A review of non‐native scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Coccoidea) of Australia and the challenges in maintaining current and accurate pest lists

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Over 870 species of scale insects, also called coccoids (infraorder Coccomorpha), have been recorded from Australia. Here, we systematically review literature, databases and collections to provide a revised assessment of non‐native species to Australia, for which we confirm those species that are introduced and extant in Australia (including ...

Arrowroot Starch–Based Edible Coatings Containing Lemongrass Essential Oil Emulsion for the Postharvest Preservation of Giant Umbu

Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Giant umbu is a highly perishable tropical fruit whose rapid ripening limits its distribution and availability, yet postharvest studies for this species remain scarce. To address this gap, the present study evaluated the effectiveness of arrowroot starch–based edible coatings incorporating emulsions containing different concentrations of lemongrass ...

Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamics Simulation Analysis Identify Potential Dual GAA and GFAT Inhibitors From Ethnomedicinal Plants as Antidiabetic Agents

Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Alpha‐glucosidase (GAA), a crucial enzyme involved in carbohydrate metabolism, is found in the intestine. Glutamine:fructose‐6‐phosphate amidotransferase (GFAT), on the other hand, is a rate‐determining step enzyme in the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway implicated in insulin resistance.

Threshold responses of floating meadow fish communities to floodplain forest cover in the lower Amazon River

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Forest cover is positively associated with fish biomass and fisheries yield in the Amazon River floodplain, and many species enter flooded forests to feed, spawn, or seek refuge from predation. Floating macrophyte beds, known as floating meadows, in Amazon floodplains support high fish diversity and serve as nursery habitat for many fishes of ...

Biosilicification in monocots: Comparative analysis highlights contrasting patterns of deposition

American Journal of Botany, Volume 112, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Premise New insights into biomineral uptake and sequestration are important for understanding how plants grow. Some plants accumulate silica accretions in precise locations in particular cells. Among monocots, controlled biosilicification occurs in several different forms and is restricted to commelinids and orchids. Methods We utilized energy‐

Heavy Metal Contamination in Arenillas Ecological Reserve Soils: Correlation and Conservation Impact

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 36, Issue 10, Page 3454-3471, June 2025.
ABSTRACT This study addresses the critical knowledge gap regarding heavy metal contamination in the soils of the Arenillas Ecological Reserve (AERv), located on the southwest coast of Ecuador. Despite being a fragile and highly biodiverse ecosystem, little is known about the magnitude, spatial distribution, and drivers of heavy metal contamination in ...
