Life‐History, Stress‐Resistance, and Transcriptomic Variation Among a Mexican Caenorhabditis elegans Isolate and Contemporary and Ancestral N2 Lineages

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
We compared a recently isolated wild strain of Caenorhabditis elegans from Mexico City (VJV2) with the contemporary standard N2 Lab strain and the cryopreserved N2 Ancestral lineage. The strains differed in lifespan, fertility, and survival under pathogen, oxidative, and heat stress.

Agricultural Landscapes and Forest Fragments Shape Population Dynamics, Cuticular Lipids and the Conservation of the Masked Bees, Hylaeus communis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Small size solitary bees are often neglected. We successfully sample tiny masked bees with trap nests. We found population living in conventional farm lands are under risk compared to organic farm lands.ABSTRACTOrganic farming has been shown to offer advantages over conventional farming in protecting insect biodiversity, but our overall understanding ...

First Observation of Wild Double‐Flowered Rhododendron nivale With Stamen Petaloidy and Possible Parallel Evolution

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
We report the first discovery of wild double‐flowered populations of the alpine dwarf shrub Rhododendron nivale on the eastern Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau. Two geographically isolated populations (> 800 km apart) show nearly identical stamen petaloidy and floral modifications in similar harsh high‐altitude habitats, suggesting possible parallel evolution ...

Synergistic transition from type‐I‐like to type‐II‐like symptomology in a pyrethroid mixture and its impact on knockdown–mortality relationships in Musca domestica L

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 10, Page 9614-9627, October 2026.
In the present study, relationship between knockdown and mortality of insecticides was examined against the adult female housefly, Musca domestica. Type‐I pyrethroid insecticides showed a weak linkage, as early knocked down flies did not always result in mortality, while type‐II pyrethroids and organophosphates exhibited strong correlation between the ...

Assessing the potential for insecticide cross‐resistance to a novel insecticide in the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata) using phenotypic and transcript expression analysis

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 10, Page 9908-9919, October 2026.
Phenotypic and transcriptional responses to imidacloprid and isocycloseram were examined across U.S. populations of the Colorado potato beetle, showing evidence of phenotypic cross‐resistance alongside population‐level variation in detoxification gene expression.

Designing Butterfly‐Inspired Architecture in Self‐Assembled Hybrid Composites for Synergistic Structural Thermal Management

Small, Volume 22, Issue 55, 1 October 2026.
Pioneering a butterfly‐inspired design strategy, this work engineers hybrid composites with hierarchical fibrous architectures to achieve synergistic performance. By translating biological principles into scalable composite architectures, it introduces a novel pathway to lightweight, multifunctional, and cost‐effective materials.

The Adult Aedes aegypti Bacterial Microbiota is Robust to Infection with the Obligate Microsporidian Parasite Edhazardia aedis

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 10, October 2026.
In ‘The adult Aedes aegypti microbiota is robust to infection with the microsporidian parasite Edhazardia aedis’, Dom Magistrado and Sarah M. Short* use high‐throughput 16S amplicon sequencing to reveal that in contrast to a multitude of other bacterial, viral, and microsporidian pathogens, infection with the microsporidian pathogen E.
