Edible Insect Allergens: An Emerging Food Safety Challenge

open access: yesSustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2026.
Allergic responses to edible insects arise via two main pathways: cross‐reactivity with homologous arthropod allergens and primary sensitization to edible insect proteins, both leading to IgE‐mediated immune activation. ABSTRACT Edible insects are increasingly promoted as sustainable protein sources; however, their allergenic potential remains a ...

Phylogeny Drives Carrion Consumption by Vertebrate Scavengers Towards Distantly Related Species

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 9, September 2026.
Carrion is a highly nutritious resource that plays a key role in ecosystem functioning, but may pose pathogen risks, particularly between phylogenetically close carcass‐scavenger pairs. Using camera traps, we assessed how phylogenetic distance influenced scavenging in a Mediterranean wetland.

Antipredatory Strategies of Anurans: An Updated Conceptual Review

open access: yesEthology, Volume 132, Issue 9, Page 662-708, September 2026.
To unravel the evolutionary dynamics of predator–prey interactions, we propose an updated, three‐tiered classification of anuran antipredatory strategies. By mapping non‐behavioral, individual, and group defenses across five functional phases, this integrative framework introduces the concept of synergetic coupling.

Allergy to Hematophagous Arthropod Bites

open access: yes, 2016
Allergies to hematophagous arthropod bites are inflammatory reactivity to arthropod salivary components. They vary in intensity and quality dependent upon the arthropod specie and the individual immune response to specific proteins of the insect’s saliva.

EFSA needs for scientific excellence and regulatory readiness

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Background The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) must keep pace with food system innovation, policy change and systemic pressures, while maintaining robust, faster risk assessment. This paper identifies the scientific needs for EFSA to sustain excellence, and remain regulatorily prepared.

Bite First, Bleed Later: How Philippine Trimeresurus Pit Viper Venoms Hijack Blood Clotting

open access: yes
The Philippines has a high diversity of venomous snake species, but there is minimal information on their envenomation effects. This is evidenced by the small number of case reports, the poor reporting of envenomation cases, and the absence of specific ...

Chemical and Biological Characteristics of Antimicrobial α-Helical Peptides Found in Solitary Wasp Venoms and Their Interactions with Model Membranes

open access: yes, 2019
Solitary wasps use their stinging venoms for paralyzing insect or spider prey and feeding them to their larvae. We have surveyed bioactive substances in solitary wasp venoms, and found antimicrobial peptides together with some other bioactive peptides ...

The First Myriapod Genome Sequence Reveals Conservative Arthropod Gene Content and Genome Organisation in the Centipede Strigamia maritima [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Myriapods (e.g., centipedes and millipedes) display a simple homonomous body plan relative to other arthropods. All members of the class are terrestrial, but they attained terrestriality independently of insects. Myriapoda is the only arthropod class not

Peptide Toxin Diversity and a Novel Antimicrobial Peptide from the Spider Oxyopes forcipiformis

open access: yesToxins
Spider venoms are emerging as a rich source of bioactive peptide toxins with therapeutic potential. Lynx spiders of the genus Oxyopes are small, cursorial hunters that employ complex venom to subdue arthropod prey.
