Behavioral Responses of Two Common Woodland Salamanders to Novel Urban Stimuli

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 6, Page 430-439, June 2026.
We examined behavioral responses of the Eastern Red‐backed Salamander (Plethodon cinereus) and Northern Ravine Salamander (P. electromorphus) to novel urban stimuli. The Northern Ravine Salamander exhibited increased thigmotaxis in the presence of concrete pavers simulating roads and walkways.

Genome and transcriptome‐based identification and expression profiling of chemosensory gene families across developmental stages and tissues in Sirex noctilio (Hymenoptera: Siricidae)

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 270-283, June 2026.
The first draft genome of Sirex noctilio was produced. Fifteen S. noctilio transcriptomes were sequenced to study chemosensory gene expression patterns. SnocOR16 and SnocSNMP1 displayed tissue‐ and sex‐specific expression patterns. Abstract The Sirex woodwasp (Sirex noctilio; Hymenoptera: Siricidae) is among the most destructive invasive pests ...

New Insight Into the Evolutionary Arms Race Between Spider Egg Sac Pseudoparasitoids and Active Maternal Care by the Spiders

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
We analysed various points of the counter‐adaptations of the spider egg sac pseudoparasitoid and spiders exhibiting active maternal care, utilising the ichneumonid Hidryta fusiventris and the wolf spider Pardosa lugubris. We observed that there is a time shift of approximately 1 month between the first egg sac of P.

Body Size Trade‐Offs Underpin Reproductive Success and Thermal Stress Tolerance in an Invasive Pest, the Small Hive Beetle

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Body size differences have widely been observed in adult small hive beetles (Aethina tumida Murray, SHBs), an invasive pest of honey bee colonies. We hypothesized that parental body size influences reproductive performance, progeny fitness, and stress tolerance in SHBs.

Powerful yet challenging: mechanistic niche models for predicting invasive species potential distribution under climate change

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Fine‐Scale Temporal Dynamics of the Honey Bee Hive Microbiome and Foraging Revealed by Airborne eDNA

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Airborne eDNA collected within honey bee hives reveals diverse plant and microbial communities. While richness remains stable, seasonal shifts in plant and microbiome composition highlight dynamic resource use, demonstrating eDNA's potential for non‐invasive, fine‐scale monitoring of foraging and colony health. ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) has the
