Eight Years of Citizen Science Reveal Taxonomic Confusion Patterns and Dynamic Participation in the Monitoring of Vespa velutina in Spain

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The yellow‐legged hornet (Vespa velutina nigrithorax) is a successful invasive species in Europe, where its monitoring is partially reliant on citizen science (CS) initiatives. While CS is a powerful tool for early detection, taxonomic confusion and fluctuating participant engagement can limit its effectiveness.

Panmixia in a Widespread Butterfly: High Dispersal and Ecological Generalism Buffer Against Landscape Fragmentation

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
The study examined the genetic structure of Pieris rapae across western Germany and found no genetic differentiation or isolation by distance. Fragmented agricultural landscapes did not reduce genetic connectivity compared to more heterogeneous systems, indicating near‐panmixia across the region.

Phenology, Mating Behaviour, and Ecology of a Wild New Zealand Nurseryweb Spider (Dolomedes minor)

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
Population dynamics are key to the understanding of mating systems, and in particular, sex ratios provide an insight into the evolutionary pressures governing a mating system. Variation in sex ratios can influence mate competition, parental investment strategies, and ultimately shape mating rates and the reproductive success of individuals within a ...

Perceptions, challenges and determinants of management strategy choices for combating fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) infestation in Ghana

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 9107-9118, September 2026.
Despite high awareness of fall armyworm, a significant gap remains in the use of sustainable and effective control measures. Farmers predominantly perceive synthetic pesticides as ideal despite studies highlighting botanical and traditional methods as more sustainable.
