Active predators do not necessarily specialize in sedentary prey: A simulation model
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.Active predators, which move to find food, are assumed to specialize in sedentary prey. This study used an individual‐based simulation to test whether this assumption holds. The results show that active predators do not always specialize in sedentary prey; instead, prey choice greatly depends on prey spatial pattern and competition with ambush ...

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT With climate change, abiotic and biotic stresses such as drought and herbivory are predicted to further diminish agricultural productivity. Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merrill), a crop of global economic importance, is vulnerable to both. However, the interactive effects of drought and herbivory on soybeans haven't been explored, especially ...

Staged ecologies: Aesthetics, nature and infrastructure in the late‐modern metropolis
Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, EarlyView.Short Abstract This paper examines the relationship between urban nature and landscape design within a £1.5 billion regeneration project that is currently unfolding in Thamesmead, a town in south‐east London. It develops the notion of ‘staged ecologies’ to examine how urban nature is being spatially and aesthetically arranged across the town's ...

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 7, Page 3565-3572, July 2025.The addition of 10 μg cm−2 of Cry1Ac to the surface of GS‐omega/kappa‐Hxtx‐Hv1a (ω/κ‐Hv1a) incorporated diet can significantly increase the mortality of Cry‐resistant Helicoverpa zea compared to diets without the Cry1Ac toxin. Abstract BACKGROUND Helicoverpa zea and Spodoptera frugiperda are destructive insect pests of cotton and corn.

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 7, Page 4004-4015, July 2025.Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are virulent against multiple life stages of Aethina tumida in the laboratory. EPNs significantly reduce adult emergence in natural and autoclaved sterile soil under semi‐field glasshouse conditions. Abstract BACKGROUND The small hive beetle (SHB; Aethina tumida) is a significant pest affecting honey bees and the ...

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 5, July 2025.Abstract Despite recent advances in high‐throughput DNA sequencing technologies, a lack of locally relevant DNA reference databases limits the potential for DNA‐based monitoring of biodiversity for conservation and biosecurity applications. Museums and national collections represent a compelling source of authoritatively identified genetic material for

Plant–arthropod associations in custard apples, genus Annona: A global perspective
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 7, Page 651-660, July 2025.Annona species, commonly known as custard apples, engage with a wide range of arthropods, including both herbivores and pollinators, which shape their ecology. These plants produce secondary metabolites that may serve as natural defenses against pests.
