Improved impact from the use of beneficial natural enemy species in Australian canola systems: challenges and required tools

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 11, Page 10540-10550, November 2026.
In canola production systems in Australia, practices for the use of beneficials (arthropod predators and parasitoids) as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy, have not been widely adopted. We outline how canola growers and their advisors can be supported with incremental steps, from passive to active management, to help shift them from ...

Contextually conspicuous species are more likely to be venomous: Habitat‐dependent aposematic colouration found throughout snakes

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 11, Page 2322-2334, November 2026.
Conspicuous colouration signals venomous nature throughout snakes. Abstract Many animals use conspicuous colours to advertise their unprofitability to potential predators, a phenomenon known as aposematism. For example, conspicuous banded patterns in snakes are often highlighted as aposematic signalling of their venomous nature.

Isopsylloborine A, a new dimeric azaphenalene alkaloid from ladybird beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

, 1999
A new dimeric azaphenalene alkaloid, isopsylloborine A (2), has been isolated from the ladybird beetles Halyzia 16-guttata and Vibidia 12-guttata, and its structure determined by 2D NMR methods.

Behavioral and Immunological Features Promoting the Invasive Performance of the Harlequin Ladybird Harmonia axyridis

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2017
The harlequin ladybird Harmonia axyridis is now established as a model to test hypotheses explaining why some species become successfully invasive, while others, even closely related ones, do not.

Are we underestimating the diversity and incidence of insect bacterial symbionts? A case study in ladybird beetles

, 2007
Vertically transmitted bacterial symbionts are common in arthropods. However, estimates of their incidence and diversity are based on studies that test for a single bacterial genus and often only include small samples of each host species.

Cinderella Biodiversity: Three Decades of Monitoring Reveal Earlier Emergence and Increasing Abundance in Undervalued and Sparsely Recorded Flying Insects and Ballooning Spiders

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.
We provide 30 year trends in abundance and phenology for the less well known charismatic flying insects and ballooning spiders that we class as neglected and undervalued ‘Cinderella species’. We show that of the 71 groups studied, the majority of taxa, all trophic groups and nearly all habitat use groups report increasing abundances and stable or ...

Invisible gems: Phylogenomics of Tetrastichinae jewel wasps (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) reveals cryptic taxa and rampant polyphyly Osynliga juveler: fylogenomiska analyser av glanssteklar i underfamiljen Tetrastichinae (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) avslöjar polyfyli och kryptiska taxa

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, October‐December 2026.
Most extensive phylogenetic study of Tetrastichinae to date including a third of all currently described genera, based on 3033 BUSCOs, 1820 UCEs and 12 mitochondrial protein‐coding genes. A major taxonomic revision of the group is needed, as many tetrastichine genera are either poly‐ or paraphyletic.
