Efficacy of Clearflow Treatment Technologies in the Treatment of Mining Effluent: Field‐Level Testing at a Coal Mine

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 4, Summer 2026.
ABSTRACT Mining waste water characteristically contains high concentrations of suspended solids, total metals, and nutrients. These can be treated with flocculants within settling ponds to speed up the clarification of water by settling out the suspended solids.

Chemical egg defense in a green lacewing (Ceraeochrysa smithi) [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1996
The green lacewing Ceraeochrysa smithi (Neuroptera, Chrysopidae), like other members of its family, lays its eggs on stalks, but it is unusual in that it coats these stalks with droplets of an oily fluid. The liquid consists of a mixture of fatty acids, an ester, and a series of straight-chain aldehydes.

Summer Rainfall Drives Adaptation with Gene Flow in a Widespread Butterfly

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 12, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding how environmental variation interacts with gene flow to shape population genomic patterns is a central goal in evolutionary biology. We investigated how geographic and environmental differences impact genetic variation in the clouded sulfur butterfly (Colias philodice eriphyle) by conducting whole‐genome resequencing across ...

Attraction of the Green Lacewing Chrysoperla comanche (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) to Yeast

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2019
Many adult Chrysoperla comanche (Stephens) green lacewings were caught in traps baited with live yeast cultures during tests designed to catch olive fruit flies. All 13 yeast species tested were more attractive than the industry-standard dried torula yeast (Cyberlindnera jadinii; syn. Candida utilis). Live C.

Investigation of the global transportation of Culicoides biting midges, vectors of livestock and equid arboviruses, from flower‐packing plants in Kenya

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 260-267, June 2026.
Arboviral diseases spread by Culicoides biting midges have been introduced into Europe by unknown means. A possible route is the carriage of midges with cut flowers shipped to flower markets. We sampled Culicoides in and around a cut flower farm in Kenya; midges were caught in the vicinity and a greenhouse, but not where flowers are processed.

Three Decades of China's Bt Cotton: Achievements and Insights

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 4393-4414, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Cotton is a vital natural fibre crop with significant economic value worldwide. In response to the threat of cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera), the China government initiated a research project in 1992 to develop transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton.

New Insights Into the Distribution of Australian Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) Provided by Citizen Science

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Butterflies are one of Australia's most popular and well‐studied invertebrate groups. Much butterfly research in the country is either led or supported by amateur entomologists and citizen scientists, and yet despite this, the recent and dramatic increase in the volume of publicly accessible citizen science butterfly observations has received ...
