Is Nocturnal Pollination Important for Crop Production? Experimental Evidence From Small Fruit Crops
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 147-157, March 2026.ABSTRACT Insect‐mediated pollination is essential for crop production but is mainly studied considering diurnal pollinators only. Here, we use pollinator exclusion techniques to prevent either diurnal or nocturnal insect visits in small fruit crops: raspberry (Rubus idaeus), over 1 year, and red currant (Ribes rubrum) and black currant (Ribes nigrum ...

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 49-60, February 2026.Abstract Wood boring ambrosia beetles play a central role in the spread of Ceratocystis wilt of ‘ōhi‘a, a fungal disease caused by Ceratocystis lukuohia that kills the bioculturally important ‘ōhiʻa (Metrosideros polymorpha) tree. Beetles contribute to the spread of the disease by extruding fungus‐infected wood particles (frass). Disease mitigation can
