Phylogenetic insights into Dyopsinae (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae): Resolving the systematic position of Thiacidinae

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.
In this study, a new phylogenetic study reclassifies the moth subfamilies Dyopsinae and Thiacidinae. For the first time, Thiacidas postica—the type species of Thiacidinae—was sequenced and shown to belong within Dyopsinae, in the Ceroctena clade. As a result, Thiacidinae is reinstated as the tribe Thiacidini (stat. nov.) within Dyopsinae.

A review of non‐native scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Coccoidea) of Australia and the challenges in maintaining current and accurate pest lists

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Over 870 species of scale insects, also called coccoids (infraorder Coccomorpha), have been recorded from Australia. Here, we systematically review literature, databases and collections to provide a revised assessment of non‐native species to Australia, for which we confirm those species that are introduced and extant in Australia (including ...

Evaluation of Heliconia for growth, flowering and flower yield

Journal of Horticultural Sciences, 2023
Heliconia is utilized as ornamental plants, usually being grown both as landscaping plants and as cut flowers, owing to colour and the longer durability of its floral bracts.

Evolution of UV reflection in bee‐ and bird‐pollinated flowers

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 201-214, January 2026.
Pollinators shape floral UV reflection across angiosperms, supporting the bee‐avoidance hypothesis in red flowers and revealing mixed patterns in white and yellow flowers. Abstract Floral colour is a key trait mediating plant–pollinator interactions, with UV reflection hypothesized to evolve in response to the effectiveness of pollinators.

Valorization of Waste Grape Pomace: Effects on Growth, Flowering, and Leaf Nutrient Content of Dahlia variabilis sp. “Figaro” Violet

Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Composting is a sustainable method widely used in the evaluation of organic wastes, and stabilized soil amendments and growing media can be obtained by this method. In this study, the effects of compost obtained from grape pomace on the growth and development of Dahlia variabilis “Figaro Violet” were investigated by adding 20% and 40% to the growing ...

Pollination ecology in the tropical Andes: moving towards a cross‐scale approach

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2312-2345, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Plant–pollinator interactions structure ecological communities and represent a key component of ecosystem functioning. Pollination networks are expected to be more diverse and specialised in the tropics, but pollination ecology in these regions has been understudied in comparison to other areas.

Threshold responses of floating meadow fish communities to floodplain forest cover in the lower Amazon River

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Forest cover is positively associated with fish biomass and fisheries yield in the Amazon River floodplain, and many species enter flooded forests to feed, spawn, or seek refuge from predation. Floating macrophyte beds, known as floating meadows, in Amazon floodplains support high fish diversity and serve as nursery habitat for many fishes of ...
