Prescribed burning shows minor impacts on black pine needle terpenes and pine processionary moth larval survival

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Our results highlight that prescribed burning in sub‐Mediterranean pine forests does not affect their resistance to PPM in the short term, either positively or negatively, indicating that it can be implemented to reduce wildfire hazard without influencing forest susceptibility to future PPM outbreaks.

Do field margins matter more than floral resources? Arthropod activity and limited spillover of natural enemies from perennial flower strips into adjacent crops

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Both flower and grass strips supported significantly higher arthropod activity than adjacent crop fields, underlining the general ecological value of field margins regardless of floral composition. The observed group‐specific responses emphasize the need for taxa‐specific analyses within heterogeneous functional groups, rather than relying solely on ...

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.
Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

Temperature Impacts on Mating and Oviposition of the Emerald Ash Borer, Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Buprestidae)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 715-724, July 2026.
The emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis, threatens ash trees in North America and Europe. To assess the role of temperature on EAB reproduction, we reared adults at one of four temperatures (12°C, 15°C, 18°C, and 21°C) and measured reproductive success.

A protracted phenology: Post‐diapause larval development of a threatened butterfly

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 4, Page 859-872, July 2026.
Larval survival during diapause was high; hibernaculum webs were mostly located near Succisa pratensis plants, which often retained vital leaves through winter. Post‐diapause developmental time varied strongly depending on exposure to different microclimates, being reduced by litter cover, solar radiation and a higher heat load index.

Winners and losers in subarctic moth communities in a changing climate: Marine regime shifts as predictors for terrestrial insect biomass

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 4, Page 945-963, July 2026.
1972–2017, the total moth biomass ina subarctic community had a positive trend but biomass trends differ betweenmoth groups based on taxonomy, phenology and resource use. In the northern latitudes, outbreaking species impact greatly moth biomass Moth biomass is associated withtemperature variables and marine Regime shifts, which can be effective ...

Evaluating Syrphid Fly Predation on Aphids Under Controlled and Field Conditions in High Tunnels: A Comparative Study With Lacewings

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 693-705, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Biological control in high tunnel systems can be optimised by matching predator species to seasonal environmental conditions. We evaluated the predatory efficacy of syrphid flies (Toxomerus marginatus (Say), Eupeodes americanus (Fabricius)) and lacewings (Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens), Chrysoperla rufilabris (Burmeister)) across laboratory ...

Insectary Plant Species Preferences of Predators and Parasitoid Families in a Mediterranean Horticultural Agroecosystem

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 803-815, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The use of insectary plants to provide alternative food and shelter resources for enhancing natural enemy activity has been established as a common practice in IPM. Candidate flowering plant species have been screened and evaluated for their contribution to enhance life parameters of beneficial insects.
