Metals are persistent and can accumulate in the food web, with potential toxic effects for most organisms. Some metal-tolerant plants can accumulate metals in their aboveground parts, including the pollen and nectar of their flowers. Therefore, insects visiting these flowers are exposed to these toxic elements. They can also be influenced by the plant species turnover observed along pollution gradients. Surprisingly, the impact of soil metal contamination on pollinating insect diversity has rarely been studied. To fill in this gap, we carried out a study in a former mining valley in the French Pyrenees with metal contamination by Zn, Pb and Cd. We estimated the richness and community composition of insects visiting the flowers of metal-tolerant and metal-intolerant plant species in 96 plots along metal pollution gradients. Insect richness did not change along the pollution gradient and was similar between metal-tolerant and metal-intolerant plant species. On the contrary, insect community composition changed along the gradient and differed between plant types. We also found that insect species richness increased with the flower abundance of the focal plant. This study showed that flowers of metal-tolerant plants, including hyper-accumulator species, are visited by several insect species and harbour a distinct pollinator community. The ingestion of metal-rich nectar or pollen may have lethal or sub-lethal effects for these flower-visiting insects. Further experimental studies are needed to determine if metal-rich floral resources act as an ecological trap for some of these species.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8409,"journal":{"name":"Arthropod-Plant Interactions","volume":"20 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147342313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Top-down regulation can be enhanced or diminished by shifts in arthropod communities, thus, understanding which factors alter abundance and richness of herbivores and natural enemies in agroecosystems can guide approaches to habitat management and pest control strategies. We examined which local habitat factors (e.g., ground cover, floral abundance, vegetation height) and landscape factors (e.g., urban cover) drive changes in herbivore and natural enemy abundance, richness, and composition on squash (<i>Cucurbita pepo</i>) plants in urban agroecosystems. We collected and identified arthropods from foliage, stems, and flowers using visual surveys on <i>C. pepo</i> plants across 21 urban agroecosystems in the central coast of California. Both local and landscape factors were associated with shifts in abundance and richness of specific herbivore and natural enemy taxa. Specifically, squash area was associated with higher abundance of leaf beetles and herbivore Hemiptera and herbaceous plant richness tended to predict lower herbivore, aphid and leaf beetle abundance. Squash area was associated with higher natural enemy abundance and richness, higher spider and ladybeetle richness, and higher predator Hemiptera abundance. Garden size boosted natural enemy and ladybeetle abundance and ladybeetle richness. Tree and shrub abundance was associated with higher spider, ladybeetle, and predator Hempitera abundance. Herbaceous plant richness was associated with lower ladybeetle abundance and richness. Finally, urban cover boosted predator Hemiptera abundance and richness. No local or landscape factors predicted shifts in herbivore or natural enemy composition. We examine why and how specific local and landscape habitat factors shape the arthropod community structure in a common garden crop and consider implications for garden management practices.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8409,"journal":{"name":"Arthropod-Plant Interactions","volume":"20 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11829-026-10224-x.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147340826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies revealed that certain wild <i>Solanum</i> species exhibit complete feeding antixenosis (= feeding non-preference) against ash weevil, <i>Myllocerus subfasciatus</i> Guerin-Meneville, an important folivore pest on brinjal (<i>Solanum melongena</i>). We studied the feeding behaviour of ash weevil in detail among the wild and cultivated <i>Solanum</i> species and their trichome morphology and secondary metabolites to identify the traits responsible for the feeding antixenosis. Detailed observations were made on the leaf trichome diversity and their biochemical characterization in the wild (<i>S. mammosum, S. viarum, S. macrocarpon, S. sisymbriifolium, S. indicum, S. aethiopicum, S. gilo, S. torvum, S. capsicoides, S. seaforthianum and S. nigrum</i>) as well as cultivated <i>S. melongena</i> that could explain the observed host plant defense (feeding-antixenosis) against <i>M. subfasciatus</i>. Seven types of trichomes including glandular (IV, VI, VII) and non-glandular (II, III, V, VIII) are noticed and <i>Solanum</i> species having glandular trichomes were less preferred by ash weevil. Most of the susceptible <i>Solanum</i> species mainly comprised non-glandular trichomes (type VIII) and were completely devoid of glandular trichomes. Biochemical characterization of different <i>Solanum</i> species trichome wash by GC–MS [Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry for Volatile Organic Compounds (= VOCs)] and LC–MS/MS (Liquid Chromatography with Tandem Mass Spectrometry for phenolic acids, acyl sugars) revealed specific metabolites in glandular trichomes that might have played role in the observed antixenosis against ash weevil. Higher proportions of acyl sugars and phenolic acids that appear to be correlated with the feeding antixenosis of ash weevil were associated with glandular trichome density. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) revealed that of 45 VOCs observed, Z-11(13,13-Dimethyl) tetradecen-1-ol acetate; acetic acid, (2-benzothiazolylthio)-, ethyl ester; Z-9-Octadecenoic acid; 9-Tetradecenal, (Z) were found to contribute to the observed feeding antixenosis, whereas, n-hexadecanoic acid which is predominantly present in the non-glandular trichomes might have conferred the susceptibility of <i>Solanum</i> species.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":8409,"journal":{"name":"Arthropod-Plant Interactions","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145929730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
