Effects of Different Combinations of Sterile and Fertile Thaumatotibia leucotreta on Fruit Infestation and Population Growth Rate

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 137-146, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a key phytosanitary pest of citrus in South Africa. The pest damages fruit by burrowing and feeding on the pulp, thus causing yield losses and export rejections. There are several T. leucotreta management strategies, such as orchard sanitation, mating disruption, attract‐and‐kill,

Large‐Scale Integrative Taxonomy of the Smallest Insects Reveals Astonishing Temperate Diversity (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Mymaridae)

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 24, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Fairyflies (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Mymaridae) are a diverse but taxonomically understudied group of parasitoid wasps that attack the eggs of other insects. Being among the very smallest of all insects, they are often ignored in biodiversity surveys despite being one of the most abundant microhymenoptera in many habitats.

The sentinel approach to quantify ecosystem function intensities

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2305-2317, October 2025.
Abstract Biodiversity, through species interactions, underpins numerous ecosystem functions that can lead to ecosystem services and disservices. Quantifying these functions is crucial for evaluating the effectiveness of conservation and management strategies, as well as the impacts of land use change.
