When invasions go unnoticed: Public perception of the freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii in Europe

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1957-1973, June 2026.
Abstract Biological invasions are a major driver of biodiversity loss, yet inconspicuous or “cryptic” species often escape detection and public awareness, limiting management responses. We investigated the freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii, likely native to China and now present on six continents, through a 22‐month multilingual online survey

Responses of Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) to sulfoxaflor exposure

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2020
Harmonia axyridis is an important predator of several pest species and is part of many Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs. To assess the risks of pesticide application to H. axyridis, we studied the effects of sulfoxaflor on H. axyridis larvae. At 72 h after treatment, the acute toxicity LR50 was 311.9476 g a. i.

Genetic Variation in Chemical Defence Affects Protection of an Herbivorous Insect Against Predation

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 9, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Genetic variation contributes to intraspecific differences in the chemical defence in many insect species, yet the underlying genetic mechanisms remain poorly understood. The horseradish flea beetle, Phyllotreta armoraciae, sequesters glucosinolates from its horseradish host plant and activates them using endogenous myrosinase enzymes.
