Climate Change Has Already Reshaped North American Forest Pest Dynamics: Insights From Multidecadal Process‐Based Modelling

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 1, March 2026.
Climate change has rapidly expanded and shifted suitable climate conditions for eight major forest pests across North America, especially toward northern and higher elevation areas. Host exposure and overlap among pests are increasing, raising ecological and economic risks, and signaling accelerating future impacts under continued warming.

Inheritance of an extended diapause trait in the Northern corn rootworm, Diabrotica barberi (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) [PDF]

, 2014
Diapause is an adaptive trait that delays development or reproduction under unfavourable circumstances. The northern corn rootworm,Diabrotica barberi Smith & Lawrence, an important maize, Zea mays L., pest in the Diabroticite species complex, overwinters

The evolutionary ecology of interactive synchronism: The illusion of the optimal phenotype [PDF]

, 2017
In this article, we discuss some ecological-evolutionary strategies that allow synchronization of organisms, resources, and conditions. Survival and reproduction require synchronization of life cycles of organisms with favourable environmental ...

Protein Lactylation in Cancer: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Targets

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
This schematic illustrates the central role of lactylation, a lactate‐derived posttranslational modification, in linking metabolic reprogramming to cancer progression and therapy resistance. At its core, lactylation modulates proteins, influenced by metabolic shifts and environmental factors.

Potential Drivers of Successful Biocontrol: A Perspective on Parasitoids

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.
Parasitoids are central to classical biological control, yet predicting their long‐term effectiveness post release remains challenging. In Aotearoa New Zealand, three Microctonus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) species have been used against pest weevils, but key aspects of their biology remain poorly understood.

Intensity of larval diapause in the bamboo borer, Omphisa fuscidentalis

Intensity of larval diapause in the bamboo borer, Omphisa fuscidentalis
Larvae of the bamboo borer, Omphisa fuscidentalis, enter larval diapause in September and pupate in the following June (Singtripop et al., 1999). We examined the changes in the responses of larvae to exogenous 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) in order to estimate the progress of diapause development.

Co-evolution of male and female reproductive traits across the Bruchidae (Coleoptera) [PDF]

, 2008
1. Despite the obvious importance of spermatozoa to individual reproductive success a general explanation of variation in spermatozoan form and function is still lacking. In species with internal fertilization, sperm not only have to interact with the

Plant–Pollinator Interaction Potential Varies With Temperature and Precipitation in a Dryland Ecosystem Elevational Gradient

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Climatic variation may affect plant‐pollinator interaction potential by shaping intra‐annual patterns of flowering and foraging, thereby altering the windows of temporal overlap between partners. We examined whether spatial variation in temperature and precipitation predicted plant‐pollinator interaction potential across a dryland ...

A Volatile Cue From a Specialist Herbivore Primes Gene Expression Against Biotic Stress in Tall Goldenrod (Solidago altissima L.)

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 1424-1438, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Insect‐derived molecular cues can prime plant defences against herbivore attack. The genes that are sensitive to priming, and how their expression changes on the scale of days, have not been fully resolved. Moreover, priming may affect interactions with insects that are not the source of the priming cue.

Mapping of Aedes albopictus abundance at a local scale in Italy [PDF]

, 2017
Given the growing risk of arbovirus outbreaks in Europe, there is a clear need to better describe the distribution of invasive mosquito species such as Aedes albopictus. Current challenges consist in simulating Ae. albopictus abundance, rather than its
