Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 780-790, July 2026.ABSTRACT Norway spruce will likely remain an important tree species in Europe over the next few decades despite efforts to transform forests and reduce its distribution range more to its natural range. Consequently, Ips typographus will remain one of the most relevant forest pests the management of which will become increasingly challenging due to ...

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 803-815, July 2026.ABSTRACT The use of insectary plants to provide alternative food and shelter resources for enhancing natural enemy activity has been established as a common practice in IPM. Candidate flowering plant species have been screened and evaluated for their contribution to enhance life parameters of beneficial insects.

Wake Up and Smell the Infected Bees: Volatile Cues of Vairimorpha Infection in Honey Bees
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Infection can modify host volatile emissions, yet effects in adult honey bees remain unexplored. Using dynamic headspace sampling and GC × GC–MS, we show that Vairimorpha spp. infection significantly alters the volatile profile of adult worker honey bees over a 14‐day time series, producing stage‐specific shifts in multivariate odour structure.

Can Herbivore Feeding Preferences Reinforce the Female‐Biased Sex Ratio in an Alpine Willow?
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Sex‐biased herbivory can vary among co‐occurring herbivores and across the season. Sequential herbivory by species with different feeding preferences may influence the population dynamics of dioecious plants, particularly if early‐season herbivory alters plant traits that affect subsequent foraging decisions.
