Seasonal Effect on the Chemical Composition of Lippia alba Volatile Chemotypes
Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 9, September 2026.L. alba, a Brazilian medicinal species, is known for its volatile chemotypes, with fewer studies of its nonvolatile composition. Chemical characterization via GC‐MS and LC‐MS of five individuals, during the rainy and dry season, confirm the variability of the volatile composition but the nonvolatile composition was similar, with a discrete seasonal ...

The Potential for Pest Management Using Plant‐Derived Signaling Compounds
Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.Plant‐derived signaling compounds mediate ecological interactions among plants, herbivores, their natural enemies, and neighboring plants. This graphical summary highlights three approaches to leveraging such ecological interactions for environmentally benign pest management: (1) Recruitment of natural enemies: Using herbivory‐induced plant volatiles ...

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1454-1466, August 2026.Banksia attenuata (Proteaceae) attracts nocturnal scarab beetles with an unusual floral scent—the beetles pollinate the flower as they feed on pollen and nectar and mate on the inflorescences. Abstract Pollination by beetles has evolved multiple times in flowering plants but with relatively few plant species adapted specifically to pollination by ...
