Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.Abstract Croitana Waterhouse, 1932 (Trapezitinae) is a small genus of skippers endemic to Australia, with most species restricted to semi‐arid and arid biomes where the larvae specialise on grasses (Poaceae) in the genera Neurachne R.Br., Enteropogon Nees and Austrostipa S.W.L. Jacobs & J.Everett.

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Feed costs and limited knowledge of feeding strategies are a major constraint to the sustainability of semi‐intensive Nile tilapia aquaculture systems in sub‐Saharan Africa. In semi‐intensive systems, Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) utilizes natural pond production and supplemental feed, but their relative contributions to growth remain ...

Molecular bases of insect odorant receptor function: specificity and evolution
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 1036-1049, April 2026.ABSTRACT Insect odorant receptors (ORs) are a class of chemoreceptors that insects use to detect volatile cues in their environment. In recent years, major advances in the field of structural biology have made it possible to obtain the first structures of insect ORs.

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3011-3018, April 2026.Biological control agents performance is influenced by temperature. Two cold‐tolerant lines of O. loevigatus were developed, improving their fitness at both low and high temperatures, offering advantages far augmentative biological control. Abstract BACKGROUND The performance of biological control agents (BCAs) is strongly influenced by environmental ...

What are the vector species of the Oropouche virus?
Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 2785-2793, April 2026.Here, we review the timeline of Oropouche virus (OROV) detection in various hematophagous Diptera, from 1955 to date, including mosquitoes and midges. All vector competence experiments also are described. The results suggest that Culicoides are the primary vectors.

Selective leaf surface defenses: trichomes trap herbivorous leafminers but spare parasitoid wasps
Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 4016-4025, April 2026.Hooked trichomes on kidney bean leaves selectively entrap leafminer flies but rarely affect parasitoid wasps. This morphological barrier enables pest suppression with minimal impact on beneficial insects, offering insights for breeding pest‐resistant cultivars compatible with biological control. Abstract BACKGROUND Leafminers [e.g., Liriomyza trifolii (

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.ABSTRACT The coevolutionary radiation of 27 species of Tetraopes longhorned beetles and their Asclepias milkweed hosts represents a classic example of adaptive evolution driven by plant chemical defences and herbivore counteradaptations. Investigations to date, however, have focused on a single species, Tetraopes tetrophthalmus, which feeds on the ...

Non‐Canonical, Somatic‐Dependent Vertical Transmission of Wolbachia in an Aphid
Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.We discovered a novel somatic‐associated Wolbachia transmission strategy in cedar bark aphids (Cinara cedri), contrasting with its typical maternal vertical transmission. This unique maternally retained somatic re‐acquisition strategy—a “piggybacking” on the highly efficient obligate symbiont transmission pathway—reveals diverse endosymbiont strategies

UITOTO: a software for generating molecular diagnoses for species descriptions
Cladistics, Volume 42, Issue 2, Page 193-205, April 2026.Abstract Millions of species remain undescribed, and each eventually will require a species description with a diagnosis. Yet, we lack software that can derive state‐specific and contrastive molecular diagnoses and allows the user to validate them based on all available sequences for the taxon under study. Here we introduce UITOTO, which addresses this

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 221-234, April 2026.The height at which epiphytic bromeliads are found affects the invertebrate community composition within them. The size of epiphytic bromeliads is positively correlated with species richness of both aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates. Whether bromeliads were found in primary or secondary forest did not have a significant effect on the community of ...
