Land Reforms in Cuba: First Empirical Assessment on Productivity Using Crop‐Level Panel Data

open access: yesEconomics of Transition and Institutional Change, Volume 34, Issue 3, Page 573-585, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Land reforms implemented in Cuba since 2008 have aimed to increase agricultural production by distributing state‐owned idle lands with land‐use rights. The reforms restricted farmers with the rights from cultivating perennial and capital‐intensive crops.

Economic and Biological Evaluation of Pheromone Trap Types for Western Bean Cutworm, Striacosta albicosta, Monitoring in Dry Edible Bean Fields

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 750-763, July 2026.
Pheromone trap use for monitoring Striacosta albicosta in dry edible beans was evaluated across multiple trap designs, lure replacement intervals, and insecticide timings. Bucket traps captured the most moths, yet trap counts poorly predicted crop damage.

Forage Plant Host and Early Feeding Choices Affect Spodoptera litura Feeding, Development and Egg‐Laying

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 670-684, July 2026.
We assessed Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) performance on five common pasture plant species. Larvae consumed more dock, plantain and chicory per day than red or white clover, but with lower conversion efficiencies. Feeding on red clover reduced weights and egg laying, and lengthened development times compared with plantain.

Efficacy of Selected Commercial Bio‐Products in Disrupting Symbiont Acquisition and Survival of Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 764-773, July 2026.
Targeting the symbiont Candidatus Pantoea carbekii offers a novel way to manage the invasive brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys). Among the three commercial bio‐products tested, Dentamet significantly reduced symbiont acquisition and caused up to 75% nymphal mortality in laboratory conditions, which was confirmed by quantitative Real‐Time ...

Incorporating County‐Level Spatial Resolution in Maize Life Cycle Emissions Analysis in Illinois, USA

open access: yesGCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2026.
Spatial life cycle analysis (LCA) shows that the carbon intensity (CI) of maize grain used for ethanol production in Illinois, USA varies across the state, with an average carbon intensity of 14%–17% lower than the national average used in policy decisions.

Long‐Term Cultivation of Perennial Energy Crops Enhance Ecosystem Multifunctionality on Marginal Red Soil Without Trade‐Offs

open access: yesGCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2026.
Switchgrass (SG) and Miscanthus (MS) boost ecosystem multifunctionality in marginal soils. Strong synergies, not trade‐offs, exist among ecosystem services under SG and MS. MS surpasses SG in provisioning and supporting services for higher multifunctionality. MS is ideal for maximizing multifunctionality, carbon sequestration, and stability.

Conservation implications of shifting habitat use in migrating insects: Selection patterns in a threatened damselfly show that season‐specific actions are needed

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 4, Page 769-781, July 2026.
Well‐preserved heathlands of NW Italy are the main overwintering habitat of Sympecma paedisca, while grassy margins in farmland are used only in summer and are avoided from autumn onwards. Grassy margins in farmland act as corridors during the species' migrations between its breeding (ricefields) and overwintering (lowland heathlands) grounds ...

Constitution and function of intergenic genome regions in cultivated versus annual wild soybean in China

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 7, Page 2105-2127, July 2026.
Three‐case restricted two‐stage multi‐locus multi‐allele genome‐wide association study identified main‐effect genes and detected the regulatory effects of intergenic loci on genes, enabling comprehensive dissection of the genic‐intergenic genetic system for quantitative traits and providing a strategy for studying their genetic basis.
