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

Journal 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 Have Selective Transgenerational Effects on Soybean Eco‐Physiology, Defence and Fitness

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 4352-4371, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Soybeans, one of the most important legumes, face multiple stresses including drought and herbivory. But the potential transfer of the interactive effects of these stressors onto the transgenerational plants has not been understood. We hypothesised that progeny from stressed parents will have enhanced ecophysiology and defence traits through ...

Do Exotic Versus Native Grasses or Increasing Plant Diversity Affect Larval Development of the Cromwell Chafer Beetle (Prodontria lewisii)?

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
The Cromwell Chafer Beetle (Prodontria lewisii) is an endangered flightless scarab that is extremely vulnerable to extinction because of its small single population at the Cromwell Chafer Beetle Nature Reserve. Captive rearing and translocation are being tested as additional tools to support existing conservation management of this species. To optimize

Beyond the Black Box: Reproductive Strategies of the Black Soldier Fly as a Model for Bridging Evolutionary Biology and Applied Entomology

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The black soldier fly (BSF; Hermetia illucens) is rapidly emerging as a model for evolutionary biology and insect biotechnology. Although larval biology has been extensively characterised, the reproductive biology of adults remains comparatively understudied.

Air pollution and its multifaceted effects on insect pollinators: A review

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 1-17, February 2026.
Air pollution disrupts plant‐pollinator interactions by impairing floral signal transmission, altering foraging behaviour, and reducing pollinator fitness, flight efficiency, reproduction and survival, posing serious threats to ecological stability.

Indirect plant defense may provide economically important pest suppression in sorghum

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 11, Page 7478-7488, November 2025.
Laboratory measures of sorghum direct and indirect plant resistance traits aligned with natural enemy recruitment and pest suppression in the field. Abstract BACKGROUND A promising strategy to optimize biological control of insect pests is selecting crop varieties with indirect defense traits.
