Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.To reduce reliance on synthetic pesticides and improve planting‐stock quality, nursery managers may consider integrating perennial flowering strips into inter‐rows, particularly under comparable pine nursery conditions. This nature‐based intervention was associated with reduced sap‐sucking pest pressure, probably mediated by increased natural enemy ...

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1633-1648, August 2026.This study investigated the dietary composition of Sycanus bifidus, a generalist predator of the assassin bug that is artificially released into citrus orchards, and uncovered its trophic structure across various pest species using metabarcoding‐based molecular gut content analysis.

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1256-1284, August 2026.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1663-1674, August 2026.Aphids pose a serious risk to horticultural crops. Current biocontrol strategies often fail due to the poor establishment of natural enemies when aphids are scarce. We evaluated the potential of two aphidophagous predators, Micromus variegatus and Scymnus interruptus, to be used as preventive biocontrol agents, released before aphid infestation.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 831-841, August 2026.Orius laevigatus engages in unidirectional intraguild predation on Transeius montdorensis. Despite this, both predators coexisted and suppressed the shared thrips prey. Aphids, a non‐shared prey, were effectively controlled by O. laevigatus even when its population was limited due to intraguild predation. T.

The Biodiversity of Retreating Glaciers Leaves an Ecological Legacy in Emerging Soil Communities
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.We provide the first multi‐taxa assessment of biodiversity transitions across the supraglacial‐proglacial interface, using eDNA metabarcoding across five glacier systems. Recently deglaciated soils resemble supraglacial communities taxonomically and functionally, markedly for microbes and weakly for animals, with microbial similarity declining rapidly ...

Terrestrial Arthropod Responses to Arctic Cryosphere Degradation
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.Changes in Arctic snow and ice are impacting terrestrial arthropods—for example, thinner snowpacks alter phenological synchrony and soil fauna survival; thawing permafrost increases decomposition, and glacial ice loss leads to the disappearance of adapted specialists; sea ice decline will have many indirect impacts for arthropods.
