Conservation challenges and opportunities for native apple (Malus) species in Canada

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 134-156, January 2026.
Apple, one of the world's most widely cultivated and economically important fruit crops, has two wild relatives native to Canada. In this review, we describe the importance of these native apple species to Indigenous heritage and the current threats the species faces due to pests, diseases, and habitat loss.

Innovative Pest Management: Synthesis and Field Trials of Four Pheromones for Controlling Astylus variegatus (Coleoptera: Melyridae) in Soybean Crops

open access: yesEntomological Research, Volume 56, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Soybeans and corn are the primary agricultural commodities in Brazil, both of which are significantly impacted by various pests, leading to substantial crop losses. Notably, coleopteran and lepidopteran pests pose considerable challenges, as they have developed resistance to increasingly toxic chemical controls.

Development of Nanocomposite Bioactive Diffusion Films (BDFs) Combined With Gamma Irradiation for Control of the Rice Weevil Sitophilus oryzae, a Stored Product Pest

open access: yesJournal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The fumigant toxicity of 6 essential oils (EOs) (Mediterranean, Southern, citrus, cinnamon, Asian, and savory thyme), 2 citrus extracts (CEs: organic OCE and natural NCE), and 2 active formulations (microfluidized nanoemulsions AF‐1 and AF‐2) was investigated for control of rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae), a stored product pest.

Pollinator‐dependence and specialization in three sunbird‐pollinated, fire‐stimulated flowering species

open access: yesPlant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 215-224, January 2026.
Through field observations and experimental verification, we found that three bird‐pollinated plant species with fire‐stimulated flowering specialize in, and heavily depend on, sunbirds for pollination and reproduction. Abstract Fires dramatically reduce both floral resources and pollinator abundance, potentially compromising flowering plant ...

Hemiparasitic plant impacts animal and plant communities across four trophic levels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
1.Understanding the impact of species on community structure is a fundamental question in ecology. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that both sub-dominant species and parasites can have a disproportionately large impact.
