Characterising Spectral Sensitivity and the Role of Sunlight Intensity in Japanese Beetle (Popillia japonica) Surveillance and Monitoring (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 1, Page 46-55, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The Japanese beetle (JB) Popillia japonica (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) has been a significant invasive pest for over a century in North America. Several studies have reported that plants under direct sunlight are preferred and trap colour affects the number of beetles captured, indicating that visual stimuli influence JB behaviour. Despite this,

Enhancing Hybrid Microgrid Dynamics Using an Agent‐Based Reinforcement Learning (RL) Framework

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 1, Page 144-162, January 2026.
Overview of (RL) framework ABSTRACT Hybrid microgrids, integrating renewable, and conventional energy sources are critical for sustainable and resilient power systems. Their dynamic performance is affected by uncertainties in load demand, generation variability, and control strategies.

Multi‐species productive grasslands offer advantages over permanent grasslands for arthropod conservation, but preserving semi‐natural grasslands remains essential

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
SNGs remain irreplaceable for arthropod conservation, supporting the highest gamma diversity and providing habitat for species sensitive to high LUI. They should be regarded as the cornerstone of arthropod conservation in agricultural landscapes. MSPGs represent an improved alternative to PGs, particularly by enhancing floral resources, although their ...

Enhancement in Performance Metrics for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) Using Hybrid Ant Lion Optimization (HALO) Algorithm

open access: yesJournal of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are constantly confronted with issues including variable quality of service (QoS) metrics, route optimization, and flexible topology. Here, a novel hybrid ant lion optimization (HALO) algorithm is proposed that integrates the cooperative foraging behavior of ant colonies from ant colony optimization and the hunting ...

Commodity risk assessment of Petunia spp. and Calibrachoa spp. unrooted cuttings from Uganda

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to evaluate the likelihood of pest freedom at entry in the EU, including both regulated and non‐regulated pests, potentially associated with unrooted cuttings of the genera Petunia and Calibrachoa produced under physical isolation in Uganda.

Sexual communication in day-flying Lepidoptera with special reference to castniids or 'butterfly-moths' [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Butterflies and moths are subject to different evolutionary pressures that affect several aspects of their behaviour and physiology, particularly sexual communication. Butterflies are day-flying insects (excluding hedylids) whose partner-finding strategy
