Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 6, Page 5184-5194, June 2026.Gene‐specific double‐stranded RNAs effectively silence essential genes in the invasive citrus pest Delottococcus aberiae, leading to significant mortality through both microinjection and oral delivery. These results provide proof of concept for RNA interference‐based biopesticides as selective and sustainable tools for citrus integrated pest management.

Artificial light at night and invasive signal crayfish alter aquatic‐terrestrial food webs
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1740-1754, June 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Resource flows across aquatic‐terrestrial boundaries are increasingly affected by multiple stressors, such as artificial light at night (ALAN) and aquatic invasive species, which can alter the availability of resources for consumers.

Exploring marking methods for the predatory hoverfly Sphaerophoria rueppellii (Diptera: Syrphidae)
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 1109-1122, June 2026.As important pollinators and predators of aphids, hoverflies play an important role in ecosystems. This study focuses on identifying the best marking technique for the model species Sphaerophoria rueppellii that can be used to track hoverfly feeding and oviposition sites, evaluating three methods: rubidium (RbCl), fluorescein, and fluorescent dusts ...

Host plant richness and abundance drive populations of a super‐generalist xylem‐feeding insect
Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 570-579, June 2026.Philaenus spumarius abundance was assessed across 93 sites and four habitat types (olive groves, vineyards, meadows, and field margins) within eight heterogeneous agricultural landscapes over the year. In spring, nymph abundance was positively associated with herbaceous plant species richness and vegetation cover, highlighting that even super ...

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Agricultural practices are significant drivers of biodiversity loss, leading to reductions in ecological function and services across regions. To mitigate these effects, habitat restorations within agroecosystems have gained prominence as a strategy to enhance ecological stability and increase biodiversity.

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 3, Page 875-888, May 2026.This study demonstrates the ecological value of natural regeneration in the Brazilian Cerrado by analysing the biomass, richness and trophic structure of leaf litter insects across pasture (P), regenerating (R) and native (N) areas. We found that R areas supported insect communities more similar to N habitats than to Ps, with higher richness, greater ...

Entomologia 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.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 598-620, May 2026.In a given number of samples, grassland sward islets contain more species of arthropods than the surrounding sward. When corrected for abundance, there is no difference in species richness, suggesting that the effect of islets might purely be to concentrate arthropods. The community structure differences indicated by non‐metric multidimensional scaling
