Aphid parasitism alters induced plant responses allowing a hyperparasitoid to locate its hidden parasitoid host

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 2055-2070, February 2026.
Summary Plants typically host insect communities composed of multiple trophic levels that are intricately linked through interactions mediated by the shared food plant. Hyperparasitoids are top‐level carnivores in such systems, preying on parasitoid larvae developing inside herbivores. These hyperparasitoids can dramatically reduce the effectiveness of

Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors

Population Ecology, Volume 68, Issue 1, January 2026.
Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...

A Set of Novel Venom Proteins Enables Parasitoid Wasps to Exploit Older Hosts and Coexist with Competitors

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, 19 January 2026.
This study elucidates a molecular mechanism enabling species coexistence between parasitoid wasps, showing how Asobara japonica uses a set of novel venom proteins to delay host development and exploit older hosts, thereby achieving temporal niche partitioning with Leptopilina drosophilae. Abstract Interspecific competition can drive species coexistence

Amphibian Strategies Against Attacks by Flies: Host‐Specificity and Threats

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Species interactions between Diptera flies and amphibians play a significant role in tropical ecosystems, but their ecology and evolution remain understudied. This review explores the costs flies impose on amphibians, such as pathogen transmission and disruption of communication systems, and highlights the evolutionary strategies employed by both ...
