Assessing Biodiversity in Agricultural Landscapes Through Drone‐Based Environmental DNA Sampling

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We developed a drone‐based environmental DNA (eDNA) swabbing method to assess hexapod diversity in agricultural fields under three management types (conventional, organic, and IP‐Suisse), detecting 75 taxa across 19 families. eDNA replicates showed consistent within‐field results, though no significant differences in diversity were found between ...

HvarAKR1B1‐mediated tolerance in Hippodamia variegata: Deciphering the metabolic adaptation and fitness costs under prolonged starvation

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 8, Page 7903-7914, August 2026.
Starvation stress significantly affected the growth and development of Hippodamia variegata. Combined transcriptome and metabolome analysis and RNA interference verification revealed that HvarAKR1B1 may be involved in the response of Hippodamia variegata to starvation stress.

Quantifying Species‐ and Community‐Level Predation by Carabids on Pests and Beneficials in Wheat and Beet Fields

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 812-821, August 2026.
Using a model that translates qualitative prey detection data (presence/absence in predator gut contents) into quantitative predation rates, we estimate species‐specific diets of nine carabid species across three cropping contexts (wheat, sugar beet, and fodder beet) for five prey types.

Prey Range and Voracity of Main Insect Natural Enemies of Pests in Corsican Clementine Orchards

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 851-862, August 2026.
To assess the biocontrol potential on the main arthropod pests of clementine orchards in Corsica, laboratory experiments were carried out using five potential predators. Their prey range and voracity were tested on three pest species. Then, a global predation rate index was calculated at the scale of the entire community of insect predators.

Semi‐Quantitative Monitoring of Plant‐Arthropod Interactions by eDNA Metabarcoding of Individual Flowers and Leaves

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Terrestrial eDNA analysis is currently revolutionizing our ability to monitor arthropod plant interactions. But while the approach has been shown to accurately recover arthropod communities which interacted with a flower, its quantitative capabilities are limited.

Diversity of Resilin Incidence in the Insect Leg

Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 6, June 2026.
Resilin incidences in the insect cuticle are commonly detected by fluorescence microscopy using the property of Resilin protein matrices to emit blue light after excitation with UV light. This indirect method produces significant background signal.
