A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Effects of bioinsecticide exposure route on aphids and their natural enemies in oilseed rape
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Fatty acids, silicone polymers and surfactants reduced aphid numbers but caused natural enemy mortality under direct exposure, while minimal residual activity suggests potential for targeted, compatible use in integrated pest management. Abstract BACKGROUND Myzus persicae Sulzer and Brevicoryne brassicae L.

Investigating zeta‐cypermethrin resistance stability in California Drosophila suzukii populations
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.After continuous selection and removal of selection pressure in spotted‐wing Drosophila, zeta‐cypermethrin resistance remained stable over several generations. Following a population bottleneck, zeta‐cypermethrin resistance increased without selection, highlighting the importance of insecticide rotation.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In brood‐site pollination mutualisms, where flowers provide nutrition and shelter to pollinator offspring in exchange for pollination, resource allocation to inflorescences is directly related to plant and pollinator fitness.
