Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 9, 13 February 2026.This study presents a 3D‐printed carrier for the slow release of insect pheromones. Reinforced by lignosulfonate and Fe³⁺ coordination in a cellulose acetate matrix, it enables sustained release for up to six weeks with remarkable trapping efficacy. Featuring soil degradability and recyclable re‐printing capability, this carrier provides a sustainable ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.Precopulatory mating behaviour, are important for fitness and can be disrupted by heatwave's. Here we assess how differing levels of intrasexual and intrasexual selection in precopulatory mating behaviours impacts fitness responses to heatwaves. We find that the likelihood of having a brood is impacted by differences in intrasexual and intersexual ...

Modeling stratified dispersal in forest pests: A case study of the mountain pine beetle in Alberta
Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Forest pests pose critical threats to forest ecosystems worldwide, yet accurately predicting their spatial spread remains challenging due to complex dispersal behaviors, weather effects, and the inherent difficulty of tracking small organisms across large landscapes.

Research on Three‐Dimensional Autonomous Obstacle Avoidance Path Planning Methods for UAVs
Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies, Volume 37, Issue 2, February 2026.This study presents a three‐dimensional autonomous obstacle‐avoidance path planning method for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) based on a deep reinforcement learning (DRL)‐enhanced Mayfly Algorithm. The traditional Mayfly Algorithm suffers from issues such as random initial population generation and slow convergence.

Sex matters: European urban birds flee approaching women sooner than approaching men
People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 316-326, February 2026.Abstract Flight initiation distance (FID) is a metric often used to study an individual's perceptions of risk when facing a predatory threat. Longer FID indicates lower risk‐taking, while shorter FID identifies bolder individuals who tolerate greater risk.

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 1426-1436, February 2026.The bed bug olfactory system is highly tuned to two odor sources with dedicated odor information‐processing pathways that are modulated by the satiety–hunger state. Understanding the dynamic nature of switching odor preferences at different phases of blood digestion will contribute to the development of lures with host kairomones and aggregation ...

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 1481-1491, February 2026.Both active and passive questing ticks, Hyalomma excavatum and Ixodes ricinus, were assessed for behavioural responses to two novel plant‐derived repellent volatile organic compound blends. Both tick species were repelled by the products, and both novo blends were significantly more repellent than currently available commercial products.
