Molecular Oncology, Volume 20, Issue 8, Page 1913-1932, August 2026.EXOSC10, an essential nuclear RNA exosome‐associated 3′‐5′ exoribonuclease, is inhibited by the anticancer drug 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU), and EXOSC10 depletion increases 5‐FU sensitivity. The colon‐cancer variant EXOSC10S402T, located in a proteolysis motif, is stable and nuclear but nonfunctional in vivo.

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 122, Issue 4, August 2026.Optimized extracts from Ficus carica pruning waste exhibit strong biological activity against major stink bug pests. Complementary in silico analyses suggest this efficacy relies on pest‐specific acetylcholinesterase inhibition, predicting a promising, pollinator‐safe alternative for sustainable agriculture.

Use of AI and Robotics for Automated Insect Trapping and Identification
Every year, insect pests reduce agricultural yields significantly, endangering food security and farm profitability. Traditional pest monitoring techniques rely mainly on manual scouting and expert identification, which are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and frequently wrong.

Diet of bird‐like troodontid dinosaurs: synthesis of a contentious clade
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1760-1778, August 2026.ABSTRACT Troodontidae is a clade of small‐to medium‐sized maniraptoran theropods that mainly lived in Laurasia (modern Asia, North America and Europe) during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and are believed to have had a variety of diets. The uniqueness of troodontid teeth suggests that they diverged from the typical flesh‐based diet of non‐avian ...

Classifying avian drinking behaviour: ecological insights and implications in a changing world
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1851-1862, August 2026.ABSTRACT Water is a fundamental currency of life, and its availability significantly influences animal behaviour, physiology and distributions. However, our knowledge around the dependence on water for drinking and the direct and indirect mechanisms driving related behaviours remains partial in the context of changing climates. Here, we review patterns

Design Patterns for the Development and Implementation of Bioacoustic Deep Learning Recognizers
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.This paper presents a set of design patterns for developing and integrating Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) recognizers in bioacoustic monitoring programs. Using a western toad case study, we illustrate solutions to common challenges in model development and workflow integration. These patterns provide a practical framework to improve the efficiency,

Accuracy of occurrence and abundance estimates from insect metabarcoding
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2343-2363, August 2026.Abstract DNA metabarcoding—high‐throughput sequencing of barcode regions from bulk samples—has become a key tool for insect biodiversity assessment. Yet, how methodological choices affect the accuracy of metabarcoding data remains insufficiently explored. In this paper, we ask: (1) How does the lysis method (non‐destructive lysis vs.

Refuge by day, forage by night: Diel activity of vine weevil as characterised by smart monitoring
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 508-514, August 2026.Vine weevil activity was monitored using a Smart trap, which recorded diel refuge‐seeking behaviour. Increasing light intensity triggered refuge seeking behaviour, while lower light intensity induced forage seeking activity. Understanding vine weevil diel activity can enhance early detection, which can improve the effectiveness of integrated pest ...

Emerging experimental and bioinformatic approaches in RNA interference‐based pest control research
Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 4, Page 364-375, August 2026.Double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA) visualization, RNA‐induced silencing complex (RISC)‐bound sRNA‐seq and RNA degradomics allow investigating dsRNA uptake and processing, guide small interfering RNA selection and RISC‐mediated target mRNA cleavages. Transcriptomic and proteomic profiles of genome‐wide responses to dsRNA, including off‐target and compensatory ...

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1454-1466, August 2026.Banksia attenuata (Proteaceae) attracts nocturnal scarab beetles with an unusual floral scent—the beetles pollinate the flower as they feed on pollen and nectar and mate on the inflorescences. Abstract Pollination by beetles has evolved multiple times in flowering plants but with relatively few plant species adapted specifically to pollination by ...
