Subspecies taxonomy reflects social and geographic patterns of taxonomic effort in tetrapods

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Subspecies have been used in conservation biology to account for intraspecific patterns in genetic diversity, which is crucial to long‐term population viability. Although over 3200 subspecies are currently assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, their biological relevance remains controversial.

Optimizing biodiversity offsetting for habitat succession and colonization dynamics

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity offsetting aims to compensate for ecological losses from development through conservation and restoration. However, its long‐term outcomes under repeated impact–offset cycles remain uncertain. Using a conceptual forest succession model, we evaluated how offset outcomes are affected by interactions among compensation scale ...

Interaction Effects of Farm-Scale Management of Natural Enemy Resources and the Surrounding Seminatural Habitat on Insect Biological Control

Insects
Agricultural land use and its disruption of natural landscapes threaten the provision of ecosystem services, such as biological control by natural enemies, because of habitat simplification and management intensification.

Pest‐preservation paradox among insects

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
The pest‐preservation paradox is a non‐binary perspective that insects range from those that are harmful and requiring management on the one side, to those requiring conservation intervention on the opposite end of the spectrum. Importantly, the vast majority of insects occur somewhere in the center of the two extremes, and their position along the ...

Lost in Translation: Why Biologic Therapies for Intervertebral Disc Degeneration and Low Back Pain Have Not Reached the Clinic (Yet)

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
From preclinical promise to clinical translation in intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). Robust preclinical evidence supports a range of biologic therapies, with consistent improvements in imaging, extracellular matrix composition, inflammation, and behavior.

Significance of Temperature-Rearing Conditions for Shaping the Responses of the Aphid Parasitoid, Aphidius platensis, Under Thermal Stress

Agriculture
A key aspect of climate change’s impact on organisms lies in understanding their ability to adapt to shifting and stressful environmental conditions. Insects, such as parasitoid wasps, are particularly vulnerable due to limited heat tolerance.

Evaluating predatory arthropods for the biological control of the invasive Thrips parvispinus (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) in greenhouse sweet pepper

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8448-8458, September 2026.
This study shows that Orius laevigatus, alone or with other predators, consistently achieved the highest suppression of Thrips parvispinus and improved plant productivity. Franklinothrips vespiformis coexisted with O. laevigatus, suggesting compatibility, while Amblyseius swirskii declined, indicating incompatibility. Individually, F. vespiformis and A.

The role of biological control in the sustainability of the Cuban agri-food system

Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene, 2018
We analyze the role biological control plays in the Cuban agri-food system and discuss an experience at the country level that demonstrates that the pest problem can be handled through an ecological and sustainable approach.
