Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 137-146, March 2026.ABSTRACT Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a key phytosanitary pest of citrus in South Africa. The pest damages fruit by burrowing and feeding on the pulp, thus causing yield losses and export rejections. There are several T. leucotreta management strategies, such as orchard sanitation, mating disruption, attract‐and‐kill,

A carboxylesterase, Esterase-6, modulates sensory physiological and behavioral response dynamics to pheromone in Drosophila [PDF]
, 2012 Conclusions: Our study presents evidence that Est-6 plays a role in the physiological and behavioral dynamics of sex pheromone response in Drosophila males and supports a role of Est-6 as an odorant-degrading enzyme (ODE) in male antennae.

Ips acuminatus (Gyllenhal) in the Czech Republic: Flight dynamics and adult population structure
Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 136-146, March 2026.Ips acuminatus exhibits a univoltine life cycle in Central Europe and no full second generation in midsummer. The sex ratio shifts from male‐biased in spring to slightly female‐biased with the season, with over 90% of females mated. Among the pheromone lures tested, the ACP was most attractive, and combining ACP and PH lures could be used for effective

Modeling stratified dispersal in forest pests: A case study of the mountain pine beetle in Alberta
Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Forest pests pose critical threats to forest ecosystems worldwide, yet accurately predicting their spatial spread remains challenging due to complex dispersal behaviors, weather effects, and the inherent difficulty of tracking small organisms across large landscapes.

Research on Three‐Dimensional Autonomous Obstacle Avoidance Path Planning Methods for UAVs
Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies, Volume 37, Issue 2, February 2026.This study presents a three‐dimensional autonomous obstacle‐avoidance path planning method for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) based on a deep reinforcement learning (DRL)‐enhanced Mayfly Algorithm. The traditional Mayfly Algorithm suffers from issues such as random initial population generation and slow convergence.
