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 ...

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.We investigated maternal effects in Schizotetranychus brevisetosus (Tetranychidae), where females oviposit summer and winter eggs in response to photoperiod on evergreen hosts. Developmental rates of immature individuals increased linearly from 15°C to 35°C, but winter and summer eggs developed faster at low and high temperatures, respectively ...

An asset‐based model for fieldwork training workshops
Natural Sciences Education, Volume 55, Issue 1, June 2026.Abstract Although conducting fieldwork is common for environmental scientists, not everyone feels welcomed or valued in field settings. This can result from a range of social and interpersonal challenges, including implicit bias, power dynamics, communication barriers, and mismatched expectations within research teams.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 6, Page 559-569, June 2026.Predation pressure varies vertically, with highest arthropod predation in the understory and highest bird predation in the canopy. Light availability differs across vertical strata, but predation patterns are more strongly influenced by height and forest structure than by light gradients.

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 260-267, June 2026.Arboviral diseases spread by Culicoides biting midges have been introduced into Europe by unknown means. A possible route is the carriage of midges with cut flowers shipped to flower markets. We sampled Culicoides in and around a cut flower farm in Kenya; midges were caught in the vicinity and a greenhouse, but not where flowers are processed.
