Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 4, July 2026.Pinellia pedatisecta has a simplified inflorescence structure, compared to its congeners with highly specialized trap pollination systems. However, our study suggests that P. pedatisecta also captures and releases pollinating insects by the spathe movement during flowering season.

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 803-815, July 2026.ABSTRACT The use of insectary plants to provide alternative food and shelter resources for enhancing natural enemy activity has been established as a common practice in IPM. Candidate flowering plant species have been screened and evaluated for their contribution to enhance life parameters of beneficial insects.

Strong diel variation in the activity of insect taxa sampled by Malaise traps
Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 533-546, June 2026.Malaise traps sampled different communities during mornings (06:00–12:00), afternoons (12:00–16:00), evenings (18:00–22:00), and nights (22:00–06:00), highlighting the difference in diel rhythm between taxa. The highest diversity and abundance of insects were found during afternoons, the lowest diversity during night, and the lowest abundance during ...

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 3, Page 875-888, May 2026.This study demonstrates the ecological value of natural regeneration in the Brazilian Cerrado by analysing the biomass, richness and trophic structure of leaf litter insects across pasture (P), regenerating (R) and native (N) areas. We found that R areas supported insect communities more similar to N habitats than to Ps, with higher richness, greater ...

Evolution of Reproductive Plasticity in a Seasonal Tropical Environment
Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.We reveal widespread occurrence of seasonal reproductive plasticity, including reproductive diapause, in Nymphalid butterflies in a seasonal rainforest in the Amazon. This highlights that, not only in temperate but also tropical habitats, seasonality is an important driver of plastic life history strategies. ABSTRACT Seasonality can drive the evolution

Forest type influence on Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 660-674, May 2026.Responses to forest type depended on the developmental stage of dipterans. Bract traits and forest type influenced larval abundance, but forest type had no impact on adult alpha and beta diversity. Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks showed a nested pattern for both forest types.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 1950-1965, April 2026.ABSTRACT Plant defensins (PDFs) are cysteine‐rich antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that are important components of plant immunity. They occur constitutively in various plant tissues but are also upregulated upon stress. Therefore, these molecules are of great interest as markers for the diagnosis of early forest stress response in plants at the molecular
