An RNA interference biopesticide reduces reproduction of the honey bee parasite Varroa destructor by down‐regulating embryo development pathways

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 3, Page 2694-2707, March 2026.
Varroa destructor mites exposed to dsRNA specific in sequence to a V. destructor calmodulin gene significantly effected gene expression of adult female mites sampled 5 days after entering a honey bee brood cell to reproduce. Significantly down‐regulated genes included Calmodulin and were associated with calcium ion binding and embryo developmental ...

Practices, Management and Resource Preferences of Backyard (Hobby) Poultry Owners in Central North Carolina: A Qualitative Study

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
Backyard, or hobby, poultry owners in central North Carolina primarily viewed their flocks as pets, and reported self‐sufficiency in managing flock health with support from online social networks. Zoonotic disease prevention and biosecurity education that appeals to the pet‐owner mindset should be further explored for use in backyard poultry settings ...

Archipelagic Habitat Use by the Black Wood Pigeon

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.
Satellite tracking of Black Wood Pigeons in the Izu Islands (2022–2025) revealed frequent interisland movements, with flights ranging from 4 to 170 km. Many individuals dispersed among islands after breeding and returned the following spring, indicating partial migratory or nomadic behavior at the archipelagic scale.

Adaptive Significance of Nickel Hyperaccumulation by Plants

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.
Metal hyperaccumulation may enhance plant fitness through multiple, non‐exclusive mechanisms, including elemental defense against herbivores and pathogens, altered pollinator interactions, and increased reproductive performance in metal‐rich soils. Metals may also affect plant–plant interactions via elemental allelopathy and improve stress tolerance ...
