Sugar provisioning increases parasitoid numbers in agroecosystems but may not reduce pest densities: A meta‐analysis

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our findings demonstrate that providing sugar sources reliably supports parasitoid populations and parasitism rate but does not systematically translate into improved pest suppression or yield gains. These results suggest that, for economic and practical reasons, sugar inputs at the edge of cultivated fields should be favoured.

European mistletoe shares a similar demographic strategy with non‐parasitic plants

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
European mistletoe (Viscum album) does not have a distinct demographic strategy from non‐parasitic plants, as quantified by time‐based life history traits. We found that mistletoe vital rates were driven by mistletoe size and position in the host tree.

fastbioclim: An R package for creating custom‐time bioclimatic and derived environmental summary variables

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1585-1594, May 2026.
Abstract Bioclimatic variables, widely used in ecological and biogeographical studies, are typically derived from 30‐year averages of monthly data (e.g. 1971–2000). Unfortunately, the use of these long‐term averaged variables often creates a temporal mismatch with the observational data collected, which potentially undermines how environmental ...

Suitability of leguminous cover crop pollens as food source for the green lacewing Chrysoperla externa (Hagen) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae). [PDF]

, 2006
Diversification of crops with species that provide suitable pollen for predators may reduce pest population on crops by enhancing predator effectiveness.

The Fungus Phlebiopsis flavidoalba’s Pathogenicity and Virulence Toward the Fluted Scale (Praelongorthezia acapulcoa) Pest of Rice and Sugarcane Crops

Microbiology Research
Sugarcane is one of the main crops in Morelos State, Mexico. The presence of the insect pest Praelongorthezia acapulcoa (Morrison), commonly known as the fluted scale insect, was observed in sugarcane and rice crops, causing losses of up to 30% of ...

Compost legacy effects in active roadside restoration: Medium‐term shifts in plant succession

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April/June 2026.
Roadside restoration experiment established on volcanic tephra following road construction in Andean Patagonia. A single application of municipal (MC) or biosolids (BC) compost rapidly increased plant cover compared with untreated controls (C) but led to distinct, exotic‐dominated plant communities over 6 years.

Microbial Contribution to Soiling and Its Impact on Photovoltaic Module Soiling in Arid Zones of the Atacama Desert

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 10, Issue 4, April 2026.
Microorganisms colonizing photovoltaic surfaces in the Atacama desert form biofilms that enhance particle adhesion and reduce energy yield. This study identifies UV‐resistant bacteria and carotenoid‐producing strains that interfere with PV performance.
