Feeding Preference and Foraging Behaviour of Eriopis connexa on Two Aphid Species

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 4, Page 444-453, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aphids are phloem‐feeding insects that cause both direct and indirect damage to crops, reducing agricultural productivity. Among the available pest control strategies, biological control using natural enemies is a sustainable and effective approach. The ladybird Eriopis connexa (Germar, 1824) is a generalist predator known for its voracity and

Exploring management options for moose at their southern range limits considering growing disease risk

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
Simulation models for moose in New York including hypothetical disease and harvest scenarios help explore management options under uncertainty. While the population currently appears to be stable, increases in parasite‐induced disease attributed to shared space‐use with white‐tailed deer could lead to declines in this marginal moose population ...

Why we age

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 911-925, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Three categories of explanations exist for why we age: mechanistic theories, which omit reference to evolutionary forces; weakening force of selection theories, which posit that barriers exist that prevent evolutionary forces from optimising fitness in ageing; and optimisation theories, which posit that evolutionary forces actually select for ...

Assessing the Ecological Network of Svalbard Through Scaled Interaction Strength Data: Insights From a Century of Research

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
In this work, we integrate existing knowledge on interaction strengths into a conceptual model of the Svalbard Ecological Network. We also highlight current knowledge gaps and challenges in establishing a robust baseline of species interactions in the region.
