Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.We assessed the effectiveness of Wildlife Recovery Centers by comparing dispersal behavior of rehabilitated and wild Spanish imperial eagles using GPS tracking. Rehabilitated individuals initially moved shorter distances, rested more, and hunted less than wild controls, but these differences declined over time and ultimately disappeared.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.In this study, we investigated the effects of blueberry domestication on the oviposition behavior and performance of Ganaspis kimorum, a parasitoid of Drosophila suzukii. Domestication of blueberries reduced the oviposition‐searching behavior of the parasitoid but enhanced parasitoid performance, including offspring performance. Additionally, blueberry

Substrate Preference of Black Soldier Fly Larvae Is Influenced by Rearing History
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.BSF larvae were reared under six different conditions: low, medium, or high larval density and on low, medium, and high‐water feeds to investigate feed choice behaviour. Larvae reared under all six conditions preferred substrate colonised by conspecifics. Low‐water feed caused slower larval growth and development.

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.

Behavioural responses to radio‐tag attachment in butterflies: Evidence for active tag removal
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.During controlled indoor flight experiments with 89 butterflies from eight tropical species, we monitored behavioural responses to dorsally attached radio tags using high‐speed video recordings. Four of 39 Morpho helenor exhibited coordinated abdominal flexion and hind leg movements directed toward the tag antenna during flight; in two individuals this
