Immature Stages of the Caribbean Fruit Fly, Anastrepha suspensa
The Florida Entomologist, 1979 Brief descriptions and developmental times of the immature stages of Anastrepha suspensa (Loew) are given with emphasis on the methods of identifying larval stages. On the basis of larval mouth hook measurements, 3 larval instars have been established. Larvae having mouth hooks with average lengths of 39.2 @+ 0.25 @m, 141.7 @+ 0.54@m and 225.0 @+ 1.14 ...

Floral offer and seasonality shape plant–pollinator networks in tropical gardens
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract Urban expansion is accelerating global pressure on pollinators and their interactions with plants. Urban green spaces may nevertheless act as key refuges, provided they offer a suitable floral environment. Here, we investigated how pollinator assemblages and plant–insect pollinator networks responded to spatial and temporal floral offer (i.e.,

Host Marking Pheromone (HMP) in the Mexican Fruit Fly Anastrepha ludens
CHIMIA, 2010 Host marking pheromones (HMPs) are used by insects to mark hosts (usually a fruit) where they have already laid eggs. The compounds serve as a deterrent to conspecifics avoiding over-infestation of hosts (i.e. repeated egg-laying into an already

Gonolobus in the spotlight: History, diversity, and citizen science
TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 5, October 2026.Abstract Gonolobus (Apocynaceae) is a distinctive genus of climbing plants, distributed from the southern United States to Argentina. This study presents a comprehensive, integrative analysis of the genus, synthesizing its intricate taxonomic history, biogeographic patterns, and the contribution of citizen science to its modern systematics. We compiled

The link between colorfulness and extinction risk across the world's passerine birds
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.Abstract Many of the functional traits that mediate extinction risk across the range of biodiversity relate indirectly to a species’ ability to persist in a changing world, yet certain traits such as coloration directly affect human interactions with wildlife.

Making Mining Licit: Gold, Commodification, and the Everyday Performance of Law in Colombia
American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 3, Page 480-493, September 2026.ABSTRACT Ethnographies of resource‐making have shown that the extraction of resource value from objects is premised on obviating the emplaced lifeworlds that surrounded objects before they traveled to consumer markets. Much of this literature looks at such supply‐chain disentanglement from the viewpoint of corporate and formal regulatory practices ...

“On a tree”, “terrestrial”, or “on the rocks”? Habit diversity in the megadiverse genus Peperomia
Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1373-1384, August 2026.The plasticity of a large proportion of Peperomia species to occupy multiple types of microhabitats is not well documented due to the typically rigid categorization of habitat use. Therefore, the numerical approach presented is methodologically innovative to advance ecological data integration to provide a more realistic visualization of the habitat ...
