Microbial Community Dynamics in Natural Drosophila melanogaster Populations Across Seasons

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2025.
The characterisation of fungal and bacterial communities associated with three field populations of Drosophila melanogaster in Germany revealed consistent but also population‐specific changes across seasons. The seasonal microbiota variation was mostly driven by indicator species of Acetobacteraceae bacteria and Saccharomycetales yeasts.

Unexpected soundscape response to insecticide application in oak forests

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 3, June 2025.
Abstract Rachel Carson's warning of a silent spring directed attention to unwanted side effects of pesticide application. Though her work led to policies restricting insecticide use, various insecticides currently in use affect nontarget organisms and may contribute to population declines.

Selection for zoophagy influences biocontrol efficacy and fruit damage by Dicyphus hesperus in greenhouses

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 6, Page 522-531, June 2025.
Dicyphus hesperus, a zoophytophagous predator, effectively controls Bemisia tabaci in tomato greenhouses. Highly zoophagous lines rapidly reduced whitefly populations without causing significant damage to tomatoes, whereas lowly zoophagous lines were equally efficient over time but caused more damage.

What is the potential for artificial selection of insect biological control traits? A systematic review of their genetic variation, heritability, and evolvability

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 6, Page 463-497, June 2025.
Growing interest in optimizing biocontrol traits, particularly due to Nagoya Protocol constraints, necessitates understanding their heritability and genetic variation. This systematic review of 5209 studies on arthropod biocontrol agents yielded 94 relevant articles, with 42 providing heritability values.

Up High, Hot and Dry: Individual Reproductive Output in Subalpine Bees Declines With Increasing Drought Severity

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 6, June 2025.
Climate change has been linked to widespread changes in the distributions and abundances of many wild bee species; yet, the local‐scale processes that generate these patterns are unclear. From 2013 to 2022, we tracked individual reproductive output (brood cell production) in over 700 solitary female mason bees at seven sites in the Colorado Rocky ...
