Disruption of Fatty Acid Desaturase Gene Alters Aphid Resistance and Volatile Emissions in Sorghum

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Jasmonic acid (JA)‐deficient msd3 sorghum mutants exhibit contrasting resistance phenotypes against sugarcane aphids (SCA; Melanaphis sacchari), which promotes aphid settling at early time points while providing antibiosis‐mediated resistance at later stages. Here we investigated the physiological, hormonal, and metabolic mechanisms underlying

Glyphosate residues in soil alter herbivore‐induced plant volatiles and affect predatory insect behaviour

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Herbicide residues in soil disrupt plant–insect signalling, reducing the effectiveness of biological pest control. Abstract Plants under herbivore attack emit distinct blends of herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) which serve as signalling cues for predatory insects.

Life‐Stage–Specific Hematological Profiles in Yellow Mealworm Beetles (Tenebrio molitor): Reference Intervals and Hemocyte Characterization

open access: yesVeterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The edible insect industry, driven by the nutritional and environmental benefits of mealworms, faces increasing challenges from pathogens affecting Tenebrio molitor farming systems. Hemocyte‐based health assessments could provide valuable diagnostic insights, yet standardized hemolymph processing protocols and hematological ...

Garlic‐Derived Behavioural Deterrents: Diallyl Disulfide and TrpA1‐Mediated Suppression of Insect Reproduction

open access: yesModern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 2, December 2026.
Garlic‐derived diallyl disulfide acts as a behavioural deterrent that suppresses insect mating and oviposition through sensory pathways. The compound is detected through gustatory mechanisms involving the transient receptor potential A1 (TrpA1) channel and neural responses.

Geographical proliferation of ongoing novel host use by the herbivorous ladybird beetle Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

open access: yesEntomological Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, December 2026.
The geographical extent of occurrence of the Solanaceae‐feeding Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata on the novel fabaceous host Centrosema molle and the ability of larvae from several beetle populations to develop on C. molle were investigated to depict the incipient phase in the speciation continuum of herbivorous ladybird beetles.

Uncovering the Diversity of Mesostoinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae): A Glimpse Into the Australian Fauna Through a Study of Kangaroo Island

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The Mesostoinae are a poorly understood braconid subfamily with unresolved morphological challenges and a complex taxonomic history. This study provides insight into the biodiversity of this subfamily on Kangaroo Island (KI), South Australia.
