Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.Abstract Austrocelis gen. nov. is described based on the following characters: maxillary palpus short and spatulate; setae of the head elongate; face protrudent, with the dorsal portion flattened and oblique, and ventral portion shorter and recessed towards the mouth opening; wing banded, with setae present on dorsal surface of vein R1; surstylus ...

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.ABSTRACT The Australian Crop Mirid (ACM), Sidnia kinbergi Stål (Hemiptera: Miridae), is highly polyphagous and is endemic to Australia. It is widely distributed across Australia and New Zealand and feeds on a wide range of agricultural crops. ACM has traditionally been a pest of forage crops and legumes but has recently emerged as a key pest of several

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.Phylogenetic relatedness of co‐occurring species is often used as a proxy for inferring prior assembly processes. However, this approach ignores the possibility that different phylogenetic lineages may have evolved distinct assembly processes. Here, we directly observed assembly processes through changes in the co‐occurrence patterns of 1770 pairs of ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 598-620, May 2026.In a given number of samples, grassland sward islets contain more species of arthropods than the surrounding sward. When corrected for abundance, there is no difference in species richness, suggesting that the effect of islets might purely be to concentrate arthropods. The community structure differences indicated by non‐metric multidimensional scaling

Growth, Photosynthesis and Root Metabolome Responses to Graded Hypoxia in Contrasting Rice Cultivars
Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 3, May 2026.ABSTRACT Rice is an economically important crop and a staple food for a large proportion of the world's population. Although rice is generally adapted to flooded soils, cultivars may differ in their responses to reduced oxygen availability. Here, we evaluated growth, physiological performance and organ‐specific metabolic profiles of two rice cultivars ...

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 1399-1420, May 2026.Some African Cyphostemma species evolved much larger genomes as they adapted to dry, rocky habitats. These expansions are linked to succulent traits and specialization on nutrient‐rich limestone outcrops. The findings show how climate‐driven aridification shaped plant evolution and highlight broader genome‐environment patterns across flowering plants ...

Local Context Matters: Site‐Dependent Functional and Ecological Responses to Woody Encroachment
Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 3, May/June 2026.We analysed the effects of woody encroachment on plant functional traits, functional diversity indices and ecological and disturbance indicator values in sub‐Mediterranean calcareous grasslands of the northern Iberian Peninsula. Higher woody cover was associated with shifts in community functional strategies and indicator values, as well as with ...

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 9, May 2026.ABSTRACT Soilborne fungal pathogens threaten food security, but limited knowledge of their population biology, including genetic variability and population structure, hinders the development of effective strategies to prevent crop losses. Rhizoctonia solani AG‐1 is a significant soilborne pathogen worldwide, divided into subgroups based on host range ...

Invasive plants optimize leaf nitrogen allocation in photosynthesis
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 3, Page 1522-1534, May 2026.Summary Invasive plants often outcompete co‐occurring native species by expressing acquisitive functional traits that promote high photosynthetic capacity. However, it remains unclear whether these traits are newly evolved in the introduced (‘away’) range or if invaders arrived preadapted with superior traits from their native (‘home’) range.
