Spatial Dynamics and Lifespan of Adult Cicadas After Fire and Logging: A Radiotracking Study

Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 359-370, March 2026.
This study investigates the effects of wildfire and post‐fire salvage logging on the survival, spatial behavior, and habitat selection of Lyristes plebejus cicadas in Mediterranean pine forests. A total of 63 cicadas were captured, tagged with radio transmitters, and released in three disturbance contexts: burnt‐logged, burnt‐unlogged, and unburnt ...

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 ...

Global Biodiversity Framework Targets Can Drive Action on Insect Declines, but Lack Robust Indicators to Prove Their Effectiveness

Conservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Insects are the most diverse and functionally important animals on Earth. In at least some regions, terrestrial populations are declining. Despite this, insects are often overlooked in conservation policy, and it is difficult to assess how anthropogenic threats and conservation actions affect insect populations.

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.
