Climate Change Has Already Reshaped North American Forest Pest Dynamics: Insights From Multidecadal Process‐Based Modelling

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 1, March 2026.
Climate change has rapidly expanded and shifted suitable climate conditions for eight major forest pests across North America, especially toward northern and higher elevation areas. Host exposure and overlap among pests are increasing, raising ecological and economic risks, and signaling accelerating future impacts under continued warming.

Potential Drivers of Successful Biocontrol: A Perspective on Parasitoids

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.
Parasitoids are central to classical biological control, yet predicting their long‐term effectiveness post release remains challenging. In Aotearoa New Zealand, three Microctonus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) species have been used against pest weevils, but key aspects of their biology remain poorly understood.

Forgotten Fruit, Infinite Potential: History, Genetics, Cultivation, and Future Perspectives for Feijoa sellowiana

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
Feijoa sellowiana (O. Berg), known as feijoa, is a South American fruit native to southern Brazil and northeastern Uruguay, with agronomic, nutritional, and industrial potential. Once restricted to its native range, the species is now cultivated in New Zealand, Colombia, and Georgia, where breeding programs and market chains are advancing its ...

Bottom–up and top–down drivers influence urbanization effects on insect herbivory in oaks

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
Urban forests provide essential ecosystem services, including pest control, biodiversity conservation, and human health benefits. Herbivory is a widespread biotic interaction that shapes ecosystem functions, such as primary productivity and soil fertility, which underpin these services.

A Modelling Framework to Estimate Vector Dispersal and Disease Spread in an Important Agricultural Pathosystem

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
A model of aphid‐vectored BYDV highlights the importance of the interaction between aphid and viral genetic and species diversity on the risk presented by crop disease. The modelling framework offers a tool to explore vector–virus–host interactions and both conventional and natural controls in a spatial context.
