Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...

Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

Pathological axes of wound repair: Gastrulation revisited [PDF]

, 2010
Post-traumatic inflammation is formed by molecular and cellular complex mechanisms whose final goal seems to be injured tissue regeneration. In the skin -an exterior organ of the body- mechanical or thermal injury induces the expression of ...

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

Parallel Evolution of Tetrodotoxin Resistance in Three Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel Genes in the Garter Snake Thamnophis sirtalis [PDF]

, 2014
Members of a gene family expressed in a single species often experience common selection pressures. Consequently, the molecular basis of complex adaptations may be expected to involve parallel evolutionary changes in multiple paralogs.

How Has France Established Itself as a Champion of the European Fight Against Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI)?

JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract The article contributes to the emerging scholarly literature on how European democracies respond to foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI), whilst focusing on a single case study of France. It asks how France responded to Russian FIMI and why this response has become more forceful and comprehensive over time.

Packaging of Macroscopic Material Payloads: Needs, Challenges, Concepts, and Future Directions

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 9, 6 May 2026.
This review introduces a unified framework that decomposes any macroscopic packaging system into the payload, packaging material, and packaging strategy and combines them into a conceptual packaging equation: packaging strategy = payload + packaging material.

Population‐Level Laterality of Ambush Posture in the Chinese Green Tree Pit Viper (Trimeresurus stejnegeri) in Northern Taiwan

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
In the Chinese green tree pit viper (Trimeresurus stejnegeri), we tested whether ambush posture shows population‐level laterality using 283 photographic records from nocturnal field surveys and verified iNaturalist observations across three regions in northern Taiwan.

Seascapes, personhood and humanity: Conceptualising the contribution of international human rights law to sustainable governance of the marine environment

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1128-1140, May 2026.
Abstract Despite longstanding research on human rights and the environment, scholarship has only recently moved towards an explicit connection to the marine environment. At the same time, research on human rights and oceans focuses on people at sea, not environmental protection.
