Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 1481-1491, February 2026.Both active and passive questing ticks, Hyalomma excavatum and Ixodes ricinus, were assessed for behavioural responses to two novel plant‐derived repellent volatile organic compound blends. Both tick species were repelled by the products, and both novo blends were significantly more repellent than currently available commercial products.

Lack of phenotypic and evolutionary cross-resistance against parasitoids and pathogens in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
, 2012 BackgroundWhen organisms are attacked by multiple natural enemies, the evolution of a resistance mechanism to one natural enemy will be influenced by the degree of cross-resistance to another natural enemy.

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.Aerobic Actinobacteria belonging to the genus Frigoribacterium were isolated from adelgid Adelges (Aphrastasia) pectinatae collected from a Korean fir tree. Genomic analysis showed that these bacteria encode a range of factors that may be involved in the interactions between Frigoribacterium strains, adelgids and/or Korean fir trees.

From beginning to end: the synecology of tree‐killing bark beetles, fungi, and trees
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 314-335, February 2026.ABSTRACT Over a century of research has revealed an amazing complexity of behaviours and physiological adaptations that allow tiny bark beetles to overcome large trees, sometimes resulting in outbreaks that kill millions of trees. Turning a tree into a home and successfully raising offspring involves constant interactions among the beetles, the tree ...
