Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors

Population Ecology, Volume 68, Issue 1, January 2026.
Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...

RNAi Regulator C3PO Promotes Arbovirus Infection in Insect Vectors

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, 19 January 2026.
RNA interference (RNAi) is vital for eukaryotes to defend against virus infection. The C3PO complex takes part in RNAi but its role in regulating viral infection remains unclear. This work finds that insect C3PO facilitates arbovirus replication by degrading precursors of miRNAs, especially miR‐971‐3p.

Toward Sustainable Pesticide Application: Bridging Efficacy and Food Safety

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, 19 January 2026.
A fully bio‐based lignin coacervate system is developed for pesticide delivery, enhancing leaf retention, UV resistance, adhesion, and wetting. The formulation enables pH/laccase‐triggered release for prolonged action, reduces ecological toxicity, and is fully washable, reconciling agricultural efficacy with food and environmental safety.

Pollinator, herbivore, and climatic selective pressures differ across a floral color transition zone

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Premise Spatial and temporal variations in climate and ecological interactions may underlie the origin and maintenance of floral color polymorphisms across a species range. Betalains are nitrogen‐containing, phylogenetically restricted pigments that, like the widespread and well‐studied anthocyanins and carotenoids, may attract pollinators ...
