From fertilizer to insecticide: urban leaf litter chemistry alters the survival landscape of Aedes aegypti

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3395-3407, April 2026.
Chemical profiling and bioassays reveal that leaf‐litter leachates from urban trees flip between nourishing and killing Aedes aegypti larvae: dilute Tipuana tipu boosts growth, whereas concentrated, aged extracts are >90% lethal. Species‐specific chemistry thus turns street trees into potential self‐renewing tools for integrated vector control ...

Bergmann's rule: Why does body size increase with latitude?

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 830-843, April 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Bergmann's rule describes the tendency for endothermic body size to increase with latitude, a pattern often attributed to climatic factors. However, the underlying developmental and evolutionary mechanisms remain debated.

Gut Microbiomes of Marine Zooplankton: Consequences for Host Performance, the Biological Carbon Pump, and Prokaryote Biogeography

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2026.
Expected effects of zooplankton microbiota on the host and on the ecosystem. Stylized mesozooplankton holobiont (center) with arrows indicating respiration within the gut and export of faecal pellets and associated microbes. Orange bubbles summarise microbiome‐mediated consequences for host performance (digestive help, detoxification, vitamin ...

Distinct Morphological Traits of Korean Populations of Pryeria sinica Moore (Lepidoptera: Zygaenidae) Associated With Regional Variation

Entomological Research, Volume 56, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Pryeria sinica Moore is a significant pest of Celastraceae and Pentaphylacaceae plants, causing extensive defoliation in East Asia and beyond. Although its morphological and biological characteristics have been studied in China and Japan, detailed research on the Korean population remains limited.

Entomopathogenic Potential of Cuticle‐Degrading Enzymes From Bacillus velezensis CE100 in the Biocontrol of Pine Aphid (Eulachnus thunbergii Wilson)

Entomological Research, Volume 56, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Pine aphids are notoriously destructive sap‐sucking pests of pine trees worldwide. We investigated the biocontrol efficacy of Bacillus velezensis CE100 through cuticle‐degrading enzymes, which degrade the cuticular structure of insect pests.
