Species‐specific scents, targeted enemies: Volatile cues mediate predator attraction in willows

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 1074-1087, April 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants produce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in response to herbivory. Such signals mediate plant interactions with herbivores and their natural enemies. Different herbivores can elicit distinct responses in plants, influencing predator attraction.

Spatial overlap and temporal synchrony between guilds of insect hosts and parasitoids

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 4, Page 712-726, April 2026.
This study identified a spatial overlap between insect host guild richness and parasitoid richness. Species richness in parasitoid guilds always increased later in the season than richness of their host guilds. These findings suggest that shifts in climate and land‐use may alter the synchrony of insect trophic layers.

Landscape and local factors influence solitary bee nesting, but reported effects show little consistency across studies

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
Collectively, these findings indicate that agri‐environment schemes aiming to support solitary bees should integrate the provision of nesting resources with proximity to floral resources. The heterogeneity among studies highlights the need for solitary bee conservation measures to be tailored to local conditions and to the local fauna.

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
