Autumn inversion tillage reduces beneficial arthropods and delays their recovery into the following crop growing season

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Responses to tillage were taxon‐specific and likely depended on life‐stage and the dependency on structural habitat complexity. Management should balance trade‐offs between retaining local communities, meeting the needs of multiple taxa, and accounting for taxonomic and functional richness over time.

Do field margins matter more than floral resources? Arthropod activity and limited spillover of natural enemies from perennial flower strips into adjacent crops

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Both flower and grass strips supported significantly higher arthropod activity than adjacent crop fields, underlining the general ecological value of field margins regardless of floral composition. The observed group‐specific responses emphasize the need for taxa‐specific analyses within heterogeneous functional groups, rather than relying solely on ...

Aerial movements of mites in almonds: Implications for pest management

open access: yesCalifornia Agriculture, 1984
Not available – first paragraph follows: Spider mites and predatory mites can live all year on deciduous trees and vines. During the growing season they colonize the foliage, and during winter they overwinter under bark and in crevices in a state of ...

Molecular Phylogenetic Reassessment of the Superfamily Eriophyoidea (Arachnida: Acari) Based on COI and 18S rRNA

open access: yesEntomological Research, Volume 56, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Gall mites (superfamily Eriophyoidea) are highly specialized phytophagous arthropods with extreme host plant specificity and marked morphological diversity. Despite extensive taxonomic and molecular research, phylogenetic relationships within the superfamily remain unresolved, largely due to persistent polyphyly among several families.

‘EINEN FILM DREHEN’: TECHNOPOLITICAL TURNS AND THE RENDERING OPERATIONAL OF SUBJECTIVITY IN FAROCKI'S LEBEN–BRD (1990) AND PETZOLD'S BARBARA (2012)

open access: yesGerman Life and Letters, Volume 79, Issue 3, Page 396-418, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This article analyses the ‘Gestus’ of turning in films by Harun Farocki and Christian Petzold, in light of a central claim of Andrew Webber's esteemed theoretical work on film: that film has the power to uncover unconscious processes through which subjects come into being and are made operational for political regimes.

Hairy Roadblock: Stem Trichomes Impede Herbivore Movement in a Species and Instar‐Dependent Manner

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 728-735, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Plants have evolved to deploy a vast set of defence mechanisms against insect herbivores, including physical barriers like leaf trichomes with pre and post ingestive effects. Yet, the role of stem trichomes in plant‐herbivore interactions, particularly mobility dynamics, is poorly understood.

Drought and Herbivory Drive Physiological and Phytohormonal Changes in Soybean (Glycine max Merril): Insights From a Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 4041-4053, July 2026.
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 ...
