How effective are entomopathogenic nematodes for vine weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) biological control? A meta‐analysis

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3427-3438, April 2026.
Entomopathogenic nematodes provide reliable biological control of vine weevil larvae, reducing populations by 63% on average. All five tested species are effective, with temperature (18–30 °C) being the strongest predictor of success. Abstract BACKGROUND Vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus) is a globally important pest of soft fruit and ornamental crops

Geochemical Disequilibrium at the Brittle‐Ductile Transition

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract We investigate the microtextural, microchemical, and isotopic effects of late‐stage ductile deformation in quartzite mylonites and kyanite–muscovite–quartz veins from the Raft River shear zone (Utah). Quartz microstructures record pervasive disequilibrium, expressed by unannealed features including undulatory extinction, deformation lamellae ...

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of the Characteristic Length Governing Soil Evaporation in Layered Sands

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract In arid and semi‐arid regions, ecosystems exist with shallow water tables, where evaporation is a key component of the water balance. However, systematically addressing soil evaporation remains challenging due to differing interpretations of the mechanisms that control it.

Improved Water Retention From Soil Carbon Accrual Delivers Only Marginal Agrohydrological Benefits Under Most Conditions

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Despite growing interest in soil carbon sequestration as a climate mitigation strategy, its practical hydrologic benefits in agricultural systems remain uncertain. While soil organic carbon (SOC) is known to increase available water capacity (AWC), it is unclear whether SOC induced AWC gain produces meaningful and perceptible changes in field ...

Bacterial Resilience and Vulnerability to Neonicotinoid Seed Treatments in Soil: Short‐Term Community Responses

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
This study investigated short‐term impacts of seed treatment‐derived neonicotinoids on soil bacterial communities in wheat‐planted microcosms. Over 10 days, significant Day and Day × Treatment effects on bacterial community structure were observed, with selective enrichment and suppression of specific taxa despite limited overall changes in alpha ...
