Uncertainty Quantification and Attribution for Resilient Infrastructure Systems

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2026.
Infrastructure resilience is critical for maintaining the delivery of essential services to society. However, although computational modelling is integral to infrastructure management, infrastructure model outputs are conditional on a range of uncertain assumptions, both in the present day and under future climate change.

¿Cuándo es plaga? Consideraciones de la condición de plaga de los jabalíes en Cataluña

(Con)textos
Los jabalíes son animales que pueden comprenderse como una plaga por los daños que hacen a la agricultura en muchas partes del mundo. Más allá de algo molesto y dañino, plaga es una condición emergente en la que cualquier criatura humana o no humana ...

CURRENT PERSPECTIVE OF FALL ARMYWORM Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) AND ITS DEVELOPED RESISTANCE TO INSECTICIDES

Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2022
Background. Fall Armyworm (FAW) is one of the most damaging agricultural pests found in Western Hemisphere, and it is now one of the key pests on several crops on America, Africa, Oceania, and Asia; becoming a major threat to food safety in many ...

Artificial exposure to herbivore‐induced volatile organic compounds reduces herbivory and modulates gene expression in potato plants

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
These findings provide strong mechanistic evidence for VOCs mediating pest resistance and suggest that exposure to herbivore‐induced, plant‐derived VOCs can enhance pest resistance in potato crops. These results might offer novel information for developing ecologically sustainable plant volatile‐based strategies for boosting protection against pests in

Efecto de la temperatura y CO2 en el control biológico de Tetranychus urticae por el ácaro generalista Amblyseius swirskii

AIA Avances en Investigación Agropecuaria
Introducción. El calentamiento global, exacerbado por las actividades humanas, tiene consecuencias significativas que incluyen el aumento de la temperatura y los niveles de CO2, que afectan tanto a las plantas como a las plagas.

The Sounds of the Australian Summer: A Continental‐Scale Inventory of Cicada Ecoacoustics

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Australia has a rich cicada fauna, with over 400 described species including some of the loudest‐calling species in the world. The males of each species produce a unique call for attracting females; these calls are invaluable for informing taxonomy and allowing for species‐level identification.

Combined phylogenetic and geographic data can predict plant–pest interactions with high accuracy

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 2107-2123, August 2026.
Schematic overview of the study pipeline. Summary Non‐native plant pests can pose major threats to biodiversity, with destructive ecological and economic consequences. The ability to predict future threats would allow limited resources to be concentrated on managing the most serious risks. We built a Bayesian model to predict hosts at risk from Agrilus,

Biodegradable Natural Polymer‐Based Drug Delivery Systems for Bone Tissue Engineering

Medicinal Research Reviews, Volume 46, Issue 4, Page 966-988, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The increasing incidence of bone diseases and injuries, especially among aging populations, has underscored the shortcomings of traditional treatments such as bone grafts and metal implants, which often face complications including immune rejection, mechanical failure, and delayed healing.

Effects of Forest Cover and Seasonality on Several Faunal Groups in Cattle Ranching Landscapes of Los Tuxtlas, Mexico

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.
Forest cover within cattle ranches can strongly shape faunal biodiversity. In Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, Mexico. We show that butterflies, moths, dung beetles, and birds respond differently to forest cover across habitats (pastures vs. forest fragments) and seasons, as a function of their specialization and resource needs.

Sugar provisioning increases parasitoid numbers in agroecosystems but may not reduce pest densities: A meta‐analysis

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our findings demonstrate that providing sugar sources reliably supports parasitoid populations and parasitism rate but does not systematically translate into improved pest suppression or yield gains. These results suggest that, for economic and practical reasons, sugar inputs at the edge of cultivated fields should be favoured.
