Spatial overlap and temporal synchrony between guilds of insect hosts and parasitoids
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 4, Page 712-726, April 2026.This study identified a spatial overlap between insect host guild richness and parasitoid richness. Species richness in parasitoid guilds always increased later in the season than richness of their host guilds. These findings suggest that shifts in climate and land‐use may alter the synchrony of insect trophic layers.

Insecticide‐level pest control provided by in‐field flower strips
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.Our findings indicate that in‐field flower strips or derived legume‐based intercropping systems can help reduce reliance on pesticide use in agriculture. Abstract Biodiversity in agricultural landscapes has declined significantly due to intensified farming practices, underscoring the need for sustainable pest management.

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract The American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) is a native insectivorous amphibian common in agricultural fields in eastern North America. Past research on this and related species suggests potential for positive or negative effects on pest populations, depending on the prevalence of intraguild predation.
