Effect of temperature on growth and development of rice weevil [Sitophilus oryzae (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)] on polished rice

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Rice weevils (Sitophilus oryzae), a major storage pest, cause both qualitative and quantitative losses of stored grains. Normally, chemical insecticide along with fumigation is practiced for the management, but it creates health hazards. So, this study investigates the effects of temperature and duration of exposure on rice weevils. Completely

Dragon Fruit (Hylocereus undatus) Pollination in New Zealand: A Preliminary Report on Flower Visitors, Natural Pollen Deposition, and Artificial Pollination

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
Dragon fruit (pitaya; Hylocereus undatus) is a promising, new high‐value crop in New Zealand. The large nocturnal flowers open for one night and close early in the morning the following day over a 3‐ to 6‐month long flowering period. In dragon fruit's native range, hawkmoths and bats are key nocturnal pollinators, and honey bees visit flowers during ...

Assessing the Impact of Agrivoltaic Systems on Pasture Plant and Soil Microarthropod Communities

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Agrivoltaic systems (AVS) integrate renewable energy production with agricultural use, creating novel microclimatic gradients that can affect ecosystem structure and function. However, the ecological consequences of these gradients on vegetation composition and soil biological quality remain poorly understood, particularly in pasture‐based AVS

Sex‐Specific doublesex Regulation Targeting the Color‐Patterning Gene h Underlies the Evolution of Wing Sexual Dimorphism in the Harlequin Ladybug Harmonia axyridis

open access: yesEvolution &Development, Volume 28, Issue 1, March 2026.
doublesex regulates sexual dimorphism in elytral color patterns of Harmonia axyridis by downregulating the color patterning gene h in males. This regulatory link diverged in derived color morphs, coinciding with the loss of sex‐specific elytral color patterns.
