Glyphosate residues in soil alter herbivore‐induced plant volatiles and affect predatory insect behaviour

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Herbicide residues in soil disrupt plant–insect signalling, reducing the effectiveness of biological pest control. Abstract Plants under herbivore attack emit distinct blends of herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) which serve as signalling cues for predatory insects.

Population Dynamics of Greenhouse Thrips (Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis) on Avocado Under Single and Combined Predator Releases

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
The greenhouse thrips, Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis (Bouché, 1833), is an important avocado pest in New Zealand, where repeated infestations reduce leaf quality and tree vigour. To assess biological control stability under different predator assemblages, this study evaluated thrips population dynamics and predator survival across two sequential phases ...

Investigating the Possibility of Wolbachia‐ and Cardinium‐Induced Parthenogenesis in Two Mite Species

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
In arthropods, thelytokous parthenogenesis, in which females develop from unfertilised eggs, is often associated with reproductive manipulation by endosymbiotic bacteria such as Wolbachia and Cardinium. This study investigated whether thelytokous parthenogenesis in two mite species, Amblyseius herbicolus (Phytoseiidae) and Czenspinskia ...

Environmental and Chemical Factors Determining the Structure of Leaf Litter Sporulating Conidial Fungi Communities in Two Preserved Areas of Brazilian Atlantic Forest

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
The Brazilian Northeast shelters fragments of the Atlantic Forest that, although historically under‐sampled, are home to a high diversity of organisms. In this context, conidial fungi are crucial for ecological balance, standing out for their role in the decomposition of organic matter and nutrient cycling.
