Method and timing of rhizobacteria inoculation to plant roots alters success and strength of aphid suppression

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 732-741, November 2025.
Inoculating plants with beneficial rhizobacteria using sodium alginate encapsulation to create ‘bacterial beads’ offers a targeted method for pest control for crop plants. Delivering rhizobacteria to roots at germination enhanced aphid suppression compared to seed inoculations.

Identification of potential predators of western bean cutworm (Striacosta albicosta) in field corn through molecular gut‐content analysis

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 11, Page 1165-1176, November 2025.
The noctuid pest western bean cutworm (Striacosta albicosta) lays its eggs in corn fields over the season. Various generalist predators consume the eggs and larvae of this pest. To improve integrated pest management of S. albicosta, this study identified key trophic interactions between S. albicosta and predatory arthropods in corn fields.

Decay stages of Jurassic wood debris from Scotland: evidence for the coevolution of fungal rot, arthropods and the nurse log strategy

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 1557-1571, November 2025.
Summary A key feature of extant conifer forests is the high percentage of seeds that germinate and establish on dead wood; in some forests, this can exceed 90%. This deadwood can act as an ideal nursery for young tree species, leading to this type of seedbed being termed ‘nurse logs’.

Homeostatic Counter‐Regulation Mediates Spermidine‐Induced Triacylglyceride Reduction in Drosophila melanogaster—From Phenotype to Molecular Mechanism

The FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 20, 31 October 2025.
In Drosophila melanogaster females fed a standard diet containing 2.5% yeast extract (low‐yeast diet), spermidine (Spd) administration does not enhance the endogenous Spd pool but increases the excretion of catabolic N1‐acetylspermidine (N1AcSpd) and reduces fat stores. This process requires the catabolic Akh/AkhR pathway.

Dynamic eIF3‐S6 Phase Separation Switch Instructed by m6A Modification Drives the Molting of Locusts (Adv. Sci. 39/2025)

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 39, October 20, 2025.
Molting of locusts Molting is critical for insect development and growth. The migratory locust Locusta migratoria, a worldwide pest species, undergoes five molting stages in its life cycle and has been widely used as a model for studying the molting development.
