Bioactivity Profiling of Coronarin A and Villosin Isolated From Hedychium coronarium J. Koenig: Acaricidal, Nematicidal, and Antifungal Potential

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 4, April 2026.
The graphical abstract illustrates the flowchart for the isolation and evaluation of bioactive compounds from Hedychium coronarium. Crude extracts were obtained via cold percolation from the aerial parts (flowers, leaves, and stems) using dichloromethane (DCM) and from the rhizomes using chloroform.

Standardized Protocols for Soil Fauna Extraction and a Call for Cross‐Lab Implementation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We present harmonized methodologies, assembled by an international group of experts, for extracting soil‐ and litter‐inhabiting nematodes, enchytraeids, microarthropods, and larger invertebrates. The protocols are illustrated with images and videos, and include advice for overcoming the most frequent issues (’expert tips’) for increasing extraction ...

Distinct Morphological Traits of Korean Populations of Pryeria sinica Moore (Lepidoptera: Zygaenidae) Associated With Regional Variation

Entomological Research, Volume 56, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Pryeria sinica Moore is a significant pest of Celastraceae and Pentaphylacaceae plants, causing extensive defoliation in East Asia and beyond. Although its morphological and biological characteristics have been studied in China and Japan, detailed research on the Korean population remains limited.

Soil Biodiversity of Eucalyptus saligna: Insights Into Bacterial and Nematode Communities

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
This exploratory study characterises bacterial and nematode assemblages in the rhizosphere of Eucalyptus saligna plantations in Limpopo, South Africa. High‐throughput sequencing, nematode surveys and multivariate analyses reveal co‐occurrence patterns of soil biota with soil properties, providing a baseline assessment of belowground biodiversity and ...

Requirement of group I lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase for turnover of chitinous cuticle during moulting in two forest pest beetles, Monochamus alternatus and Psacothea hilaris

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 115-125, April 2026.
Group I LPMO15‐1 cDNAs from two economically important forest insect pests, M. alternatus and P. hilaris, were cloned. MaLPMO15‐1 and PhLPMO15‐1 show a similar pattern of expression during late stages of development. RNAi for LPMO15‐1 causes failure of adult eclosion in both M. alternatus and P. hilaris.

How to eradicate an invasive forest pest without clear‐cutting

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.
The results show that selective cutting applied together with modern remote sensing surveillance methods is an environmentally friendly alternative to the mandatory clear‐cutting for PWN control in the EU. Abstract The pine wood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is an invasive species causing high pine mortality in invaded areas outside its ...
