Quantitative synthesis of the effects of drought on community composition and species interactions in terrestrial ecosystems

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Droughts, increasingly frequent under human‐driven climate change, are expected to intensify globally. Both pulsed and prolonged droughts can strongly affect organismal survival and population dynamics, potentially altering terrestrial communities and ecosystems.

Prediction of the Potential Geographical Distribution of the Woolly Whitefly Aleurothrixus floccosus (Maskell) on Sweet Orange

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aleurothrixus floccosus is an exotic pest that poses a serious threat to sweet orange, both through direct and indirect damage. Climate change is one of the most important factors that facilitate the distribution and occurrence of species. We focused on the Ethiopian context because there was no localized data for this invasive pest. Thus, the

Gene‐specific double‐stranded RNAs induce mortality in the South African mealybug Delottococcus aberiae

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 6, Page 5184-5194, June 2026.
Gene‐specific double‐stranded RNAs effectively silence essential genes in the invasive citrus pest Delottococcus aberiae, leading to significant mortality through both microinjection and oral delivery. These results provide proof of concept for RNA interference‐based biopesticides as selective and sustainable tools for citrus integrated pest management.

Colonization and spatiotemporal distribution of bruchid pests in lentil and faba bean fields

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 6, Page 5780-5794, June 2026.
This study of 104 fields identifies Bruchus signaticornis in lentils and B. rufimanus in faba beans as the sole grain‐damaging species. Their uniform distribution within fields and the strong effect of regulatory factors on larvae and egg survival emphasize the need for species‐specific, phenology‐based and spatially informed integrated pest management

Developing together: The elementome and biogeochemical niche of the mutualistic occupants of a fig microcosm

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1836-1849, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In brood‐site pollination mutualisms, where flowers provide nutrition and shelter to pollinator offspring in exchange for pollination, resource allocation to inflorescences is directly related to plant and pollinator fitness.
