Ecological Niche Adaptations Influence Transposable Element Dynamics in Pollinating and Non‐Pollinating Fig Wasps

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
The influence of ecological niches on transposable element (TE) dynamics, particularly in mutualistic relationships, remains understudied. This research reveals that non‐pollinating fig wasps (NPFWs) have “aggressive,” expansion‐driven TE landscapes with active insertions, contrasting with the stable, “dormant” TE profiles in pollinators.

High Temporal Beta‐Diversity of Pollinators in Early Successional Forests After Windthrow

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
We described the temporal dynamics of vascular plants and pollinating insects by sampling the same windthrow sites after 3 and 5 years from a major storm event in the Italian Alps. Pollinator communities exhibited high temporal β‐diversity, while the understory plant community changed the least.

Parasitoid Wasp Inostemma striaticornu Bu hl (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) in Crops of Bell Pepper in Argentina

open access: yesActa Zoológica Lilloana, 2018
Some species of the genus Inostemma have been recorded in pests associ- ated with numerous botanical families, the current work records the presence of the men- tioned parasitoid in an area of high plant diversity in La Plata, Argentina.

Encapsulation and Melanization Are Not Correlated to Successful Immune Defense Against Parasitoid Wasps in Drosophila melanogaster

open access: yesCells
Parasitoid elimination in Drosophila melanogaster involves special hemocytes, called lamellocytes, which encapsulate the eggs or larvae of the parasitoid wasps. The capsules are melanized, and metabolites of the melanization reaction may play a potential

Impact of Short‐Term High Temperature on Microplitis manilae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) Survival, Fecundity and Progeny Development

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
This study reveals the effects of short‐term high‐temperature stress on the survival, reproduction, and progeny development of M. manilae. It provides a theoretical basis for understanding the biological evolution mechanism of M. manilae in response to thermal stress and the biological control of pests by M.

How urban proximity shapes agricultural pest dynamics: a review

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 6, Page 2704-2711, June 2025.
This review explores how proximity to human settlements affects agricultural pest and pathogen dynamics, highlighting the roles of microclimatic conditions, biological aspects, and management effects. It underscores the need for integrated pest management strategies to address these complex interactions and enhance sustainable agriculture.
