Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Oak wilt, caused by Bretziella fagacearum, is a destructive vascular disease of oaks in North America, yet fine‐scale spatial localisation of the pathogen in host tissues and on insect vectors remains poorly characterised. In this study, we developed and validated a species‐specific fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) probe targeting the

Oviposition behaviour of Gryon gallardoi (Hym.; Scelionidae) on eggs of Spartocera dentiventris (Hem.; Coreidae) [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2003 The oviposition behaviour of Gryon gallardoi (Hymenoptera; Scelionidae) on Spartocera dentiventris (Hemiptera; Coreidae) host eggs was investigated in the laboratory. Masses of 12 non-parasitized freshly laid (less than 24 h old) eggs were exposed to 2-5

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.Female desert locusts dig underground to lay their eggs. They displace soil, rather than removing it, to create a tunnel. We analyze burrowing dynamics and 3D kinematics and design a locust‐inspired hybrid soft–stiff robot that reproduces this mechanism. The results show the natural strategy minimizes energy, whereas alternative patterns raise costs up
