Early evolutionary history of the seed

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1511-1553, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

The genome and stage‐specific transcriptomes of the carrot weevil, Listronotus oregonensis, reveal adaptive mechanisms for host specialisation and symbiotic interactions

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 126-138, April 2026.
Comprehensive genome and stage‐specific transcriptomes reveal 14,637 genes in Listronotus oregonensis, advancing genetic insights into a key agricultural pest. Compared with related species, L. oregonensis exhibits reduced chemoreceptor gene families but expanded detoxification gene clusters, reflecting its narrow host range and adaptability.

Antimicrobial activity of the red palm weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus

, 2011
The red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) (Coleoptera Dryophthoridae), is an important pest of palms. Knowl- edge of both its natural enemies and its defensive mechanisms against predators and microorganisms is important to develop methods for an integrated pest control.

Devouring the Invaders: The Racial‐Ecological Politics of the Chinese Crayfish Trade in Kenya

American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 1, Page 183-194, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines entanglements of ecology, race, and foodways at Lake Naivasha in Kenya. Nonnative Louisiana red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), first introduced to Kenya in the 1960s, were once viewed as invasive but are now sought after as a delicacy among Kenya's Chinese community.

Antennal transcriptome sequencing and identification of candidate chemoreceptor proteins from an invasive pest, the American palm weevil, Rhynchophorus palmarum

Scientific Reports, 2021
For decades, the American palm weevil (APW), Rhynchophorus palmarum, has been a threat to coconut and oil palm production in the Americas. It has recently spread towards North America, endangering ornamental palms, and the expanding date palm production.

Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors

Population Ecology, Volume 68, Issue 1, January 2026.
Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...

Automated Red Palm Weevil Detection Using Gorilla Troops Optimizer With Deep Learning Model

IEEE Access, 2023
Red palm weevil (RPW) is a pest that can cause severe damage to plantations and affects palm trees. Classical approaches to detection depend on visual analysis, which is inaccurate and time-consuming. Hence, deep learning techniques emerge as a potential
