Transfer of Potentially Toxic Metal(loid)s From Ultramafic Soils in a Tri‐Trophic Food Chain Experiment

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
Potentially toxic metal(loid)s (PTMs) bioaccumulated across a plant‐herbivore‐predator food chain. Irrespective of soil concentrations, female crickets actively selected PTM‐enriched leaves, while predatory mantids showed no developmental impairment. Trophic transfer of PTMs was rather influenced more by a function of intrinsic species traits than by ...

Establishing Baseline Information for the Risk of Flatheaded Borer Attack in Specialty Tree Crops Using Trapping and On‐Farm Surveys

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 8, Page 1088-1101, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Flatheaded borers (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) are largely xylophagous insects. Larvae of flatheaded borers tunnel into the trunks of trees, with boring and feeding damage eventually appearing on the surface as discolored bark, sunken areas, bark splits or bark sloughing.

Morphology, ultrastructure and sexual dimorphism in antennal sensilla of Belionota prasina (Thunberg, 1789) (Coleoptera, Buprestidae) [PDF]

Journal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics, 2023
The “jewel beetle” - Belionota prasina (Thunberg, 1789), is a polyphagous insect pest found throughout India and its neighboring countries. To develop semiochemical-based pest control strategies, we must first comprehend the entire morphological features

High‐Throughput DNA Barcoding Reveals Multi‐Trophic Networks of Plants, Leafminers and Parasitoids in a Tropical Dry Forest

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 6, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Tropical dry forests host highly diverse insect communities and complex trophic interactions, yet these networks remain difficult to resolve using conventional molecular or rearing‐based approaches. Here, we integrate long‐read DNA barcoding, non‐target sequence co‐amplification, and host plant taxonomy to reconstruct tri‐trophic interactions ...

Temognatha sundholmi Lang sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), a New Species From the Great Victoria Desert and New Host Plants: An Investigation Using DNA Barcoding With Implications for Taxonomy of Temognatha and Melobasis

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT A new species of jewel beetle, Temognatha sundholmi Lang, sp. nov., is described from the Great Victoria Desert in South Australia. A broader investigation, using mtDNA COI ‘barcode’ sequences from 178 specimens representing 54 buprestid species, places the new species with Temognatha flavocincta (Gory & Laporte, 1838) in the informal ...
