Devouring the Invaders: The Racial‐Ecological Politics of the Chinese Crayfish Trade in Kenya

American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 1, Page 183-194, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines entanglements of ecology, race, and foodways at Lake Naivasha in Kenya. Nonnative Louisiana red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), first introduced to Kenya in the 1960s, were once viewed as invasive but are now sought after as a delicacy among Kenya's Chinese community.

An Apple a Day Does Not Keep the Weevils Away: Enhancing Vine Weevil Monitoring With Fruit‐Based Volatiles

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 168-178, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus Fabricius; Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is an economically important pest of soft fruit and ornamental crops worldwide. Despite extensive research over three decades, the development of an effective semiochemical lure to improve monitoring for this pest remains a challenge.

Deciphering How Olive Volatiles and Fatty Acids Shape Bactrocera oleae (Rosii) Oviposition Preference Using Multivariate Regression Models

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 254-264, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The olive fly (Bactrocera oleae (Rossi)), the major pest of olives, primarily recognises visual, olfactory, acoustic, gustatory and tactile signals that regulate its behavioural activity, courtship and reproductive success, as well as the search for ideal conditions for its offspring.

Egg Adhesion of the Codling Moth Cydia pomonella L. (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) to Synthetic Substrates

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 243-253, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Previous studies on Cydia pomonella eggs have demonstrated reliable egg adhesion to the leaves and fruits of various apple cultivars. In contrast to biological substrates, this study is focused on standardised synthetic substrates to measure egg pull‐off forces and determine adhesive strength, allowing for an unbiased comparison with other ...

A Volatile Cue From a Specialist Herbivore Primes Gene Expression Against Biotic Stress in Tall Goldenrod (Solidago altissima L.)

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 1424-1438, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Insect‐derived molecular cues can prime plant defences against herbivore attack. The genes that are sensitive to priming, and how their expression changes on the scale of days, have not been fully resolved. Moreover, priming may affect interactions with insects that are not the source of the priming cue.

When Metabolomics Meets Quantitative Genetics: An Integrative Strategy to Elucidate Plant Resistance Mechanisms

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 1712-1727, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Gene pyramiding in crop varieties offers a promising strategy to achieve sustainable production and reduce reliance on pesticides. However, stacking resistance genes without understanding their biological functions may result in transient protection.

Functional Materials for Environmental Energy Harvesting in Smart Agriculture via Triboelectric Nanogenerators

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 13, 12 February 2026.
This review explores functional and responsive materials for triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) in sustainable smart agriculture. It examines how particulate contamination and dirt affect charge transfer and efficiency. Environmental challenges and strategies to enhance durability and responsiveness are outlined, including active functional layers ...
