A High‐Resolution Method Using Individual Females to Assess the Competitiveness of Sterile Drosophila suzukii Males Under Semi‐Controlled Conditions

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 9, Page 1011-1021, September 2026.
A high‐resolution, novel method to assess the sexual competitiveness of sterile mass‐reared Drosophila suzukii males is calibrated and illustrated using different laboratory and wild type strains. Isolation of individual females after semi‐controlled cage competition tests and subsequent observation of their progeny showed that sterile males from two ...

Sibling species of the Cotesia inducta complex (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) sympatrically parasitising heterogeneous lycaenid larvae associated with ants

Entomological Science, Volume 29, Issue 3, September 2026.
Three sibling parasitoid wasps of the Cotesia inducta (Braconidae) complex attack ant‐associated lycaenid larvae in Japan. Species differ in host range, seasonal host use and feeding habitat. Differences in host‐feeding habitat may contribute to diversification within the Cotesia inducta complex. Abstract Approximately 75% of lycaenid butterfly species

Effect of blood meals and mating on biodemographic characteristics of Aedes albopictus

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 446-459, September 2026.
Lifespan did not differ between virgin and mated males and females. The number of blood meals (one and two) significantly reduced adult lifespan compared with those with no blood meal. The effect of the second blood meal doubled females' egg production and their reproductive output.

Designing Polymer Nanocomposites for X‐Ray Shielding: Mechanisms, Architectures, and Scalable Processing

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 15, 5 August 2026.
This review highlights advances in lightweight, lead‐free polymer nanocomposites for diagnostic X‐ray shielding. By linking filler chemistry, dispersion, architecture, and photon interaction mechanisms, it establishes structure–performance relationships guiding material design.

Hemiparasitic Castilleja presence is correlated with increased plant biodiversity across montane plant communities

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Premise Root hemiparasites form haustoria in belowground roots of hosts to extract nutrients and water from the surrounding hosts. Through parasitic symbiosis, these plants disproportionately affect plant communities relative to their abundance by reducing host size, altering nutrient flow, and eventually increasing local biodiversity.

Karyotype Variation and Environmental Adaptation in the Invasive Alien Freshwater Flatworm Girardia in China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Our findings provide a comprehensive baseline of the distribution, reproductive strategies, and environmental adaptations of invasive Girardia species, and underscore the urgent need for continued monitoring and effective management to safeguard native biodiversity.

Farming in the shadows of Rome: A multi‐proxy palaeoenvironmental record from Loch Clunie—Perthshire

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 915-932, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Roman impacts on local society is a subject of international significance. Loch Clunie, Perthshire, lies only 5.4 km from Inchtuthil, the only Roman legionary fortress in Scotland, and contains two crannogs and a probable lakeside hillfort. Despite this proximity and the likelihood of local–Roman interaction, these sites remain unexcavated ...

Reidite Formation From Zircon Subjected to 20, 40, and 60 GPa Shock Experiments

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, Volume 57, Issue 8, Page 1392-1406, August 2026.
Structure disordering as a result of shock pressure: In zircon shocked from 20 to 60 GPa, the shock‐induced structural disorder increases with increasing shock pressure (gray area). Shock disorder of zircon is an integral part of its transformation to reidite: Reidite occurs after amorphous material.

Disentangling Internal Tides From Balanced Motions With Deep Learning and Surface Field Synergy

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract A fundamental challenge in ocean dynamics is disentangling balanced motions and internal waves. Extracting internal tidal (IT) imprints from surface data is a central part of this challenge. Traditional harmonic analysis fails under strong incoherence and poor temporal sampling, as in global satellite observations.
