Effects of bioinsecticide exposure route on aphids and their natural enemies in oilseed rape
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Fatty acids, silicone polymers and surfactants reduced aphid numbers but caused natural enemy mortality under direct exposure, while minimal residual activity suggests potential for targeted, compatible use in integrated pest management. Abstract BACKGROUND Myzus persicae Sulzer and Brevicoryne brassicae L.

ZooKeys, 2023 Species of the potter wasp genus Allorhynchium van der Vecht (Eumeninae: Odynerini) occurring in Vietnam are presented. Seven species have been recorded from Vietnam. Of them, three species are described as new to science: Allorhynchium latum Nguyen, Tran & MT Nguyen, sp. nov., A. moerum Nguyen & AD Nguyen, sp. nov., and A. setosum Nguyen &

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Brain size may be influenced by the cognitive demands of sociality (social brain hypothesis). We used microCT to compare CNS and brain volumes in social versus solitary huntsman and crab spiders. Social huntsman spiders had larger arcuate and mushroom bodies, while social crab spiders had larger visual neuropils.

Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Philosophers often think agency is essentially connected with rationality, intention, or control. However, Minimalists argue that agency is just the power to cause a change; acids and boulders are agents too. Many philosophers treat Minimalism as a wild outlier, assuming its falsity without argument.

Taxonomy of the Indo-Malayan presocial potter wasp genus Calligaster de Saussure (Hymenoptera, Vespidae, Eumeninae) [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2016 The taxonomic history and current taxonomic status of the presocial potter wasp genus Calligaster de Saussure, 1852, at generic and species levels are reviewed. The hitherto-unknown female of Calligaster viridipennis Giordani Soika, 1960, is described based on specimens newly collected in Central and Southeast Sulawesi.

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 8, Page 1088-1101, September 2026.ABSTRACT Flatheaded borers (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) are largely xylophagous insects. Larvae of flatheaded borers tunnel into the trunks of trees, with boring and feeding damage eventually appearing on the surface as discolored bark, sunken areas, bark splits or bark sloughing.

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.Scabiosa trenta Hacq. was first described in 1782 by Balthasar Hacquet, with its specific epithet referring to the Trenta Valley in Slovenia. Since then, S. trenta has been the focus of numerous mountaineering and botanical expeditions, particularly by the alpinist Julius Kugy during the Golden Age of Alpinism, a period in the second half of 19th ...

On the Tropical Nature of an Intense Mediterranean Cyclone in the Ocean‐Atmosphere System
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.Abstract The Mediterranean basin hosts a large number of cyclones every year. Among them, some rare cases named medicanes present similarities with tropical cyclones but their dynamical characteristics are debated. The ocean‐atmosphere dynamics of Medicane Ianos (2020) are studied here through km‐scale fully coupled ocean‐wave‐atmosphere simulations ...

Trapped honey bees reduce floral visitation on milkweed flowers
Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Trapped arthropods have been shown to benefit plants in several ways, but few studies have examined the potential costs of arthropod entanglement. Milkweeds (Asclepias spp.) have an unusual pollination system that requires relatively large packets of pollen (pollinia) to become attached to the appendages of insect pollinators and be pulled ...

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.
