Characterization of the Omnivorous Lygus lineolaris Diet in a Strawberry Field by Metataxonomy
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.This study employs metataxonomy to reveal the extensive omnivorous diet of Lygus lineolaris in a strawberry field, identifying 475 host taxa and confirming active ingestion across plant and prey sources. We introduce a novel coefficient of omnivory, demonstrating the species' strong herbivorous bias while highlighting its dietary flexibility and ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. Agrarian SeriesThe family Thripidae has about 1 750 species of herbivorous thrips, of which about 230 phytophages with a wide range of host plants are registered in European countries. The areas of these insects are very extensive. Due to the rapid invasiveness, numerous populations are common to most countries and continents.

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 6, Page 1969-1981, December 2025.This study introduces a microinjection technique to deliver dsRNA into the hemolymph of first instar larval thrips (L1s) via the foreleg coxa, enhancing survival rates by minimizing internal tissue damage. Significant knockdown of V‐ATPase‐B, CYP3653A2, and ApoLp‐II/I was achieved, with silencing of CYP3653A2 or ApoLp‐II/I increasing larval mortality ...

Stress in dipteran insects mass‐reared for sterile insect technique applications
Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1495-1523, October 2025.The connections between biotic and abiotic stress affecting mass‐reared dipteran insects and the associated stress and immunological responses. Numbers indicate the order in which the topics are discussed in this review. Abstract Stress may be viewed as the disturbance of homeostasis of an organism.

Plant Pathology, Volume 74, Issue 7, Page 2208-2216, September 2025.Adenium obesum plants displaying virus symptoms were collected in Brazil. RT‐PCR + Sanger sequencing revealed the occurrence of GRSV. HTS analysis also revealed a reassortant orthotospovirus named STCMGLG infecting an A. obesum plant. ABSTRACT Genomic reassortment is a well‐documented process in multisegmented viruses, including members in the genus ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.This study examines the invasion dynamics of the predatory invertebrate flatworm Kontikia andersoni, and its impacts on the invertebrate communities of sub‐Antarctic Macquarie Island. Our findings indicate that at higher elevations where K. andersoni is present there are significant reductions in invertebrate richness.

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 4, July–August 2025.This study evaluates the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding on flowers to detect pollinator species and compares it with traditional visual sampling methods. Findings show that while eDNA complements conventional techniques in monitoring pollinators, it cannot fully replace them, highlighting the need for integrated approaches.

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 4, July–August 2025.We show that communities of wild bees can be accurately characterized by flower‐derived environmental DNA. eDNA based monitoring recovers relative abundances of individual bee species and provides information on the ecological specificity of different bees on individual plants.

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*
Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 7, Page 1877-1933, July 2025.Broom is an attractive and common native plant across Britain, Ireland and most of Europe, and yet it is considered a harmful and invasive weed around the rest of the world. This is aided by broom thriving on poor dry soils, helped by using green stems for photosynthesis and having root nodules to fix nitrogen.

Inter‐ and intraspecific variation in performance of thrips on Chrysanthemum accessions
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 7, Page 674-683, July 2025.Fitness of pests on host plants can differ between populations and species. Frankliniella occidentalis (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) was collected at five locations in the Netherlands, and their genetic diversity was characterized, revealing the presence of both the glasshouse and lupin strain.
