Reliance on blue, green, and brown energy channels drives a shift in the trophic position of riparian spiders. [PDF]
EcologyAbstract Understanding the mechanisms shaping food chain length (FCL) has long been central to food web ecology. FCL is a key determinant of stability, energy flow efficiency, and biodiversity maintenance, but there is an ongoing debate about its underlying drivers.

The loss of the urea cycle and ornithine metabolism in different insect orders: An omics approach. [PDF]
Insect Mol BiolAmong urea cycle enzymes, only the nitric oxide synthase gene is universally present across insect genomes. All Hemiptera species lack the enzymes needed to convert citrulline to arginine, and some also lack the pathway from arginine to ornithine. Putrescine and spermidine synthesis is conserved in all insects, but aphids lack the capability to produce

Kinematics and directionality of body turning in water striders (Gerris argentatus) on the water surface. [PDF]
Insect SciThis graphical abstract illustrates the kinematics and directionality of body turning in water striders (Gerris argentatus). The top image shows a water strider making turns, with arrows indicating possible directions and a dashed line tracing its path, highlighting its dynamic turning capabilities.
