Hop Optimal Irrigation Trial [PDF]
, 2016 Hops reportedly use about 610 to 715 mm (24 to 28 inches) of water per year (Evans 2003). Rainfall can contribute to this total, however, due to climatic variability, it is important that hops are irrigated regularly to combat moisture stress.

Spider Mites: Genetic Models to Inform Herbivore and Chelicerate Biology
BioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 5, May 2026.Chelicerates include spiders, scorpions and ticks, and also spider mites that damage crops. Many of the features that make spider mites crop pests have facilitated their adoption as genetically tractable chelicerates. The expanding genetic toolkit developed using spider mites has potential to inform genetic studies in other chelicerates as well ...

Augmentative biological control of twospotted spider mite on hops in the Midwest [PDF]
, 2018 The twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae is a key pest on hops, affecting the quality and quantity of yield. Hop production is a new industry in the midwestern USA, and little is known about mite management in this region. During 2016, a trial was

Effects of Alternative Prey Density on Cannibalism in Adult Female Neoseiulus californicus
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Using two strains of N. californicus—TU (reared long‐term on T. urticae) and OB (reared long‐term on O. bakeri)—this study demonstrated that although alternative prey density had no significant effect on cannibalism, both rearing strain and conspecific life stage significantly influenced cannibalistic behavior, with a significant interaction between ...

Evolution of Peripheral Visual System in the Apoidea: A Role for Food Item Mobility?
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Since larger compound eyes and ocelli altogether improve vision, one may expect that insects specialised in chasing very mobile resources possess such morphological optimisation. By analysing 77 species of bees and wasps, we have found that wasps had larger eyes, but not larger ocelli, than bees.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Using feral pigeons in urban environments, we show that microbiome diversity and composition vary seasonally despite stable diet composition. ABSTRACT Gut microbiomes play a crucial role in host physiology and seasonal adaptation. While seasonal shifts in avian gut microbiota are often attributed to seasonal diet variation, environmental factors may be

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.Low intensities of warm white ALAN were a stronger inhibitor of diapause initiation than urban warming, indicating that changes in brightness or light colour may not be sufficient to mitigate ecological impacts and ALAN from common sources can extend seasonal mosquito biting activity and reproduction into late autumn.

Hop Pest Scouting Report [PDF]
, 2015 During the 2015 growing season, the major pest challenges we encountered at the hopyard at the Borderview Research Farm in Alburgh, Vermont were potato leafhopper (Empoasca fabae), and hop downy mildew (Pseudoperonospora humuli), as well as a few ...
