The Potential for Pest Management Using Plant‐Derived Signaling Compounds

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
Plant‐derived signaling compounds mediate ecological interactions among plants, herbivores, their natural enemies, and neighboring plants. This graphical summary highlights three approaches to leveraging such ecological interactions for environmentally benign pest management: (1) Recruitment of natural enemies: Using herbivory‐induced plant volatiles ...

Quaternary Climatic Changes and Biogeographic Barriers Drove Codiversification in the Obligate Mutualism Between Camponotus laevigatus and Its Endosymbiont Blochmanniella

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
In this study, we examined the codiversification and phylogeography of Camponotus laevigatus and its obligate endosymbiont Blochmanniella using a population genomic approach. Using whole‐genome sequencing, we identified three phylogeographic clusters with congruent host‐endosymbiont phylogenies, significant isolation‐by‐distance, and Pleistocene ...

Forage Plant Host and Early Feeding Choices Affect Spodoptera litura Feeding, Development and Egg‐Laying

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 670-684, July 2026.
We assessed Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) performance on five common pasture plant species. Larvae consumed more dock, plantain and chicory per day than red or white clover, but with lower conversion efficiencies. Feeding on red clover reduced weights and egg laying, and lengthened development times compared with plantain.

Mycoviruses as Biocontrol Agents: Potential Applications for Managing Pests and Diseases of Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus)

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Oilseed rape (Brassica napus) production faces a wide range of biotic threats. Pests typically pose a greater threat than diseases to oilseed rape, yet both vary considerably across the major cultivating regions. Management strategies often rely heavily on the use of chemical pesticides which may have harmful effects on the environment, thus ...
