Host plant‐specific volatiles of Beauveria bassiana‐colonized plants initiate trophic plant–aphid–predator cascades

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 10, Page 9538-9552, October 2026.
Endophytic colonization of melon plants by B. bassiana modifies the crop volatile profiles in a genotype‐dependent manner. A predator choice is biased toward endophytically colonized plants infested with aphids revealing a guardian within effect of the fungus of great potential in integrated pest management.

Cannibalism in Buchananiella whitei (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) and its intraguild interactions with seven predatory mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae & Laelapidae)

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 10, Page 10030-10038, October 2026.
Extraguild prey reduces cannibalism and intraguild predation in Buchananiella whitei, while first‐instar nymphs dominate most predatory mites, with outcomes affected by body size and behavioral traits. Abstract BACKGROUND Cannibalism and intraguild predation (IGP) are common interactions among predators that can influence the effectiveness of ...

Crop diversification through strip cropping increases arthropod abundance across trophic levels and enhances biocontrol potential

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 10, October 2026.
Our results demonstrate that crop diversification through strip cropping increases arthropod abundances across trophic levels, supporting more functionally diverse and balanced agroecosystems that enhance biocontrol potential. Abstract Crop diversification aims to support arthropod populations and promote natural pest control processes that are ...

Functional Metagenomics Reveals Gut Microbial Biosynthetic Potential for Essential Nutrients in Juvenile Chum Salmon

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 10, October 2026.
At 35 days posthatching, the gut microbiome of juvenile chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) encodes complete biosynthetic pathways for essential amino acids (threonine, leucine, valine/isoleucine and lysine) and B‐vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin and biotin) that are absent or incomplete in the host genome. Bacterial taxa, including Bartonella, Acinetobacter

Persistence without prosperity at the upper range margin: Elevation, microhabitat buffering and biotic pressure in a range‐expanding spider

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 5, Page 926-943, October 2026.
Anthropogenic linear features facilitate high‐elevation colonization. Parasitoid pressure declines markedly with elevation. Cocoon damage increases despite reduced parasitism at high elevation. Abstract The upper elevational range limits of thermophilic arthropods reflect constraints on population persistence rather than simple presence.

Coinfections Dampen the Effects of Temperature on Host–Parasite Interactions

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 10, October 2026.
Temperature can drive large shifts in host–parasite interactions, but these shifts need not correspond to strong effects on coinfecting parasite interactions. Coinfection may provide a stabilizing effect on disease in a warming world—but this effect can falter when hosts are faced with multiple stressors.

Host‐Associated Differentiation in a Parasitoid Wasp Connected to Venom‐Related but Not Chemosensory Genes

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 19, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The mechanisms driving the megadiversity of parasitic wasps remain a central question in evolutionary ecology. To investigate the genomic architecture underlying host‐associated differentiation in parasitic wasps, we generated a de novo genome assembly and performed whole‐genome re‐sequencing of 17 populations of the parasitoid wasp Asecodes ...
