Non-Invasive Sampling Reveals Genetic Differentiation and Lineage Structure in the Rare Butterfly <i>Luehdorfia chinensis</i> Leech (Lepidoptera Papilionidae). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Non‐invasive sampling was evaluated as a genetic tool for the rare butterfly Luehdorfia chinensis using naturally shed materials. Fifth‐instar larval exuviae provided high‐quality mitochondrial DNA and enabled robust population genetic analyses.

Treatment of cotton with plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria consortium alters host location and oviposition of Spodoptera exigua

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 7123-7136, July 2026.
Two plant‐growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) consortia (AU8 and TX1) induced a deterrence of host plant location and oviposition behavior of Spodoptera exigua females in both susceptible and resistant cotton plants. Most of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) increased in PGPR‐treated plants compared to untreated plants. # indicates treatments not

RNA interference in crop protection: opportunities and challenges during the transition to commercialization

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 5971-5986, July 2026.
RNA interference (RNAi) technologies, host‐induced gene silencing (HIGS) and spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS), potentially offer sustainable crop protection. However, efficacy, costs, regulatory clarity, and socio‐environmental impacts require further evaluation for broader use.

The grapevine microbiota: A review on the possible impacts of plant protection programs on phyllosphere microorganisms

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.
This review highlights recent advances in understanding how plant protection programs and alternative fungicides affect the taxonomic composition of the grapevine phyllosphere microbiota. Bacterial and fungal communities are primarily shaped by the plant compartment, vineyard location, and sampling time. Plant protection programs generally have a minor

Lepidoptera

Las mariposas pertenecen a uno de los órdenes de insectos con mayor diversidad, Lepidoptera. Su admirado aspecto colorido, cuyo objetivo es evitar la depredación, se debe a las escamas. En muchos casos, poseen pelos urticantes que, con el afán de defenderse, pueden ocasionar lesiones graves.

Tropical Bee Assemblage Diversity Decreases With Elevation While Body Size Increases

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.
Photos of bee specimens collected in the Colombian Andes across a nearly 3000 m elevational cline. They are arranged to illustrate both the decline in richness with elevation and the increase in community average body size with elevation. ABSTRACT Elevation gradients are powerful drivers of changes in species composition, richness, and functional ...
