Robust estimation of key leaf traits from reflectance spectroscopy of herbarium specimens
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2364-2378, August 2026.Abstract Community‐wide efforts to digitize herbarium specimens have facilitated novel uses of specimen data across scales. However, the need for destructive sampling has prevented large‐scale examination of foliar functional traits. We demonstrate that nondestructive reflectance spectra are an effective tool for estimating leaf traits from herbarium ...

Out of the dark – Psychological perspectives on people's fascination with true crime
British Journal of Psychology, Volume 117, Issue 3, Page 880-909, August 2026.Abstract The success of the true crime media genre reflects humanity's avid curiosity about violence, deviance, and murder, yet psychological research on this phenomenon is lacking. In this article, we highlight why true crime consumption may be relevant to various research fields that go beyond simple media preferences.

Prey Range and Voracity of Main Insect Natural Enemies of Pests in Corsican Clementine Orchards
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 851-862, August 2026.To assess the biocontrol potential on the main arthropod pests of clementine orchards in Corsica, laboratory experiments were carried out using five potential predators. Their prey range and voracity were tested on three pest species. Then, a global predation rate index was calculated at the scale of the entire community of insect predators.

EPPO Bulletin, Volume 56, Issue 2, Page 309-316, August 2026.Abstract The South African citrus thrips, Scirtothrips aurantii Faure, 1929, has been recorded in Italy for the first time. This species was recently reported in Spain and Portugal. Its presence has been confirmed in the major citrus‐growing area of Catania province (Sicily), infesting citrus trees. S. aurantii is currently included in the EPPO A1 List

The multidimensional regulation roles and mechanisms of calcium in fruit quality
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2747-2767, August 2026.This review explores how calcium signaling molecule integrates plant hormones, environmental cues, and developmental signals to influence external fruit traits, internal nutritional properties, and physiological disorders. ABSTRACT Calcium (Ca2+), a dual‐functional mineral that serves both as an essential structural factor and a signaling molecule ...
