A checklist of Ropalidiini wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Polistinae) in Indochina [PDF]

Archives of Biological Sciences, 2014
As a basis for intensive study of the taxonomy and biogeography of Ropalidiini wasps in Indochina (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Polistinae), a checklist of Ropalidiini wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) is presented.

Determining Terminal Velocities of Selected Insects and Substitute Materials to Develop Future Test Procedures for Insect‐Friendly Mowing Technology

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 310-320, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Agricultural grasslands are vital habitats for insects that provide key ecosystem services. However, conventional rotary mowers are proposed to cause significant insect mortality due to the high rotational speed of their blades and the resulting airflow.

Nectários extra-florais de Sapium obovatum (Euphorbiaceae) como recurso alimentar de vespas sociais

Entomological Communications, 2023
Social wasps can feed on a wide variety of animal and plant resources, however, there is little information available in the literature on the use of extra-floral nectaries (EFNs) as a food resource.

Secrets within stems: The cryptic Apodanthes caseariae (Apodanthaceae), a rare neotropical holoendoparasite

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 385-400, March 2026.
Holoendoparasites are extremely rare plants that live entirely hidden inside their hosts, with only flowers and fruits visible. We studied Apodanthes caseariae, found in central and South America, parasitizing Casearia sylvestris. Little is known about its life cycle.

New Allergens Approved by the WHO/IUIS Allergen Nomenclature Sub‐Committee in 2021–2024 and Their Significance for Future Diagnostics, Regulation, and Research. An EAACI Task Force Report

Allergy, Volume 81, Issue 3, Page 684-699, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The WHO/IUIS Allergen Nomenclature Sub‐Committee is an international body of experts that maintains the systematic nomenclature of allergenic proteins by assigning official names to newly identified allergens submitted by researchers. Here, we summarize the data on new allergens approved between 2021 and 2024.

Is Nocturnal Pollination Important for Crop Production? Experimental Evidence From Small Fruit Crops

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 147-157, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Insect‐mediated pollination is essential for crop production but is mainly studied considering diurnal pollinators only. Here, we use pollinator exclusion techniques to prevent either diurnal or nocturnal insect visits in small fruit crops: raspberry (Rubus idaeus), over 1 year, and red currant (Ribes rubrum) and black currant (Ribes nigrum ...

Habitat fragmentation affects plant–arthropod interactions through connectivity loss and edge effects

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Habitat fragmentation is widespread globally, but the effects of fragmentation on populations and communities are often unclear. Because species responses to fragmentation are interdependent, examining how fragmentation alters species interactions may clarify community responses to fragmentation. In a large, replicated fragmentation experiment,

Effects of flower patch additions and urbanisation on cavity‐nesting bees and wasps

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
Urbanisation can negatively affect cavity‐nesting bees and wasps, yet common conservation interventions such as flower patches and artificial nests lack strong empirical support. In a 2‐year experiment across urban allotments spanning an urbanisation gradient, we found no effect of added floral resources on nest uptake, while hymenopteran abundance ...
