Hairy, hairy quite contrary: Pollination and functional floral traits in a hirsute carrion‐scented stapeliad

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Floral mimicry of decaying substrates of animal origin, such as carrion or faeces, is associated with unusual traits such as geoflory, deep maroon or yellow colouration, floral hairs and unpleasant odour, but the functional significance of these traits for attracting and manipulating pollinators has seldom been examined.

Spectral Characterization of the Life Stages and Physiological Responses of Diatraea saccharalis Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) Larvae Parasitized by Cotesia flavipes Cameron (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 5, Page 436-452, May 2026.
Hyperspectral proximal sensing was used to characterize the life stages and physiological responses of Diatraea saccharalis and to detect parasitism by Cotesia flavipes. Distinct spectral signatures differentiated eggs, larval instars, pupae, and adults, as well as live, dead, and parasitized larvae.

Phylogenomics and the evolution of larval feeding habits in the blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae)

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
Phylogenomic data from anchored hybrid enrichment provide a new phylogeny of Calliphoridae that delimits the family and confirms division into eight monophyletic subfamilies. Fossil‐calibrated divergence times place the origin of Calliphoridae in the mid‐Eocene (ca. 41 Mya) along with other rapidly radiating families of oestroid Diptera. Reconstruction

The Quest for Functional Ingredients for Sustainable Aquaculture Feeds in Sub‐Saharan Africa

open access: yesAquaculture Nutrition, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The aquaculture sector plays a key role in ensuring food and nutritional security as well as fostering economic growth in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). However, as the sector continues to grow, its future faces economic, environmental, and sustainability challenges.

No genetic differentiation among populations up to 300 km apart in three species of carrion beetles

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 6, Page 953-967, December 2025.
Habitat fragmentation threatens biodiversity by disrupting gene flow; understanding species' dispersal abilities is key to determining whether they are limited by habitat or mobility. Carrion beetles show no significant population genetic structure across up to 320 km, indicating high dispersal ability and unrestricted gene flow.

Insect floral visitors vary spatiotemporally and influence fruit production in mango orchards

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 6, Page 1121-1136, December 2025.
Native stingless bees (Tetragonula spp.) were the most abundant flower visitors in mango orchards, and their visitation sharply declined with distance from native vegetation. Hover flies and stingless bees showed complementary spatiotemporal visitation patterns, but hover flies could not fully offset pollination loss deeper in the orchard.
