When Winters Fail: How Warming Winters Fuel Pest Resurgence and Threaten Food Security

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata, Wiedemann; Diptera: Tephritidae), commonly known as the Medfly, re‐emerged in Mazandaran province, northern Iran—home to an estimated 25% of the nation's fruit crops and approximately 80% of its citrus production—following its apparent eradication in 1984, an outcome consistent with several ...

Fruit‐Piercing Moth Serrodes partita (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) in Soft Citrus: Feeding Behaviour and Damage Patterns for Improved Management in the Eastern Cape, South Africa

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 7, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The fruit‐piercing moth, Serrodes partita (Lepidoptera: Erebidae), is a significant pest of soft citrus in South Africa. The adult moth pierces ripe and ripening fruit, leading to fruit rot. The damage is challenging to detect due to the delayed onset of symptoms. The study investigated the feeding preferences and damage patterns of S. partita

Advancing Fruit Bioimpedance Monitoring With Sustainable, Soft, And Bio‐Based Electrodes Beyond ECG

Advanced Electronic Materials, Volume 12, Issue 18, 21 September 2026.
Electrical impedance spectroscopy enables non‐destructive fruit quality monitoring, but conventional ECG and needle electrodes compromise signal stability, fruit physiology, and sustainability. This perspective highlights the transition toward soft, biocompatible, and biodegradable electrode interfaces based on natural substrates, bio‐derived ...
