Temporal Responses and Direct Encounters Among Native and Invasive Carnivores: Behavioral Evaluation Using Artificial Bait Sites

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
At artificial bait sites, raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) exhibited delayed temporal responses to red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) despite dominating direct encounters. In contrast, the invasive masked palm civet (Paguma larvata) showed no significant temporal responses toward either native species (raccoon dogs and red foxes), despite consistently ...

Temperature and precipitation differently influence entomological indices based on larval or adult sampling

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Larval indices, especially house infestation index (HI) and breteau index (BI), were significantly associated with temperature and precipitation, indicating that warmer and wetter conditions increase Aedes aegypti breeding‐site positivity. Adult indices, trap positivity index (TPI) and adult density index (ADI) showed no significant association with ...

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

A dual pollination strategy combining perfume attraction and food deception in Galeandra blanchetii E.S. Rand (Orchidaceae)

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Galeandra blanchetii exhibits a dual‐attraction strategy: male euglossine bees are lured by floral scents as a resource, while both sexes are deceived by non‐existent nectar. Pollination only occurs when bees enter the spur to search for nectar, highlighting an evolutionary transition towards the perfume flower syndrome in Catasetinae.

Seeing Through an Ant's Eyes: Do Entomopathogenic Fungi Extend Their Cognition to Their Hosts?

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Post‐cognitivist approaches recognize cognition as a phenomenon that involves not just brains but all the sensorimotor apparatus of organisms. This means that brains are not always required for the emergence of cognition and that every organism can, in principle, be cognitive, unlocking a theoretical framework to explain the complex adaptive ...

Which One Tastes Better? Testing Distinct Baits to Evaluate Fruit‐Feeding Butterfly Assemblages (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) in a Subtropical Region

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Standardised sampling protocols are essential for improving biodiversity assessments, particularly for indicator groups such as fruit‐feeding butterflies. Although fermented banana is the most widely used bait in tropical regions, rotten fish is the best bait for catching fruit‐feeding butterflies in high‐altitude sites.

Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of (4R,7R)‐Zingiberene Enables Construction of nor‐Sesquiterpene Semiochemical Analogs

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 19, 14 October 2026.
A five‐enzyme chemoenzymatic synthesis of the insect‐repellent (4R,7R)‐zingiberene from the wild tomato (Solanum habrochaites) has been developed. This approach enabled the elucidation of the sesquiterpene synthase cyclization mechanism of (2Z,6Z)‐farnesyl pyrophosphate and bypasses classic biosynthetic constraints of prenyltransferase chain extension ...
