Spatial, Temporal, and Host‐Specificity Patterns of Three Genera of Blood Coccidian Parasites in Two Syntopic Mediterranean Lizards

Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 69-78, January 2026.
Our results indicated that the three genera of blood parasites found in the two species of lizards studied can exhibit distinct epidemiological patterns across microgeographic and temporal scales. ABSTRACT We investigated the phenological variation of three genera of blood parasites of lizards (Schellackia, Karyolysus, and Lankesterella) using samples ...

Influence of environment and cultural practices on spider mite abundance in Southern San Joaquin Thompson seedles vineyards

California Agriculture, 1971
Taking advantage of predator populations, alternate prey species, grass cover, and sprinkler irrigation may all contribute to successful control of spider mite populations in raisin vineyards of the San Joaquin Valley.

Selective vs. Broad-Spectrum Pesticides: When Do Private Decisions Differ from Socially Optimal Decisions? [PDF]

This paper examines the spatial externalities of conventional and organic pest control methods to determine if, and how, the two types affect each other. These interactions make the problem more complicated than the usual analysis of a single externality.

The association of Mediterranean plant species with herbivorous arthropods and its effect on pest abundance in organic vineyards

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 1, Page 369-385, January 2026.
We determined the associations of native Mediterranean plant species located around organic vineyards with species of Auchenorrhyncha and phytophagous tetranychid and tenuipalpid mites, including important vineyard pests: Jacobiasca lybica and Tetranychus urticae.

Epilithic Algal and Meiofaunal Assemblages of Arctic/Alpine Lakes and Streams Along Latitudinal and Environmental Gradients in Scandinavia

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Epilithic biofilms along a latitudinal gradient of Arctic/alpine lakes and streams were analysed for their composition of algae (incl. cyanobacteria) and meiofaunal assemblages and correlated these with environmental variables. The composition of algal, meiofauna and nematode assemblages differed between lakes and streams.

Population dynamics and trophic interactions between Oligonychus afrasiaticus (Acari: Tetranychidae) and its predator Stethorus punctillum (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) on date palms in the north-eastern Algerian Sahara

Persian Journal of Acarology
Drought is causing Algerian palm groves to suffer an increase in date palm acariasis, which is caused by the mite Oligonychus afrasiaticus (McGregor, 1939).

Alone no more—Integrative taxonomy of New Zealand odd‐clawed spiders challenges the monotypy of Pianoa and Gradungula (Araneae: Gradungulidae)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
Taxonomic revision of New Zealand Gradungulidae reveals unexpected northern South Island diversity through integrated molecular phylogenetics and targeted field sampling. Two new species formally described — Gradungula kahurangi sp. nov. and Pianoa civis sp. nov. — with revised male genitalia diagnoses for all three New Zealand genera.
