Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 7, Page 661-673, July 2025.Insects interact with plants not only for nutrition but also to actively seek plant specialized metabolites (PSMs) for chemical defense, reproduction, and self‐medication—a behavior known as pharmacophagy. This review examines how insects across diverse orders acquire PSMs from both food and non‐food plants for non‐nutritional benefits.

Pharmacophagy in green lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae: Chrysopa spp.)? [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Green lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) are voracious predators of aphids and other small, soft-bodied insects and mites. Earlier, we identified (1R,2S,5R,8R)-iridodial from wild males of the goldeneyed lacewing, Chrysopa oculata Say, which is released

Review of larval food plant associations of the Agaristinae (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Australia
Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2025.Abstract The Australian Agaristinae comprises a small group of predominantly diurnal moths with aposematic larvae and adults that are assumed to be unpalatable to most predators. A critical review of the larval food plants of this subfamily based on published records in the literature, together with unpublished records, is presented.

Community Characteristics and Population Dynamics of an Endangered Rhododendron nymphaeoides
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.Rhododendron nymphaeoides is explicitly listed as an endangered species in the “the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List,” “The Red List of Rhododendrons,” “Red List of China's Higher Plants,” and “Threatened Species List of China's Higher Plants.” It is also listed as a provincial‐level key protected wild plant in Sichuan, with ...

Chromatin Topological Domains Associate With the Rapid Formation of Tandem Duplicates in Plants
Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 7, February 17, 2025.A collection of Hi‐C matrices across the plant kingdom confirms the interrelation between large‐scale chromosome conformation and species genome size. At a finer level, tandem duplicate gene clusters preferentially fold into topologically associating domains (TADs) in an evolutionarily conserved manner.

Synergistic defensive function of raphides and protease through the needle effect.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Raphides, needle-shaped calcium oxalate crystals in tissues of many plants, have been thought to play defensive roles against herbivores without detailed bioassays for their defensive roles and modes of function using purified raphides.
