Genome‐wide and gene‐specific DNA methylation across developmental stages in Pogonomyrmex californicus: A socially polymorphic ant

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 232-245, June 2026.
Comparison between developmental stages (larvae, pupae, worker) in Pogonomyrmex californicus revealed significant stage‐specific differences in Gene Body Methylated frequencies. Methylation sites were highly correlated between WGBS and ONT in P. californicus Genome‐wide methylation was low (~3%) and highly clustered within gene bodies (GBM), especially

Potential of the Predatory Mites Gamasellodes lavafesii (Mesostigmata: Ascidae) and Cosmolaelaps mediocuspis (Mesostigmata: Laelapidae) on Different Soil Pests/Parasites and Alternative Prey for Large‐Scale Rearing

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 5, Page 562-572, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Many species of Mesostigmata soil mites have potential as biological control agents of pests/parasites. This study evaluated the predation potential of two of these species, Gamasellodes lavafesii (Ascidae) and Cosmolaelaps mediocuspis (Laelapidae).

Influence of temperature and light on the development of moth larvae: Different response in the sister species Orthosia gothica and Orthosia cerasi

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 363-376, June 2026.
Experimental rearing of Orthosia gothica and Orthosia cerasi larvae under four controlled climate‐chamber treatments (15°C vs. 20°C; 24h darkness vs.12h light/12h dark) to isolate temperature and light effects on development. Repeated measurements of larval body size, biomass and pupation timing to quantify how growth rates and developmental duration ...

New Insight Into the Evolutionary Arms Race Between Spider Egg Sac Pseudoparasitoids and Active Maternal Care by the Spiders

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
We analysed various points of the counter‐adaptations of the spider egg sac pseudoparasitoid and spiders exhibiting active maternal care, utilising the ichneumonid Hidryta fusiventris and the wolf spider Pardosa lugubris. We observed that there is a time shift of approximately 1 month between the first egg sac of P.

Optimizing Sex Ratio and Colony Size to Enhance Reproduction and Mass‐Rearing in Spodoptera litura Under Controlled Laboratory Conditions

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Skewed sex ratios frequently constrain colony performance and limit the efficiency of large‐scale rearing systems. For Spodoptera litura, the 1:1 initial sex ratio maximizes female longevity and fecundity. When this ratio is scaled to colony sizes of 20:20, 40:40 and 60:60, the 40:40 configuration yields the best overall reproductive performance, while
