The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1256-1284, August 2026.
This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Methyl 2-methylbutyrate produced by Streptomyces saccharicans strain ZBY1-20 inhibits Monilinia fructicola causing peach brown rot

Biological Control
Postharvest peach brown rot disease, predominantly caused by Monilinia fructicola, leads to significant economic losses, with up to 50 % fruit rot. Current control strategies rely heavily on chemical fungicides, raising concerns about pathogen resistance,

Adapting to Change: The Dynamic Crop Production Systems of Smallholder Farmers in the PNG Highlands

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, Volume 67, Issue 2, Page 240-253, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Smallholder sweet potato farmers in Papua New Guinea's Eastern Highlands Province (EHP) face challenges as they navigate social, economic, demographic, and environmental change. While they routinely adapt to weather variability and shifting markets, population growth is placing additional strain on an already finely balanced farming system ...

Felons’ chattels and English living standards in the later fourteenth and fifteenth centuries

The Economic History Review, Volume 79, Issue 3, Page 1024-1051, August 2026.
Abstract The later fourteenth and fifteenth centuries have long occupied an intriguing and contested place in discussions of England's long‐run economic development. One key issue around which debate has coalesced is the living standards of the population as a whole and of different groups within it. We contribute to this debate by bringing forward new

The multidimensional regulation roles and mechanisms of calcium in fruit quality

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2747-2767, August 2026.
This review explores how calcium signaling molecule integrates plant hormones, environmental cues, and developmental signals to influence external fruit traits, internal nutritional properties, and physiological disorders. ABSTRACT Calcium (Ca2+), a dual‐functional mineral that serves both as an essential structural factor and a signaling molecule ...

Transcriptome and Hormone Regulations Shape Drought Stress‐Dependent Fusarium Head Blight Susceptibility in Different Barley Genotypes

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 5738-5755, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Little is known about regulatory mechanisms that crop plants use to respond to combinations of abiotic and biotic stress. We analysed four barley genotypes under simultaneous Fusarium culmorum infection and drought stress by phenotyping for Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) disease, drought stress responses, hormone profiling and transcriptome ...

Expression of pathogenesis-related proteins in potato brown rot plants confers resistance to filamentous pathogens under field trials

Scientific Reports
The present investigation aims to use innovative metagenomics technologies and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) to compare the microbial communities of conductive and suppressive soils in connection to brown rot disease in the entire value ...
