The Effects of LED Daylength Extensions on the Daily Activity Patterns of a Greenhouse Biological Control Agent, Aphidius matricariae

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 5, Page 398-410, May 2026.
We used automated activity monitors to examine how light‐emitting diode illumination affects the daily locomotor activity of the parasitoid biocontrol agent Aphidius matricariae. We compared 4‐ to 20 h broad‐spectrum white (BSW) photoperiods, and 12 h BSW photoperiods extended with an additional 6 h of red‐blue, red‐green‐blue, or BSW light, or no ...

An Easy Method to Sample Headspace Pheromones in the Field

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 5, Page 365-371, May 2026.
Females of the orb‐web spider Argiope bruennichi produces a pheromone to attract males for mating. Most of our knowledge about the pheromone and its strategical use by the females is known from the laboratory. While we have confidence in the validity of these results, we wanted to make sure and measure pheromones in the field.

Beneficial rhizobacteria and virus infection modulate the soybean metabolome and influence the feeding preferences of the virus vector Epilachna varivestis

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 4, Page 2599-2618, May 2026.
Summary Beneficial rhizobacteria and viral pathogens can both alter host plant phenotypes, yet little is known about how their simultaneous presence influences plant metabolism and species interactions. We investigated how two rhizobacteria, Bradyrhizobium japonicum and Delftia acidovorans, together with bean pod mottle virus (BPMV), shape soybean ...

Three Closely Related Spodoptera Species Similarly Affect Gene Expression and Phytohormone Levels but Differentially Induce Volatile Emissions in Maize

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 2394-2412, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Plants can perceive specific elicitors in the oral secretions (OS) of herbivorous insects and respond by increasing their defences. Whether plants can discriminate among similar herbivorous insect species and differentially modulate their defence responses against them is largely unknown.

Restoration tools and strategies for afforested Mediterranean coastal grasslands: is eucalypt removal alone enough to kickstart ecosystem recovery?

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, May 2026.
Abstract Introduction Afforestation with non‐native trees has profoundly altered coastal dune grasslands worldwide, creating persistent ecological legacies that constrain ecosystem recovery. Objectives We evaluated the cost‐effectiveness of two restoration approaches, distinguished by their respective demands for resource investment: Moderately ...
