Nanostructured Protein Surfaces Inspired by Spider Silk

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 51, December 23, 2025.
Harnessing recombinant spider silk technology, bioengineered spidroin variants enable the creation of functionalized nanostructured coatings with tunable affinity for specific targets, supporting a broad range of applications ‐ from antifouling surfaces and targeted drug delivery to advanced cell therapies and precision bio‐patterning via lithography ...

Kymachrysa, a new genus of Nearctic Green Lacewings (Neuroptera, Chrysopidae, Chrysopini)

open access: yesZooKeys, 2014
Two North American species of green lacewings have undergone a number of changes in their generic assignments and are currently classified as incertae sedis. Here we demonstrate that adults (both sexes) and larvae of these species share a set of features that distinguishes them from currently described genera.

Tri‐trophic interactions of soil mite Sancassania polyphyllae (Acari: Acaridae) with fungal biocontrol agents

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Mycophagous invertebrates can significantly impact the efficacy of fungal biocontrol agents; yet the interaction between these agents and Sancassania polyphyllae (Acari: Acaridae), commonly found in soil ecosystems, remains poorly understood. Our study demonstrates that Sa.

Insecticides outweigh rye cover crop in triggering secondary pest outbreaks

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 12, Page 7971-7984, December 2025.
Insecticides outweigh rye cover crop in triggering secondary pest outbreaks. Zeus Mateos‐Fierro*, Ashley Leach, Ian Kaplan. Spider mite and melon aphid outbreaks are enhanced with broad‐spectrum insecticides, while natural enemies are reduced. However, rye cover crop has little effect on either pest or natural enemy populations.

Evolution of green lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae): a molecular supermatrix approach [PDF]

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, 2018
Abstract We present a time‐calibrated phylogeny of the charismatic green lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae). Previous phylogenetic studies on the family using DNA sequences have suffered from sparse taxon sampling and/or limited amounts of data.

The end of a myth – Bt (Cry1Ab) maize does not harm green lacewings

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2014
A concern with Bt-transgenic insect-resistant plants is their potential to harm non-target organisms. Early studies reported that Cry1Ab-producing Bt maize and purified Cry1Ab harmed larvae of the green lacewing, Chrysoperla carnea.
