Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.ABSTRACT Tomato farmers in southern Ghana incur losses due to the infection of crops by the tomato spotted wilt virus (Orthotospovirus tomatomaculae). The occurrence of the virus varies among individual tomato crops, influenced by the vector population and changing weather patterns. This study investigates the effect of early spring weather conditions (

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 1656-1667, February 2026.Cotton varieties resistant to Thrips tabaci exhibit lower soluble sugar and free amino acid levels, with smaller post‐infestation increases in these nutrients, resulting in reduced feeding rates and lighter damage. Key resistance evaluation indices include: damage severity, soluble sugars, free amino acids, soluble proteins, superoxide dismutase ...

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 ...
