From hindrance to indirect protection: Ant‐mediated enemy‐free space for gall midges (Cecidomyiidae) on Macaranga myrmecophytes (Euphorbiaceae)

Entomological Science, Volume 29, Issue 3, September 2026.
Ant presence was associated with lower gall density on Macaranga beccariana, whereas trees lacking ant defense had more galls and showed different parasitism patterns. Results from this natural experiment suggest that plant‐ants may indirectly influence gall midges through their effects on multitrophic interactions.

Efficacy of Zeolite and Kaolin in the Control of Cacopsylla pyri (L.) (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) and Compatibility With Its Natural Antagonist Anthocoris nemoralis (Fabricius) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 8, Page 1080-1087, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The pear psyllid Cacopsylla pyri is a major pest of European pear orchards, responsible for significant yield losses. Its management is increasingly challenged by restrictions on synthetic active ingredients, resistance development, and the shift towards sustainable production systems.

Species composition of blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) colonizing pig carcasses exposed to bifenthrin‐ and clothianidin‐containing products

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 574-581, September 2026.
High clothianidin concentrations prevented colonization, while bifenthrin showed a non‐significant trend of reduced fly abundance, indicating both insecticides may suppress blow fly activity on treated carcasses. Adult emergence rates were unaffected, with no statistically significant differences observed across insecticide treatments, suggesting ...

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1805-1829, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Hymenopteran parasitoid complex and fall armyworm: a case study in eastern India

Scientific Reports
Fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) has significantly affected maize crop yields, production efficiency, and farmers’ incomes in the Indian Eastern Gangetic Plains region since it was first observed in India in 2018.

Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1937-1959, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...

Environment and Host Genetics Drive Infection Outcomes in a Butterfly Host, but Do Not Interact With Each Other

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study examined how host genetics and larval food plant environment influence parasite infection outcomes in monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) infected with the protozoan Ophryocystis elektroscirrha. We tested for genotype × environment interactions on infection status, infection burden, lifespan, and wing size.
