Plant Domestication Affects the Oviposition Behavior and Performance of Ganaspis kimorum, a Parasitoid of Drosophila suzukii

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 908-921, August 2026.
In this study, we investigated the effects of blueberry domestication on the oviposition behavior and performance of Ganaspis kimorum, a parasitoid of Drosophila suzukii. Domestication of blueberries reduced the oviposition‐searching behavior of the parasitoid but enhanced parasitoid performance, including offspring performance. Additionally, blueberry

Assessing Whether Habitat Suitability Models Can Predict Abundance of an Insect Pest

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Our research addresses a critical question in pest management: whether habitat suitability models can effectively predict pest abundance across landscapes. We found two models (BioClim and Random Forest) that captured the expected wedge‐shaped relationship, with substantial variation in predictive capacity among models.

Fruit Juice Processing Technologies and Their Impact on the Content of Bioactive Compounds—A Review of Current Approaches

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Fruit juices contain a variety of bioactive compounds (mainly polyphenols, anthocyanins, carotenoids, and vitamin C) with antioxidant properties. Traditional thermal processing methods may negatively affect the stability of these compounds, leading to reductions in polyphenol and anthocyanin content, decreased vitamin C levels, and antioxidant activity.

Revisiting the predation paradox for the Wood Thrush, a declining Neotropical migrant

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Despite an increased density of mid‐trophic level predators in urban and suburban areas compared to rural areas, the survival of smaller prey animals, including the eggs and chicks of nesting songbirds, often remains relatively high in these areas.
