Hybridization and Immunology in Animals: A Review
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Hybridization can reshape immune function by introducing novel genetic variation and combining parental immune traits. Across animal taxa, this process may influence resistance, tolerance, and pathogen dynamics, with important implications for disease ecology and One Health.

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3603-3612, April 2026.The flea beetle's glucosinolate‐based chemical defense fails to protect larvae from nematode infection. However, the defense inhibits the nematode's symbiotic bacteria, thereby potentially impairing nematode reproduction and biocontrol success. Abstract BACKGROUND The efficacy of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) in the biological control of insect ...

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 2, March/April 2026.Abstract North Carolina soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] production has historically relied on later maturing determinate varieties, but recent availability of later maturing indeterminate varieties has raised questions about growth habit effects on soybean production in the region. This study evaluated the impact of soybean growth habit (indeterminate

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 1424-1438, March 2026.ABSTRACT Insect‐derived molecular cues can prime plant defences against herbivore attack. The genes that are sensitive to priming, and how their expression changes on the scale of days, have not been fully resolved. Moreover, priming may affect interactions with insects that are not the source of the priming cue.
