The Insect Calculator: A web tool to predict meadow arthropods based on mowing impacts

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
Although the biodiversity crisis and insect decline have gained increasing scientific and public attention, they persist, indicating that current measures are insufficient. The Insect Calculator (insektentaschenrechner.de/en), a digital tool that models and visualises the effects of mowing and environmental parameters on arthropod density and species ...

Semi‐Quantitative Monitoring of Plant‐Arthropod Interactions by eDNA Metabarcoding of Individual Flowers and Leaves

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Terrestrial eDNA analysis is currently revolutionizing our ability to monitor arthropod plant interactions. But while the approach has been shown to accurately recover arthropod communities which interacted with a flower, its quantitative capabilities are limited.

Wheat fertilization affects oviposition preference of wheat midge, Sitodiplosis mosellana (Géhin) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae)

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6740-6748, July 2026.
Wheat fertilization increased plant growth, nitrogen and protein levels, influencing the wheat volatile profile and affecting female wheat midge choice to lay eggs. This could partly result from the observed changes in the VOC profile. Abstract BACKGROUND In Canada, the orange wheat blossom midge (hereafter called wheat midge), Sitodiplosis mosellana ...

Host phenology‐driven infestation patterns of the carob moth (Ectomyelois ceratoniae) in Mediterranean walnut orchards: insights from comparison with codling moth (Cydia pomonella)

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6877-6889, July 2026.
In Mediterranean walnut orchards, Ectomyelois ceratoniae replaces Cydia pomonella as the primary pest. Capture peaks between packing tissue brown (PTB) stage and husk dehiscence define a critical window for monitoring and early harvest to prevent kernel infestation.

Bacillus thuringiensis and its pest control potential as endophyte

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6931-6939, July 2026.
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) systemically colonizes tomato plants as endophyte, inducing midgut damage, fitness reduction and immune suppression in Spodoptera littoralis larvae feeding on Bt‐colonized leaves. The immune suppression enhances the susceptibility to Bt treatments, allowing a synergistic dual use of Bt commercial formulations, by combined ...
