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.

Plant pathogen profiling with the EpiPvr package
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 837-849, March 2026.Abstract This study introduces a flexible framework for epidemiological profiling of insect‐borne plant pathogens (IBPPs), utilising readily available experimental data. The framework is applicable to most IBPPs transmitted by insects feeding on plant veins, with particular relevance to whitefly‐borne viruses that impact cassava production in sub ...

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 2, Page 503-519, March 2026.We investigated the role of vision in host‐seeking behaviour by Philaenus spumarius, the main European vector of Xylella fastidiosa, through an integrated anatomical, optical, physiological, and behavioural study. Our data highlight that the spittlebug uses visual cues, including polarized light, which may aid in detecting the polarized reflections ...

InsectsCassava whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, directly damages cassava leaves by feeding on phloem, causing chlorosis and abscission, leading to a yield loss of up to 50%. The pest also causes indirect damage through sooty mold formation.

Climate Change Can Generate Enemy‐Free Space for Crop‐Feeding Herbivores
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.Magnitude and direction of change in parasitoid pressure for 14 agricultural pests subject to climate‐driven distributional shifts. Pests are organized per increasing parasitoid pressure under current climatic conditions (X axis). Bubble size is reflective of the (absolute) area affected by a given pest under a given scenario.

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.Begomoviruses have jumped hosts between tomatoes and cucumbers, and we found that a short region (transcriptional activator and replication enhancer proteins, TrAp and REn) of tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus is mainly responsible for host jump. ABSTRACT Begomoviruses transmitted by whiteflies cause severe crop losses worldwide.

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 2986-3002, March 2026.Summary The vesicle trafficking system enables multidirectional cargo fluxes between endomembrane compartments. However, vesicle trafficking plays dual roles during pathogen infections. In plants, it mediates autophagic immune responses but can also be hijacked by pathogens to facilitate successful infections.
