Determining Terminal Velocities of Selected Insects and Substitute Materials to Develop Future Test Procedures for Insect‐Friendly Mowing Technology

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 310-320, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Agricultural grasslands are vital habitats for insects that provide key ecosystem services. However, conventional rotary mowers are proposed to cause significant insect mortality due to the high rotational speed of their blades and the resulting airflow.

Potential for the American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) to contribute to biological control in a vegetable agroecosystem

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract The American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) is a native insectivorous amphibian common in agricultural fields in eastern North America. Past research on this and related species suggests potential for positive or negative effects on pest populations, depending on the prevalence of intraguild predation.

Several occurrences of osteomyelitis in dinosaurs from a site in the Bauru Group, Cretaceous of Southeast Brazil

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 3, Page 642-648, March 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the occurrence of osteomyelitis in non‐avian dinosaurs, focusing on the Ibirá locality, a site with a high incidence of this pathological condition. We analyzed six new osteopathic sauropod specimens from the Upper Cretaceous of Brazil.

Consistent Trait Patterns in a Hyper Diverse Moth Clade Along a Western Himalayan Elevational Gradient

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study examines how Geometrid moth assemblages along a 1500‐m elevational gradient in the western Himalayas respond to temperature and air density shifts. While species diversity declines with elevation and turnover occurs from low to high elevations, no significant changes in morphological or flight traits were observed at the assemblage level ...

Genetic Basis of Cuticular Hydrocarbon Variation in the Desert Ant Cataglyphis niger

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) are a ubiquitous component of ant cuticles that are used for a wide range of chemical signaling functions, especially recognition. Here we tested for a genetic basis of CHC variation in the desert ant Cataglyphis niger. We applied a genomic mapping approach to discover associations between CHCs and 20 quantitative trait ...

Precipitation and tree biomass correlate with the diversity and functional composition of tropical rainforest cricket assemblages across climate and disturbance gradients

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
Disturbance‐driven changes in rainforest structure and environmental conditions can alter ecosystem functioning, yet the consequences for invertebrate communities – key contributors to decomposition, herbivory, and trophic interactions – are not fully understood, particularly in relation to structural changes in vegetation.
