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

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 1, Page 46-55, February 2026.ABSTRACT The Japanese beetle (JB) Popillia japonica (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) has been a significant invasive pest for over a century in North America. Several studies have reported that plants under direct sunlight are preferred and trap colour affects the number of beetles captured, indicating that visual stimuli influence JB behaviour. Despite this,

A male-produced aggregation-sex pheromone of the beetle Arhopalus rusticus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae, Spondylinae) may be useful in managing this invasive species. [PDF]
, 2019 The longhorned beetle Arhopalus rusticus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae, Spondylinae) is a common species in conifer forests of the Northern Hemisphere, but with global trade, it has invaded and become established in New Zealand, Australia, and South America.

The Sensory Ecology of Tsetse Flies: Neuroscience Perspectives on a Disease Vector
European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 63, Issue 2, January 2026.Tsetse flies (Glossina sp.) are important disease vectors that feed on vertebrate blood. Host‐seeking depends on a combination of sensory systems, from long‐range senses like olfaction and vision, to shorter‐range senses such as audition, mechanosensation, thermosensation and taste.
