Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Adult Abundance and Larval Host Plant Use in the Ord River Irrigation Area, Western Australia

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) is a highly polyphagous lepidopteran pest; however, little is known about its seasonal population dynamics or larval host plant use in northern Australia. Improved understanding of the ecology of S. litura is increasingly important given the anticipated expansion of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton production in

Neonicotinoid seed treatments do not consistently reduce insect feeding damage nor increase yields in Maryland soy

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 699-704, November 2026.
We compared soybean plants from untreated and treated seeds across 4 sites and 3 years in Maryland. Neonicotinoid seed treatments (NST) provided little reduction in insect stippling damage and no reduction in chewing damage. NST did not result in increased plant biomass or bean yield. Abstract The use of neonicotinoid insecticides in seed treatments in

More Than Two Decades of Ungulate Exclusion Did Not Alter Soil Organic Carbon Stocks in a Temperate Primeval Forest

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 6, November–December 2026.
ABSTRACT The effects of long‐term wild ungulate exclusion on soil organic carbon (SOC) storage and soil organic matter (SOM) properties in forest ecosystems remain uncertain. Past research has been limited by short exclosure duration, shallow sampling depth, and confounding factors.

Functional memory of drought affects leaf chemical defenses and microbial interactions in aspen

New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 4, Page 1413-1431, November 2026.
Experimental design of the common garden study. Summary Drought is an important driver of tree mortality, but its long‐term impacts on trait expression remain poorly understood. Leaves are a key interface at which trees respond to abiotic stress, and foliar traits such as chemical defenses and microbial communities may play a role in determining post ...
