Defecation in preparation for ecdysis drives microplastic clearance in cricket nymphs
Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.In preparation for ecdysis, cricket nymphs cease feeding and gradually clear their gut contents via frass production, which removes most ingested MPs from their digestive tract. Following exoskeletal moulting, the foregut lining, including any remaining MPs, is shed and excreted alongside frass approximately 6 h later.

Plant Biology, EarlyView.Eriophyid mites reprogram the structural and biochemical traits of sclerophyllous leaves in Crinodendron patagua, promoting the formation of nutrient‐rich and protective gall tissues. Abstract Sclerophyllous plants present a suite of traits, including small, leathery leaves with thick cuticles, dense trichomes and sclerified tissues, which are often ...

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 2, December 2026.Abstract The two‐spotted spider mite (TSSM; Tetranychus urticae Koch) is a major pest of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), causing substantial yield and quality losses in Ethiopia and worldwide. The present study evaluated the impact of tomato branch pruning and trellising on TSSM populations and yield in the Central Rift Valley tomato production area ...

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.The greenhouse thrips, Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis (Bouché, 1833), is an important avocado pest in New Zealand, where repeated infestations reduce leaf quality and tree vigour. To assess biological control stability under different predator assemblages, this study evaluated thrips population dynamics and predator survival across two sequential phases ...

Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 9, Page 682-689, September 2026.ABSTRACT This study reports, for the first time, the use of the speckled cockroach Nauphoeta cinerea as a promising bioindicator for genotoxic monitoring. It was validated through control groups (both positive and negative) in addition to testing lettuce (Lactuca sativa ) samples from public street markets consumed by N. cinerea specimens in Pernambuco,
