Polarization vision and the physiological basis for trichromatic vision in Philaenus spumarius: Understanding host‐seeking behaviour in insect vectors for Xylella fastidiosa control

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 2, Page 503-519, March 2026.
We investigated the role of vision in host‐seeking behaviour by Philaenus spumarius, the main European vector of Xylella fastidiosa, through an integrated anatomical, optical, physiological, and behavioural study. Our data highlight that the spittlebug uses visual cues, including polarized light, which may aid in detecting the polarized reflections ...

Exploring Larval Axolotl Brain Development: Insights Into Developmental and Functional Constraints

Evolution &Development, Volume 28, Issue 1, March 2026.
We studied brain shape and volume variations during larval development of the Mexican axolotl. Modularity, morphological integration, and allometric regressions supported both mosaic and concerted evolution models, highlighting a complex interplay of constraints during axolotl ontogeny.

Molecular detection of pathogens in an equine fever diagnostic panel: 2019–2023

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 2, Page 486-496, March 2026.
Abstract Background A common diagnostic approach for febrile horses is to test for a panel of potential pathogens. Panels are curated by expert opinion and vary between diagnostic laboratories. Objectives To report the results of a newly developed equine fever diagnostic panel (EFDP) between 2019 and 2023 and evaluate the frequency of positive results.

Social media highlights the overlooked impact of cats on arthropods

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 2, Page 460-465, March 2026.
The impact of domestic cats on vertebrate biodiversity is unequivocal; however, we still know little about their effects on arthropods. By analysing over 17,000 photos and videos from social media platforms (iStock and TikTok), we documented 550 predation events of cats on arthropods.

Egg Adhesion of the Codling Moth Cydia pomonella L. (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) to Synthetic Substrates

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 243-253, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Previous studies on Cydia pomonella eggs have demonstrated reliable egg adhesion to the leaves and fruits of various apple cultivars. In contrast to biological substrates, this study is focused on standardised synthetic substrates to measure egg pull‐off forces and determine adhesive strength, allowing for an unbiased comparison with other ...
