Prey Range and Voracity of Main Insect Natural Enemies of Pests in Corsican Clementine Orchards
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 851-862, August 2026.To assess the biocontrol potential on the main arthropod pests of clementine orchards in Corsica, laboratory experiments were carried out using five potential predators. Their prey range and voracity were tested on three pest species. Then, a global predation rate index was calculated at the scale of the entire community of insect predators.

EPPO Bulletin, Volume 56, Issue 2, Page 357-363, August 2026.Abstract The biodiversity of Greek agroecosystems is constantly changing, with the influx of new species reshaping food webs. The present study contributes to the documentation of Greek fauna by reporting, for the first time, the occurrence of the Asian predatory ladybird Serangium montazerii Fürsch (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae). The species was detected

Summary Floral structure is a key aspect of angiosperm diversity. Recent research revealed that significant floral disparity was already present in the Cretaceous. However, our understanding of early floral diversity remains limited, as it is directly dependent on the fossil ...

Pollen longevity and viability dataset: an integrated resource for plant research and conservation
New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 1631-1639, August 2026.The most common methods to estimate pollen viability. Summary Pollen viability and longevity are key traits in plant reproduction, with implications for gene flow, crop breeding, and ex situ plant conservation. However, published data on these traits remain dispersed across disciplines, languages, and methods, limiting their accessibility and reuse ...
