Only the B biotype of Bemisia tabaci is present on vegetables in São Paulo State, Brazil Somente o biótipo B de Bemisia tabaci ocorre em hortaliças no Estado de São Paulo, Brasil

Scientia Agricola, 2011
Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) is one of the most important pests in cultivated areas of vegetables and ornamental crops around the world. Based on the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidize I (mtCOI) sequence, there is evidence that B.

Potential for the American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) to contribute to biological control in a vegetable agroecosystem

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract The American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) is a native insectivorous amphibian common in agricultural fields in eastern North America. Past research on this and related species suggests potential for positive or negative effects on pest populations, depending on the prevalence of intraguild predation.

Phytochemical Variability of Mentha L. Species Over Three Growing Seasons

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 3, March 2026.
Species of the genus Mentha are evaluated over three years for phytochemical composition and bioactivity using spectrophotometric, HPLC‐DAD, and GC‐MS analyses of methanolic extracts and essential oils. Clear genotype‐dependent differences are observed, with Mentha × piperita showing higher phenolic content and antioxidant activity than M.

Potential Drivers of Successful Biocontrol: A Perspective on Parasitoids

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.
Parasitoids are central to classical biological control, yet predicting their long‐term effectiveness post release remains challenging. In Aotearoa New Zealand, three Microctonus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) species have been used against pest weevils, but key aspects of their biology remain poorly understood.

Carboniferous fossils enlighten the systematics and evolution of Hemiptera

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Fossils are witnesses to the evolutionary processes undergone by living lineages. The earliest occurrence of clades provides rich insights into the timing of diversification of lineages and better delimits the groups that compose them. Hemiptera are a remarkable order within the insects due to their high morphological and ecological diversity.
