Role of mitochondrial complex I genes in host plant expansion of Bactrocera tau (Tephritidae: Diptera) by CRISPR/Cas9 system

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 147-158, February 2026.
The role of 3 mitochondrial complex I gene in host expansion of Bactrocera tau was verified by CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system. A stable homogenous strain (Btndufa7‐/‐) of B.tau was established after silencing Ndufa7. The reduced size of larvae and pupae of Ndufa7 knockout strain was first found.Then different levels of fitness and relative expression ...

A review of non‐native scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Coccoidea) of Australia and the challenges in maintaining current and accurate pest lists

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Over 870 species of scale insects, also called coccoids (infraorder Coccomorpha), have been recorded from Australia. Here, we systematically review literature, databases and collections to provide a revised assessment of non‐native species to Australia, for which we confirm those species that are introduced and extant in Australia (including ...

DNA metabarcoding reveals greater plant diversity than morphological seed analysis of bird feces

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 14, Issue 1, January-February 2026.
Abstract Premise Fruit‐eating birds drive seed dispersal in recovering tropical ecosystems, shaping forest regeneration. Molecular techniques, such as DNA metabarcoding, enable diet analysis from feces and can provide complementary frugivory data where dispersal is infrequent, as well as aid in seed identification in hyper‐diverse regions lacking ...
