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

open access: yesEntomologia 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.

Effects of Time‐Since‐Fire on Ant Interactions With Nectar Resources in a Semi‐Arid Landscape

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Semi‐arid ecosystems are shaped by frequent wildfires, making the management of landscape disturbances a major conservation challenge in this region. Ant–plant nectar interactions, driven by mutualisms, contribute to ecosystem functioning and biodiversity, with interaction networks a poorly understood aspect of ecosystem recovery from ...

Phylogenetic Analyses of True Ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae: Coccinellini) Reveal Directionality in Diet Evolution and Support a Boreotropical Origin of the Tribe

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
A newly generated large‐scale molecular phylogeny of true ladybirds (Coccinellini) clarifies their evolutionary relationships and supports a boreotropical origin in the Paleocene, with multiple independent southward dispersals. Ancestral diet reconstructions suggest an initial specialization on aphids, followed by expansions in host range and ...
