Plant Phylogenetic History, Not Diversity, Drives Insect Biodiversity Across South Africa's Biomes

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Insects provide essential ecosystem services, but there is a concern that insect abundance is in rapid decline. Identifying trends in insect biodiversity is challenging because we lack baseline data for most biogeographic regions, and most insect species remain undescribed.

A Highly Expressed Odorant Receptor Detects the Aggregation Pheromone Rhynchophorol in the Invasive American Palm Weevil

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Communication via aggregation pheromones is responsible for the behavioural and ecological characteristics of many species of weevils (Coleoptera). In insects, pheromones are detected by specialized odorant receptors (ORs), called pheromone receptors (PRs), which are usually highly expressed in olfactory sensory neurons localized in the ...

Attraction of nocturnal scarab beetles by unusual floral volatiles in a Banksia (Proteaceae) with functionally diverse pollinators

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1454-1466, August 2026.
Banksia attenuata (Proteaceae) attracts nocturnal scarab beetles with an unusual floral scent—the beetles pollinate the flower as they feed on pollen and nectar and mate on the inflorescences. Abstract Pollination by beetles has evolved multiple times in flowering plants but with relatively few plant species adapted specifically to pollination by ...

Entomopathogenic Nematodes for Control of Root Weevils of Citrus

The Florida Entomologist, 1992
The entomopathogenic nematodes, Steinernema carpocapsae (All strain), Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (HP-88 strain), H. bacteriophora (Florida strain), applied to the soil of a citrus grove near Lake Jem, Florida in March 1989, significantly reduced adult emergence of the root weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.).
