Pixel‐level supervision resolves overlap: Benchmarking YOLOv12 segmentation for accurate multi‐cluster dry bean stand counting from time series unoccupied aerial systems imagery

open access: yesThe Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract An agronomic trait such as stand count is important for cultivar development and crop management practices. Manually counting the number of plants is time consuming, labor‐intensive, and prone to error. The use of unoccupied aerial systems (UAS)‐collected red, green, blue (RGB) imagery in conjunction with advanced deep learning and image ...

Time course sensor‐based phenotyping can predict Ascochyta blight disease severity in Cicer species

open access: yesThe Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Ascochyta blight is a widely occurring chickpea fungal disease that can cause severe yield loss. Breeding for crop resistance benefits from high‐throughput evaluation of plant–pathogen interactions in genotypes which can serve as sources of resistance.

Genomic and phenomic prediction models improve selection accuracy for complex traits in alfalfa

open access: yesThe Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Predictive breeding has been proposed as an effective approach to accelerate genetic gain for complex traits. Genomic prediction (GP) models have been developed in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) for key traits in the last decade. More recently, phenomic prediction (PP) models have been proposed as a low‐cost, high‐throughput alternative to GP in

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

open access: yesAustral 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

open access: yesAgricultural 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

Evaluating seedling traits, maintenance and effective costs to support tropical forest restoration practices

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 4, October–December 2026.
Seedling weeding in tropical forest restoration may not be universally needed across all species. Its cost may not be affordable for private landowners. This research shows that all landowners who wish to plant trees on their lands should be encouraged to do so—weeding or no weeding.

Integrated Transcriptomic and Physiological Analyses Reveal Disruption of Digestive Homeostasis Induced by Protease Inhibitors in Anticarsia gemmatalis Caterpillars

open access: yesArchives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 123, Issue 2, October 2026.
The peptides SKTI and GORE‐2 triggered distinct midgut responses in Anticarsia gemmatalis (Lepidoptera: Erebidae). SKTI promoted compensatory digestive and antioxidant responses, whereas GORE‐2 caused broader digestive protease repression, weaker antioxidant activation, and greater epithelial damage.

Trypsinogen Pro‐Region as a Molecular Scaffold for the Design of Competitive Peptide Inhibitors of Trypsin‐Like Proteases

open access: yesArchives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 123, Issue 2, October 2026.
Rational design of the trypsinogen pro‐region generated the peptide inhibitors GORE3, GORE4, and GORE5. Computational screening and enzyme kinetics demonstrated competitive inhibition of trypsin‐like proteases, with GORE5 showing the highest experimental potency and supporting pro‐region‐derived peptides as promising protease‐targeting molecules ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2081-2102, October 2026.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...
