A natural barrier: tick‐repellent potential of a spruce‐derived volatile blend against Hyalomma excavatum and Ixodes ricinus

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 1481-1491, February 2026.
Both active and passive questing ticks, Hyalomma excavatum and Ixodes ricinus, were assessed for behavioural responses to two novel plant‐derived repellent volatile organic compound blends. Both tick species were repelled by the products, and both novo blends were significantly more repellent than currently available commercial products.

Towards scalable insect monitoring: Ultra‐lightweight CNNs as on‐device triggers for insect camera traps

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 357-370, February 2026.
Abstract Camera traps, combined with AI, have emerged to achieve automated, scalable biodiversity monitoring. However, passive infrared (PIR) sensors that typically trigger camera traps are poorly suited for detecting small, fast‐moving ectotherms such as insects. Insects comprise over half of all animal species and are key components of ecosystems and

Attack density negatively affects reproductive success but not fecundity or offspring body size in a bark beetle

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 76-81, February 2026.
Neither gallery length nor eggs per female varied significantly with attack density, suggesting P. proximus adults disregard galleries constructed by conspecifics and continue to lay eggs irrespective of attack density. Number of adult offspring per female decreased significantly as attack density increased, indicating that intraspecific competition ...
