High β‐diversity in fig wasp communities driven by species turnover in widely distributed Neotropical fig trees

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.
Wasp communities associated with fig trees, Ficus spp., are a model system to investigate how local and regional processes shape biodiversity across large geographical ranges. We investigated the β‐diversity of fig wasp assemblages associated with three widely distributed Neotropical fig species – F. citrifolia, F. obtusifolia and F. pertusa – using 27

Economic analysis of using exclusion netting for spotted‐wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) management in organic blueberry production systems

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 1302-1318, February 2026.
This study compares the economic performance of exclusion netting and organic pesticides for managing spotted wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii). Results highlight the trade‐offs in revenue and cost, providing insights into sustainable pest management strategies that balance economic viability and effectiveness for small fruit growers.

A primary survey of aphid species on almond and peach, and natural enemies of Brachycaudus amygdalinus in As-Sweida, Southern Syria [PDF]

, 2008
Syria is one of the biggest almond producer country in the world. Few arthropdes that live on almond are consider as pests. Aphids are one of the major pests their.

Leaf‐chewing but not sap‐feeding herbivores create soil legacies that shape plant resistance through trait‐mediated, guild‐specific effects in Baccharis salicifolia

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 486-500, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivory can affect the soil microbiome, creating legacies that affect plant resistance, but how these effects vary by feeding guild and the plant traits involved remain underexplored. We tested how soil legacies created by a leaf‐chewing caterpillar (Spodoptera exigua)

Oviposition and larval establishment of three ‘generalist’ noctuids on Capsicum annuum

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Understanding the oviposition and foraging behaviour of pestiferous lepidopterans on their economically important food plants guides the development of effective pest management tactics. Here, we examined the oviposition behaviour and larval establishment of three noctuid species on a single crop—capsicum (Capsicum annuum).

The role of tropical forest fragment vegetation in maintaining arthropod diversity and spillover to adjacent sugarcane fields O papel da vegetação de fragmentos de floresta tropical na manutenção da diversidade de artrópodes e na sua disseminação para campos de cana‐de‐açúcar adjacentes

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 82-93, February 2026.
Tree diversity increases arthropod richness and the abundance of beneficial arthropod groups within Atlantic Forest fragments. Higher insect richness in forest fragments is associated with greater richness in adjacent sugarcane fields, and both habitats share insect families, suggesting spillover.

Water stress, root herbivory and above-ground multitrophic interactions in a crucifer-aphid system

, 2011
Plants, insect herbivores and their natural enemies interact in multitrophic food webs that can be influenced by various stress factors. The aim of the present study was to understand the effects of two different below-ground stress factors (drought and ...

Potential climate warming effects on the distribution of an invasive alien pest species

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 113-125, February 2026.
Drosophila suzukii (SWD) has low resistance to heat waves. The incidence of SWD differed between Illyric‐ and Pannonian climate zone. Desert days (frequency) only increased in the Pannonian zone. Abstract Climate warming can be a powerful driver for the establishment and further spread of alien species by lowering the abiotic resistance of native ...
