Forest type influence on Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 660-674, May 2026.
Responses to forest type depended on the developmental stage of dipterans. Bract traits and forest type influenced larval abundance, but forest type had no impact on adult alpha and beta diversity. Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks showed a nested pattern for both forest types.

Plant‐mediated interactions between specialist insect herbivores of Melaleuca quinquenervia: Implications for management of invasive populations

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
The gall forming herbivores Lophodiplosis trifida and L. indentata reduced the growth of M. quinquenervia, with L. trifida exerting a stronger suppressive effect than L. indentata. The addition of L. trifida enhanced the negative impact of L. indentata on plant growth, whereas the presence of L. indentata did not affect the impacts of L. trifida.

Phage Display Derived Antibodies Against Antimicrobial Peptide FsPDF2 Reveal Stress Response in European Beech

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 1950-1965, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant defensins (PDFs) are cysteine‐rich antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that are important components of plant immunity. They occur constitutively in various plant tissues but are also upregulated upon stress. Therefore, these molecules are of great interest as markers for the diagnosis of early forest stress response in plants at the molecular

Gall responses to drying habitats: Insights from the community of galling herbivores associated with the superhost Caryocar brasiliense Cambess. (Caryocaraceae)

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 924-938, April 2026.
Drying processes in the Brazilian palm swamps or Veredas, impact the gall community in adjacent vegetation by reducing the abundance of more sensitive galls, while more resilient galls acclimate to increased dryness by developing thicker protective tissues. Abstract Galls are new plant organs formed in response to the stimuli of gall‐inducing organisms,

Phylogenomics illuminates the complex evolutionary history of Bibionomorpha (Diptera)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.
Phylogenomics supports Bibionomorpha (Anisopodoidea, Bibionoidea, Scatopsoidea, Sciaroidea) as a sister to Brachycera, and Axymyiidae and Perissommatidae as a sister to Bibionomorpha + Brachycera. Phylogenetic network analysis tentatively suggests a possible reticulation leading to Bolitophilidae, and mitochondrial data support sex‐specific ...

Mitogenomic phylogeny of Eurytoma Illiger (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae): Genus delimitation, species‐group assessment and recurrent host‐use transitions

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.
Mitogenomes from 166 Eurytomidae confirm Eurytoma is polyphyletic; 10 species groups are recovered in Eurytoma s.s., and several lineages are reassigned to other genera or newly delimited clades. Conservative head and mesosoma traits, especially the postgenal depression and ventral shelf, track mitogenomic clades closely, supporting their diagnostic ...

Evolution and speciation [PDF]

, 2008
Charles Darwin is the father of evolution as we know it today. In his book “The origin of species” he states that new species originate from ancestral species that change over time, and that the mechanism of the change is natural selection.

Urbanization Intensity, Vegetation Cover and Plant Vigor Affects Stem Galls Occurrence and Abundance in a Widely Distributed Ruderal Tropical Plant

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
In this study, we demonstrate that urbanization intensity reduces the abundance of stem galls on Turnera subulata, while increased vegetation cover and plant vigor promote higher occurrence and abundance. These findings highlight the importance of native vegetation in sustaining specialized insect‐plant interactions and provide evidence that plant ...
