Plant Phylogenetic History, Not Diversity, Drives Insect Biodiversity Across South Africa's Biomes

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Insects provide essential ecosystem services, but there is a concern that insect abundance is in rapid decline. Identifying trends in insect biodiversity is challenging because we lack baseline data for most biogeographic regions, and most insect species remain undescribed.

Insectary Plant Species Preferences of Predators and Parasitoid Families in a Mediterranean Horticultural Agroecosystem

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 803-815, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The use of insectary plants to provide alternative food and shelter resources for enhancing natural enemy activity has been established as a common practice in IPM. Candidate flowering plant species have been screened and evaluated for their contribution to enhance life parameters of beneficial insects.

Floral resource strips enhance parasitoid abundance and diversity in apple orchards and promote agroecological advances in a South African biosphere reserve

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 559-572, May 2026.
Floral resource strips within apple orchards increased parasitoid abundance and influenced community composition, enhancing local biodiversity in the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve's transition zone. Ruderal and natural fynbos habitats supported higher parasitoid richness and abundance, emphasising the importance of conserving semi‐natural habitats ...

First record of two hymenopteran species, Brachymeria excarinata Gahan (Chalcididae) and Pteromalus sp. (Pteromalidae), as hyperparasitoids of Diadegma insulare in Senegal

International Journal of Biosciences
After being recorded as a parasitoid of larvae of the pest Plutella xylostella (L.) in April 2016, the species Brachymeria excarinata Gahan (Chalcidoidea) was subsequently identified among individuals emerging from cocoons of the parasitoid Diadegma ...

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 ...

International Journal of Biological and Chemical Sciences
The black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) (L.) (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) is a beneficial insect which is easy to rear and widely used for the decomposition of organic biodegradable waste into organic compost and other product like animal feed and poultry ...

Effects of flower patch additions and urbanisation on cavity‐nesting bees and wasps

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
Urbanisation can negatively affect cavity‐nesting bees and wasps, yet common conservation interventions such as flower patches and artificial nests lack strong empirical support. In a 2‐year experiment across urban allotments spanning an urbanisation gradient, we found no effect of added floral resources on nest uptake, while hymenopteran abundance ...
