Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3395-3407, April 2026.Chemical profiling and bioassays reveal that leaf‐litter leachates from urban trees flip between nourishing and killing Aedes aegypti larvae: dilute Tipuana tipu boosts growth, whereas concentrated, aged extracts are >90% lethal. Species‐specific chemistry thus turns street trees into potential self‐renewing tools for integrated vector control ...

What Goes First? Effects of Starvation on the Body Condition of a Neotropical Dung Beetle
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 4, Page 321-328, April 2026.We investigated how prolonged starvation affects key physiological traits in the dung beetle Dichotomius bos. Prolonged starvation leads to significant reductions in body dry mass and fat reserves, while muscle mass remains unchanged. These findings indicate that dung beetles prioritize the maintenance of locomotor muscles while mobilizing stored ...

Cocoon viability and evidence for delayed hatching by the earthworm Lumbricus terrestris in a laboratory-based study. [PDF]
, 2014 Clitellate Lumbricus terrestris, obtained from 5 commercial suppliers (A-E) and also field collected (F) - grassland in Preston, Lancashire, UK, were kept under controlled environmental conditions (15 °C and 24 h darkness) in a sterilised loam soil and ...

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 346-355, April 2026.Understanding rainfall‐driven physiological shifts in dung beetles is crucial to predict how climate change may affect the fitness and persistence of key insect species in tropical pastures. We compared body size, dry, lipid and muscle masses of Digitonthophagus gazella collected during dry and rainy seasons in Brazilian pastures to assess the effects ...

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Rice weevils (Sitophilus oryzae), a major storage pest, cause both qualitative and quantitative losses of stored grains. Normally, chemical insecticide along with fumigation is practiced for the management, but it creates health hazards. So, this study investigates the effects of temperature and duration of exposure on rice weevils. Completely

Butterfly Diversity in a Sacred Kaya Forest in Southern Kenya
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.In this study we analysed the butterfly communities in a tropical coastal forest patch and the surrounding anthropogenic ecosystems. Although both abundance and species richness were lowest inside the natural forest, vulnerable forest specialists were restricted to the forest interior and absent from all anthropogenic landscapes.

Regulation of the juvenile hormone titre in the Colorado potato beetle [PDF]
, 1978 Three main topics were investigated in regulation of the titre of juvenile hormone in haemolymph of the Colorado potato beetle ( Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say): enzymic breakdown of the hormone; binding and protection of the hormone by carrier proteins ...

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Eastern populations of monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) overwinter in the central trans‐volcanic belt of Mexico, relying primarily on lipids accumulated during migration to sustain this several‐month‐long overwintering period. This study shows how drought conditions in north‐central Mexico influenced lipid dynamics in monarchs ...

Manipulation of carbohydrate diet and ensuing changes in weight and glycogen storage in bumble bee (Bombus impatiens) queens [PDF]
, 2014 Bumble bees serve as important pollinators for human crops, but many of their populations have declined over the past 60 years. Bumble bee population decline is very important for humans because it reduces pollination services, which can lead to lower ...
