Pollination and plant reproduction in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 74-105, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The Brazilian Cerrado is a continental‐wide biodiversity hotspot and the most species‐rich savanna ecosystem in the world. The main aspect characterising this biodiversity is that the landscape is arranged as an intricate mosaic of different plant formations, including grasslands, savannas, and forests, each harbouring distinct but ...

Air pollution and its multifaceted effects on insect pollinators: A review

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 1-17, February 2026.
Air pollution disrupts plant‐pollinator interactions by impairing floral signal transmission, altering foraging behaviour, and reducing pollinator fitness, flight efficiency, reproduction and survival, posing serious threats to ecological stability.

Vibrational Signals for Mating Disruption Do Not Negatively Affect Grapevine Growth and Production

Australian Journal of Grape and Wine Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Vibrational mating disruption (VMD) is a promising strategy to control Scaphoideus titanus populations in vineyards, and it is based on the prolonged application of a species‐specific disturbance vibrational signal (DVS) on grapevines. Plants can react by different transcriptional, physiological, and morphological changes, according to the source and ...

Microbe‐induced resistance involves priming of direct or indirect defenses according to the stage of herbivory

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 6, Page 3256-3269, December 2025.
Summary Microbe‐induced resistance (MIR) encompasses a broad range of plant responses that mediate both direct and indirect defenses against herbivores. However, previous studies have addressed MIR in relation to either direct or indirect defenses in isolation, overlooking potential conflicts or synergies that may arise between MIR‐elicited defense ...

Observations of tear‐drinking by lepidopterans on moose (Alces americanus americanus) in northeastern North America

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Lepidoptera have long been known to feed on the tears of vertebrates as a presumed source of minerals or nutrients. While this unusual behavior has been observed in a variety of species, only a single previous record has been documented outside of the tropics. Here, we present the first documentation of moths visiting the eyes of a bull moose (

Contribution to the Neotropical Campylochetini: A review of Campylocheta Rondani, 1859 (Diptera: Tachinidae) with new synonyms, three new species and an identification key to Neotropical species

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 4, November 2025.
Abstract The large genus Campylocheta Rondani, 1859, comprising 48 species, occurs in all major biogeographical regions of the world, except Antarctica. Homohypochaeta Townsend, 1927 and Hypochaetopsis Townsend, 1915 are two Neotropical genera similar to Campylocheta, with only two and one species respectively.
