Managing pests by increasing predators through late termination of cover crops
Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8477-8487, September 2026.Adding cover crops to crop rotations can improve the sustainability and ecosystem functioning of agroecosystems. By delaying cover‐crop termination, growers can effectively increase natural enemy populations and reduce the need for chemical controls. Abstract BACKGROUND Adding cover crops to crop rotations can improve the sustainability and ecosystem ...

Wildlife Letters, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 139-148, September 2026.Asiatic black bears in Russia face conservation threats such as habitat destruction and fragmentation, which exacerbate food shortages caused by crop failures. This study explores an innovative approach to rehabilitating bears that abandon hibernation in mid‐winter due to extreme exhaustion by providing supplemental food near their den sites.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Oceanic lithosphere is continuously destroyed by subduction, challenging our ability to develop tectonic reconstructions. One way to tackle this problem is to examine relics of once‐consumed oceanic domains preserved along convergent margins. In the New England Orogen (eastern Australia), disrupted exposures of ultramafic rocks loosely define ...

Martian Sand Dunes as Natural Ice Sensors: How to Identify Ice Composition From Dune‐Ice Morphology
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract The seasonal exchange of martian volatiles between the atmosphere and surface drives the formation and modification of gullies, spiders, and other surface features on Mars. Studies of such seasonal ice‐driven activity rely on correct interpretations of ice composition and coverage.

The Potential for Pest Management Using Plant‐Derived Signaling Compounds
Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.Plant‐derived signaling compounds mediate ecological interactions among plants, herbivores, their natural enemies, and neighboring plants. This graphical summary highlights three approaches to leveraging such ecological interactions for environmentally benign pest management: (1) Recruitment of natural enemies: Using herbivory‐induced plant volatiles ...
