Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 198-210, January 2026.Using extensive Malaise trapping, we collected a high richness of Pimplinae (86 species, 5892 individuals) in habitat types across a successional gradient. We found higher richness in forest than in nearby farmland, highlighting the importance of tropical forest in conserving parasitoid wasp richness.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Insects are highly reliant on chemical cues such as pheromones to facilitate communication and navigation. Some of the roles of pheromones include attracting and finding mates and conspecifics, and in these cases, we expect stabilising selection to dampen within‐population pheromone variation.

Pepino Mosaic Virus: A Globally Important Tomato Pathogen and a Rising Model in Molecular Virology
Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2026.Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV) is a globally important tomato pathogen causing fruit quality losses. It comprises multiple genetic types and spreads via seed and mechanical contact. Lacking resistant cultivars, management relies on cross‐protection. PepMV–tomato interactions provide a valuable model for studying virus–plant molecular mechanisms and ...

Lady Parts and Baby Parts: What Is a Fetus?
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 112, Issue 1, Page 161-174, January 2026.ABSTRACT A common‐sense view of mammalian pregnancy treats the fetus as (a) an organism and (b) co‐extensive with the approximately baby‐shaped entity developing in the uterus. In this paper, I draw on metabolic accounts of the organism to show that (a) and (b) cannot both be correct: either the fetus is not an organism, or it is considerably more ...

Synchrony strategies of six gall inducers that share a superhost, Eugenia copacabanensis (Myrtaceae)
Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 225-239, January 2026.Galling insects on the superhost Eugenia copacabanensis have developed different life cycle strategies to synchronize with plant seasonal changes and avoid competition for resources. Abstract The life cycles of galling insects are synchronized with their host plant phenology, allowing them to better explore available resources.
