Parasitic behavior of Amobia distorta (Diptera: Miltogramminae) and defensive behavior of its hosts, Anterhynchium spp. (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Eumeninae)

Entomological Science, Volume 29, Issue 2, June 2026.
The parasitic behaviour of Amobia distorta and the defensive behaviour of its hosts, Anterhynchium flavomarginatum (native species) and A. gibbifrons (probably non‐native), were observed. Abstract Two Anterhynchium species, A. flavomarginatum and A. gibbifrons, are solitary tube‐renting eumenine wasps that occur sympatrically in Japan.

Induced defence by a root hemiparasite increases host plant resistance against future infection

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 1279-1288, June 2026.
Infection by root hemiparasites can increase mortality of parasites during future infection, indicating induced host defence mechanisms. Abstract European grassland plants are frequently attacked by root hemiparasites. However, little is known about host defence responses to parasitism.

Challenges and management of parasitic weeds in Ethiopia

CABI Agriculture and Bioscience
Abstract Background Unlike regular weeds, parasitic weeds parasitize their host crop for sustenance, and critically reduce growth and productivity of the host plants. Main body The parasitic weeds or heterotrophic ...

Infectious Diseases Management in Small‐Scale Freshwater Aquaculture in West Africa: Lessons for Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Infectious diseases are an increasing threat to food security, small‐scale livelihoods and the sustainability of aquaculture in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). In sub‐Saharan Africa, aquaculture is expanding rapidly but production systems often remain fragile.

Response of cereals to intercropping with non‐food crops in tropical and subtropical regions: A meta‐analysis

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Intercropping cereals with non‐food intercrops (NFICs) provides a means to enhance cereal productivity while providing additional benefits such as improved soil health or forage production. We conducted a meta‐analysis to investigate the effect of NFICs on cereal yields, cereal nitrogen uptake, and striga (Striga spp.) infestation, using 874 ...

Brassica biofumigation cover crops in US agroecosystems: A systematic review of research from 2014 to 2024

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Biofumigation with brassica cover crops (BCCs) is gaining momentum in the United States as an ecologically sound alternative to chemical pest suppression in agricultural systems. This review critically evaluates the impacts of Brassica species on soil health, weed suppression, disease mitigation, and control of plant‐parasitic nematodes (PPNs)

From immunity to community: A predictive trait space model for white plague disease on Caribbean reefs

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Disease outbreaks have played important roles in structuring communities. Therefore, the ability of individuals within populations to resist disease and their corresponding immune and molecular‐scale traits may provide a basis for predicting community dynamics of ecosystems facing disease outbreaks.

Habitat fragmentation alters post‐dispersal more than pre‐dispersal seed predation through edge effects

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract In addition to causing loss of biodiversity, habitat fragmentation can alter species interactions. Relative to well‐studied effects of fragmentation on mutualistic interactions like pollination, effects on antagonistic interactions remain poorly understood.

Indirect effects of herbicide use on the Bombus community mediated through changes to shrub and forb communities

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Pesticides are used around the world to control and suppress undesirable species. In many cases the direct effects of pesticides are well understood and characterized, describing how environments are likely to be altered. However, these direct effects are likely to cause other species to respond to ecosystem alteration. For example, herbicides
