Powerful yet challenging: mechanistic niche models for predicting invasive species potential distribution under climate change

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Conned by the enemy: the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae lures and kills Drosophila suzukii

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4595-4606, May 2026.
Highly pathogenic isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae attracted Drosophila suzukii. Identifying the responsible compounds for this attraction could help the development of these isolates for pest monitoring and overall pest management. Abstract BACKGROUND Drosophila suzukii, commonly known as spotted wing drosophila (SWD), is a highly invasive and ...

Molecular Phylogeny and Strain Genotyping of the Bacterial Endosymbiont Wolbachia Associated With Tuta absoluta Populations

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 5, Page 387-397, May 2026.
This study was designed to understand the association between reproductive endosymbiotic bacteria and wild and laboratory‐reared Tuta absoluta populations. The majority of T. absoluta populations showed Wolbachia presence at varying levels of infection, whereas Arsenophonus, Cardinium, and Spiroplasma were not detected. Wolbachia‐positive T.

Enhancing Species Distribution Models by Considering Dispersal Ability

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We designed an experiment using 10 species with varying dispersal abilities, comparing their potential future distributions under realistic dispersal constraints versus assumptions of unlimited dispersal. Our results demonstrate that ignoring dispersal limitations leads to a significant overprediction of suitable habitats.

Effect of beneficial microbes applications on nutritional profiles of organic tomatoes revealed by LC‐MS‐qTOF metabolomics

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 4, Page 2091-2099, 15 March 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND The use of microorganisms and biostimulants is increasingly supported in agriculture because of their advantageous impact on plant disease management, growth enhancement and the synthesis of beneficial bioactive secondary metabolites (SMs). Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is an important crop and is consumed worldwide because it is an

Insecticidal Activity of Trichilia hirta L. (Sapindales: Meliaceae) Extracts Against Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Larvae and the Identification of Bioactive Compounds

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 3, March 2026.
Fruits of Trichilia hirta were extracted and fractionated according to solvent polarity. The resulting partitions were screened for insecticidal activity by evaluating larval mortality and weight after 7 and 14 days. LC‐MS analysis of the most active fraction enabled the annotation of secondary metabolites potentially associated with the observed ...

Whole‐genome sequencing reveals novel ryanodine receptor mutations P4568L and Y4701D conferring high‐level chlorantraniliprole resistance in Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 1, Page 815-824, January 2026.
Whole‐genome sequencing identified novel ryanodine receptor mutations P4568L and Y4701D causing >1000‐fold chlorantraniliprole resistance in Spodoptera litura, enabling development of molecular diagnostics for proactive resistance management. Abstract BACKGROUND Spodoptera litura is a significant insect pest that attacks many agricultural crops ...
