Feeding ecology of Australian Christmas beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae): Implications for conservation and habitat management

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract Christmas beetles (subfamily Rutelinae, genera Anoplognathus, Calloodes and Repsimus) are an ecologically important and culturally significant group of Australian scarabs, known for their striking appearance and seasonal mass emergences. Over the last decade, anecdotal reports suggest widespread population declines, raising concerns about ...

Method for Lignin Analysis in Wood by Fluorescence Microscopy

open access: yesMicroscopy Research and Technique, Volume 89, Issue 4, Page 578-589, April 2026.
Autofluorescence in extractive‐free wood slides is a promising approach for investigating the relationship between fluorescence intensity and lignin content, particularly when combined with automated photomicrograph analysis using ImageJ. ABSTRACT Native Amazonian species present high anatomical variation which is reflected in their lignin content ...

Growth Response of Crop Legumes to Soil Microbiota Is Linked With Soil Nutrients and Planting History

open access: yesPlant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil microbiota provide essential services to plants, but predicting or manipulating these benefits is difficult. Here, we investigated microbial benefits to legume crops at a landscape level to uncover factors that predict those services and can be modified by growers.

From fertilizer to insecticide: urban leaf litter chemistry alters the survival landscape of Aedes aegypti

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3395-3407, April 2026.
Chemical profiling and bioassays reveal that leaf‐litter leachates from urban trees flip between nourishing and killing Aedes aegypti larvae: dilute Tipuana tipu boosts growth, whereas concentrated, aged extracts are >90% lethal. Species‐specific chemistry thus turns street trees into potential self‐renewing tools for integrated vector control ...

Towards an attract‐and‐reward strategy: evaluating nectar resources and HIPVs under laboratory conditions to enhance Aphelinus mali parasitism activity, a key parasitoid of Eriosoma lanigerum

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3955-3963, April 2026.
Euphorbia segetalis is a promising attractant insectary plant for Aphelinus mali. Meanwhile, Vicia faba and Vicia sativa are a promising nectar resource to sustain the parasitoid in early spring when the population of Eriosoma lanigerum is low, and honeydew is scarce.
