Economic analysis of using exclusion netting for spotted‐wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) management in organic blueberry production systems

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 1302-1318, February 2026.
This study compares the economic performance of exclusion netting and organic pesticides for managing spotted wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii). Results highlight the trade‐offs in revenue and cost, providing insights into sustainable pest management strategies that balance economic viability and effectiveness for small fruit growers.

Resistance mechanisms in collard green genotypes to Plutella xylostella: role of physical and morphological traits

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 1974-1984, February 2026.
Resistance to Plutella xylostella in collard greens is mediated by antixenosis and antibiosis, associated with traits such as leaf wax, hardness, and color. Genotypes showed strong resistance potential, supporting their use in breeding and integrated pest management strategies. Abstract BACKGROUND The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera:

Temporal associations between ambrosia beetles and ʻōhiʻa (Metrosideros polymorpha) artificially inoculated with Ceratocystis lukuohia

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 49-60, February 2026.
Abstract Wood boring ambrosia beetles play a central role in the spread of Ceratocystis wilt of ‘ōhi‘a, a fungal disease caused by Ceratocystis lukuohia that kills the bioculturally important ‘ōhiʻa (Metrosideros polymorpha) tree. Beetles contribute to the spread of the disease by extruding fungus‐infected wood particles (frass). Disease mitigation can

Bees feeling the burn

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 279-296, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Fire is a major form of environmental disturbance, and in recent years, due to anthropogenic climate change and anthropogenic land management, we are seeing increases in the frequency and intensity of fires. With bees being an important, diverse group of pollinators that is facing declines globally, understanding how they respond to fires is ...

From beginning to end: the synecology of tree‐killing bark beetles, fungi, and trees

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 314-335, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Over a century of research has revealed an amazing complexity of behaviours and physiological adaptations that allow tiny bark beetles to overcome large trees, sometimes resulting in outbreaks that kill millions of trees. Turning a tree into a home and successfully raising offspring involves constant interactions among the beetles, the tree ...
