The Potential for Pest Management Using Plant‐Derived Signaling Compounds

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
Plant‐derived signaling compounds mediate ecological interactions among plants, herbivores, their natural enemies, and neighboring plants. This graphical summary highlights three approaches to leveraging such ecological interactions for environmentally benign pest management: (1) Recruitment of natural enemies: Using herbivory‐induced plant volatiles ...

Antimicrobial Surfaces for Reusable Food Packaging: A Comprehensive Review of Functionality and Suitability

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT With the recent introduction of the European Union's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) in February 2025, reusable plastic packaging schemes have gained increasing attention as a more circular and sustainable alternative to single‐use plastics (SUPs).

Squash silverleaf disorder and whitefly (Bemisia tabaci MEAM1) infestation: Implications for plant disease management in a changing climate

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 2, September 2026.
Squash Silverleaf Disorder (SLD) is growing in its economic impact due to the invasive behaviour of the silverleaf whitefly (Bemisia tabaci MEAM1). In this review we summarize what is currently known about the whitefly‐squash interaction, how both the disease and the whitefly are being affected by climate change, and discuss current and novel ...

Virulent Parasites Emerge in Hosts With Rising Temperatures

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
Using experimental evolution we explored the short‐term trajectory of parasite evolution—at the phenotypic and genomic scales—across environmentally relevant temperatures in a thermally mismatched host–parasite interaction. Our findings suggest that shifting environmental temperatures will leave phenotypic and genomic signatures on evolving parasites ...

A Pan‐European Whole‐Microbiome Study of Wastewater Influent: Prokaryotes, Protists, Fungi, and Metazoa

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbial communities entering wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) through untreated sewage represent an important interface between human, environmental, and treatment‐associated microbiomes, yet our understanding of their biogeography remains poorly resolved, particularly for microbial eukaryotes.

Widespread Association of Ciliates Colonizing Gills of Shrimps Inhabiting Vents and Seeps Across the Pacific Ocean

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Bacterial symbiosis is well‐documented in chemosynthesis‐based ecosystems, but associations with microeukaryotes remain overlooked. In this study, using scanning electron microscopy and 18S rDNA barcoding, we investigate the presence, diversity, and biogeographic patterns of ciliate epibionts associated with two deep‐sea caridean families ...
