Optimising the greenhouse cultivation of Lotus japonicus under dimmable LED

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 2, September 2026.
Optimisation of growth conditions for Lotus japonicus ecotypes MG‐20 and Gifu in climate‐controlled greenhouses indicated that L. japonicus produced less flowers and pods under the fluctuating light of mobile LED (location = 5) than under stationary LED (location = 9) and the effect of the light source increased under low ambient light conditions in ...

Alternative Food for Litter‐Inhabiting Predators Decreases Thrips Densities and Above‐Ground Plant Damage

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 9, Page 1126-1134, September 2026.
We studied predatory soil mites that control the thrips Frankliniella occidentalis. Thrips densities were significantly reduced by the predator Cosmolaelaps sabelisi. It presumably feeds on prepupae and pupae in the soil and on larvae aboveground.

Mycorrhiza‐induced resistance against Botrytis cinerea in tomato operates through the systemin signalling cascade

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 6, Page 3522-3539, September 2026.
Prosystemin expression in mycorrhizal plants and comparative analysis of prosystemin and mycorrhiza in induced resistance. Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi enhance plant resistance against necrotrophic fungi by priming jasmonic acid‐dependent defences.

Trade‐offs in thermal response: Schizotetranychus brevisetosus winter eggs outperform summer eggs at low temperatures

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 435-445, September 2026.
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 ...

Functional and Taxonomic Structuring of Ground‐Dwelling Spider Communities Under the Combined Effects of the Environment and Metal Contamination

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Through a field study along a metal contamination gradient, we propose a combined application of taxonomic and functional approaches to study the impacts of contamination on polyphagous predators, spiders. We have demonstrated a significant impact of metal contamination on spider communities, although it operates among a set of variables (e.g ...

Spider mite on walnuts: Promising results obtained with three miticides tested in control experiments in infested walnut orchard at San Jose

open access: yesCalifornia Agriculture, 1957
The most destructive species of spider mites—found in localities where experimental investigations were conducted in 1956—was the European red mite. Infestations of the Pacific spider mite and the two-spotted spider mite were limited and noneconomic.
