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

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
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,

Vegetal residue‐based formulation of Trichoderma ossianense, a new indigenous vineyard species adapted to alkaline pH with potential biocontrol ability against Black‐foot disease pathogens

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 2910-2924, April 2026.
The study identifies Trichoderma ossianense, was can be isolated from grapevine roots, is capable of growing at alkaline pH and controls black‐foot pathogens, highlighting the vegetal residue‐based formulations that preserve its viability. Abstract BACKGROUND Fungi of the Trichoderma genus are used in vineyards as biological control agents mainly ...

Local canopy cover, shade tree identity and landscape tree cover shape leaf‐cutter ant nest density and herbivory in cacao agroforestry systems

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
Our findings provide practical guidance for agroforestry management by demonstrating that intercropping with selected species can mitigate damage from leaf‐cutter ants in cacao agroforests. At the landscape scale, high tree cover was associated with low herbivory rates, emphasising the need to maintain or restore forested habitats.

Surveillance of ash trees under multiple threats: Integrating emerald ash borer and ash dieback dynamics with stakeholder behaviour

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.
Tree‐health policies must balance identifying likely entry points and deployment of traps, targeted information campaigns and surveillance subsidies for land managers. Our unique, cross‐disciplinary approach can be applied to other pest/pathogen systems to inform tree‐health plans and how to balance resources.

Pests for Dinner: Dietary Composition of Insectivorous Bats in a Fragmented Tropical Dry Forest

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Insectivorous bats are key predators of a wide array of arthropods, including species that act as disease vectors and pests, yet such ecological roles remain poorly studied in tropical regions. In this study, we aimed to describe the diet of five insectivorous bat species from the genera Balantiopteryx, Myotis, Mormoops, and Pteronotus inhabiting a ...

Cicada as a food for mammals: a global review and implications for mammal behaviour and populations

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) are among the most important insect prey for many vertebrate predators, including birds and mammals, owing to their large size and high nutritional value. Although the ecological roles of cicadas as prey for birds have been well documented, the interactions between mammals and cicadas are relatively unknown.

A new phylogeny of Anastrepha (Diptera: Tephritidae) based on nuclear loci obtained by phylogenomic methods

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
We present an extensive phylogenetic analysis, based on 293 nuclear loci and 728 individuals representing 237 species of Anastrepha, the largest and most economically important New World genus of Tephritidae. The analysis strongly supports the monophyly of most Anastrepha species groups, also revealing previously unknown relationships among species and
