Boll weevils in dry bolls: is there a performance disadvantage?
Journal of Cotton ResearchBackground Anthonomus grandis grandis is the main cotton pest in the Americas, with the potential to become a pest in other continents. The insect uses the plant’s reproductive organs for feeding, oviposition, and survival strategies in the off-season ...

Selective Feeding of the Duckweed Weevil on Three Common Species of Duckweed in Japan
Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 4, July 2026.We examined the feeding preferences of the duckweed weevil on three duckweed species: Spirodela polyrhiza (Sp), Landoltia punctata (Lp), and Lemna aequinoctialis (La). Feeding assays showed that the area of Lp consumed was significantly smaller than that of Sp and La.

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 4, July 2026.ABSTRACT Edible insects are increasingly recognized for their high nutritional value and favorable environmental profile, yet their acceptance (defined as the continuum from willingness to try and purchase to repeated consumption) in Western and globalized food systems remains limited by cultural, sensory, regulatory, and economic barriers.

Contact Dermatitis, Volume 95, Issue 1, Page 74-85, July 2026.This Finnish registry study shows that concomitant occupational asthma and rhinitis are common in patients with occupational contact urticaria or protein contact dermatitis, often sharing the same exposure. When evaluating occupational immediate allergy, both skin and airway symptoms should be considered.

Entomologia 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.

Responses of Fruit Flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) to Protein Bait Applied at Different Densities
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 736-742, July 2026.ABSTRACT The effectiveness of odour‐based lures for insects is related to their active space, the air volume around an odour source in which an insect will detect and move towards it. This principle applies to protein baits laced with toxicants that are used as either sprays or stations to suppress pest fruit fly populations.

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 3952-3962, July 2026.ABSTRACT The symbiosis between nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia and plants is considered mutually beneficial, yet its indirect effects on other organisms remain understudied. We examined how rhizobia symbiosis in Phaseolus vulgaris influences the behaviour and performance of Diabrotica balteata larvae. Specifically, we tested larval preference for nodulated (R+
