A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1805-1829, August 2026.ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Alien Coccinellidae (Ladybirds) in Sochi National Park and its vicinity, Russia
Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2017 About 20 alien species of Coccinellidae were released for biological control of pests in the Caucasus. Some of them were reported to be established, but no monitoring of their populations was conducted. So the current state of the populations is unknown.

Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1937-1959, August 2026.ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 8, Page 7903-7914, August 2026.Starvation stress significantly affected the growth and development of Hippodamia variegata. Combined transcriptome and metabolome analysis and RNA interference verification revealed that HvarAKR1B1 may be involved in the response of Hippodamia variegata to starvation stress.

Control System for the Navigation of the Agricultural Robots: A Review
Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 5, Page 3474-3505, August 2026.ABSTRACT Control systems for the navigation of autonomous agricultural robots—particularly those operating in uneven terrain and in the presence of static or dynamic obstacles—have advanced considerably in recent years. As conventional machinery evolves toward increasingly automated systems, the design of reliable navigation controllers has become ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Invasive species commonly predate the offspring of native species and eggs are the life stage most vulnerable to this predation. In many species with no maternal care, females can alter the phenotype of eggs to protect them, for instance through chemical

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 458-470, August 2026.Pollinator‐targeted annual flower strips increase abundances of pollinators but also natural enemies and herbivores. Natural enemies and herbivores disperse in a taxon‐specific manner into nearby crops. Pest control by ground‐dwellers slightly increases in crop areas near the flower strips.
