Spatial Dynamics and Lifespan of Adult Cicadas After Fire and Logging: A Radiotracking Study
Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 359-370, March 2026.This study investigates the effects of wildfire and post‐fire salvage logging on the survival, spatial behavior, and habitat selection of Lyristes plebejus cicadas in Mediterranean pine forests. A total of 63 cicadas were captured, tagged with radio transmitters, and released in three disturbance contexts: burnt‐logged, burnt‐unlogged, and unburnt ...

Orchard Management Influences Predation of Halyomorpha halys Eggs
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 3, Page 202-211, March 2026.We investigated predation of eggs of the invasive stink bug Halyomorpha halys on apple trees in conventional, organic, and extensively managed Dutch orchards. Predation exceeded 40% in extensively managed orchards but was only about 10% in conventional and organic ones. We used camera traps to reveal natural enemies that may contribute to H.

Sex‐Specific Control and Incomplete Matings: Sperm Removal Behavior in a Bush Cricket Species
Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 3, Page 194-203, March 2026.In this study, we investigated which sex influences the duration of sperm removal behaviour (SRB) in the ornate bush cricket, Metaplastes ornatus. Female traits showed a weak effect on SRB duration, and lighter females mated more frequently. Frequent unsuccessful mating terminations shortened SRB indicating high level of sexual conflict.

Social media highlights the overlooked impact of cats on arthropods
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 2, Page 460-465, March 2026.The impact of domestic cats on vertebrate biodiversity is unequivocal; however, we still know little about their effects on arthropods. By analysing over 17,000 photos and videos from social media platforms (iStock and TikTok), we documented 550 predation events of cats on arthropods.
