Do Exotic Versus Native Grasses or Increasing Plant Diversity Affect Larval Development of the Cromwell Chafer Beetle (Prodontria lewisii)?

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
The Cromwell Chafer Beetle (Prodontria lewisii) is an endangered flightless scarab that is extremely vulnerable to extinction because of its small single population at the Cromwell Chafer Beetle Nature Reserve. Captive rearing and translocation are being tested as additional tools to support existing conservation management of this species. To optimize

Traversing the effects of ploidy changes in different Eragrostis curvula genotypes through high‐throughput RNA sequencing

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Polyploidization has played a key role in plant genome evolution. Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Ness, a perennial forage grass species of the Poaceae family, is an excellent model for investigating genome duplication due to its natural variation in ploidy levels.

Pilliga Ghosts: The Novel Fungi of the Rivers, Creeks, Lakes, and Dams of the Narrabri Region, Australia

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Freshwater systems of the semi‐arid Narrabri region, Australia, are hotspots of novel fungal and eukaryote diversity, dominated by zoosporic fungi and unclassified lineages. ITS‑based DNA and water chemistry analyses across various water bodies revealed strong seasonal patterns, a scarcity of aquatic hyphomycetes that may reflect environmental ...

Potential of the Predatory Mites Gamasellodes lavafesii (Mesostigmata: Ascidae) and Cosmolaelaps mediocuspis (Mesostigmata: Laelapidae) on Different Soil Pests/Parasites and Alternative Prey for Large‐Scale Rearing

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 5, Page 562-572, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Many species of Mesostigmata soil mites have potential as biological control agents of pests/parasites. This study evaluated the predation potential of two of these species, Gamasellodes lavafesii (Ascidae) and Cosmolaelaps mediocuspis (Laelapidae).

Shrubs and trees as natural insect protection for grazing animals in Switzerland and the alpine region: A systematic review of in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials Sträucher und Bäume als natürlicher Insektenschutz für Weidetiere in der Schweiz und im Alpenraum: Eine systematische Literaturübersicht über in vitro‐, in vivo‐ und klinische Studien

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 221-245, June 2026.
Biting or irritating insects are a threat to the health and welfare of grazing animals. This systematic review reveals that several shrubs and bushes growing in the alpine area have insecticidal, insect‐repellent and/or attractant properties. The alder Alnus glutinosa, juniper Juniperus communis, spruce Picea abies and walnut Juglans regia are ...
