Henbit is an attainable cover crop

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, June 2026.
Henbit is a short‐season plant that grows through the winter. It seeds itself in the spring with seeds that stay dormant through the summer and germinate in the fall. Winter growth makes henbit a good cover crop for the offseason of summer cash crops. Abstract Henbit (Lamium amplexicaule L.) is a potential cover crop in the Central United States, but ...

Sentience in cephalopod molluscs: an updated assessment

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1311-1333, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This article evaluates the evidence for sentience – the capacity to have feelings – in cephalopod molluscs: octopus, cuttlefish, squid, and nautilus. Our framework includes eight criteria, covering both whether the animal's nervous system could support sentience and whether their behaviour indicates sentience.

Impacts of Silage Biostimulants on Nematofauna in Banana Crop Soils: A Sustainable Alternative to Nematicides

Agronomy
Radopholus similus, commonly known as the burrowing nematode, is one of the major pathogens affecting banana production. Currently, the control of this pathogen relies on chemicals, as no resistant varieties are available.

Over three‐quarters of earthworm species lack protection in China, a crisis exacerbated by climate change

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Earthworms, as ‘ecosystem engineers', play a crucial role in regulating ecosystem functions and shaping community structures. Due to climate change, earthworms face severe survival pressures and extinction risks. However, whether conservation efforts targeting aboveground biodiversity can cover the long‐neglected earthworm diversity remains unknown. To

Reproductive Strategies and Karyotype of the Burrowing Nematode, Radopholus similis.

Journal of nematology, 2011
Karyotype, gametogenesis, and gonad morphology were characterized for 56 Radopholus spp. isolates collected from Africa, Australia, Central America, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Guadeloupe, Puerto Rico, North America (Florida), and Hawaii. Seven of the isolates, all collected from Florida, were citrus-parasitic.

A global assessment of abyssal–hadal vermiform lebensspuren: Functional consistency with depth

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Lebensspuren—sedimentary traces produced by benthic organisms—are widespread on deep‐sea floors but remain infrequently reported from abyssal (~ 3000–6000) and hadal (> 6000 m) environments. Here, we present the most comprehensive assessment of abyssal–hadal vermiform lebensspuren to date, spanning multiple ocean basins and reaching full‐ocean

Bacteriophages in the Rhizosphere: Roles in Nutrient Cycling, Bacterial Community Structure, and Animal‐Mediated Dispersal

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
This review discusses bacteriophages' roles in soil ecosystems, highlighting their impact on nutrient cycling, plant health, and soil remediation, as well as animal‐mediated phage dispersal mechanisms. Overall, while bacteriophages have potential biotechnological applications, their negative effects on microbial functions and nutrient cycling highlight

Global Comparative Genomics of the Burrowing Nematode, Radopholus similis

PhytoFrontiers™
Radopholus similis is a devastating pest to tropical agriculture, including economically important crops such as banana and citrus. To better understand the diverse biology of R. similis, the genomes of 18 populations from five continents were sequenced and compared to (i) provide a snapshot of the global genetic diversity of R ...

FIRST OCCURRENCE OF THE BURROWING NEMATODE (RADOPHOLUS SIMILIS) ON GINGER (ZINGIBER OFFICINALE) IN BRAZIL

Arquivos do Instituto Biológico, 1998
ABSTRACT The burrowing nematode, Radopholus similis, is reported infecting ginger, Zingiber officinale, in Brazil for the first time. Also, in the sarne material, Meloidogyne javanica was detected provoking galls on the rhizomes.
