, 2020 The burrower bug, Cyrtomenus mirabilis (Perty, 1836) (Hemiptera: Cydnidae) is the main soil pest in peanuts. Its main damage is related to the attack on pods during the development phase of the kernels. Nymphs and adults insert the stylet of their oral apparatus, reaching the developing grains.

Feral Buffalo Effects on Critical Subsurface Refugia for Chelodina rugosa in Northern Australia
Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Freshwater turtles worldwide face escalating threats resulting from habitat alteration, and the absence of detailed assessments for many taxa underscores the need for greater attention. In northern Australia, feral ungulates are a major driver of wetland degradation, with emerging evidence that buffalo activity threatens freshwater turtle ...

Time‐stressed Bar‐tailed Godwits exploit novel prey during migratory fuelling
Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 4, Page 1681-1695, October 2026.Long‐distance migratory birds breeding in the Arctic face challenges as earlier snowmelt shifts the timing of vital resources. To keep up with these advancements, birds will need to modify their migration. Higher fuelling rates during stopover have been identified as a critical mechanism for accelerating migration, but this requires adequate food ...
