Corrosion Performance of Prepainted Galvanized Steel After 8‐Year Outdoor Exposure Upon the Distance to the Seashore in Temperate Environment

Materials and Corrosion, Volume 77, Issue 6, Page 889-897, June 2026.
The corrosion performance of line‐produced prepainted galvanized steel products was investigated upon the distance to the seashore in temperate environment over 8‐year exposure. The rate of underpaint corrosion from cut‐edge was estimated and depended on the agressiveness of the site and the angle of exposure.

Biological Pesticides as Viable Alternative to Synthetic Pesticides for Sustainable Agriculture and Nutrition: A Systematic Review

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The overuse of synthetic pesticides in agriculture has raised significant environmental and health concerns. Biopesticides have emerged as viable, environmentally compatible alternatives. However, recent comprehensive reviews integrating all biopesticide categories and emphasizing their contribution to synthetic‐pesticide‐free and health‐safe ...

Phylogeny of subtribe Gonolobinae (Apocynaceae‐Asclepiadoideae) based on molecular and morphological data with a revised generic classification

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract The presently most densely sampled molecular phylogeny of the widespread New World subtribe Gonolobinae is presented, including about 35% of the ca. 520 species. Sampling focused on an even representation of the three main areas of total Gonolobinae distribution, South America, Central/North America, and the West Indian Islands, and the ...

Field trials of formulated neem seed oil at different rates and frequencies on pigeonpea flower blister beetle, Mylabris pustulata Thunberg in Owerri Rainforest Zone, Nigeria

Journal of Biological Research, 2018
In this study, the efficacy of Formulated Neem Seed Oil (FNSO) on the population of blister beetle, Mylabris pustulata Thunberg (Coleoptera: Meloidae) was evaluated. The data were recorded from beginning of May 2009 and 2010 planting seasons.

Insect‐Derived Bioactives for Glycemic Control and Gut Health: A Review

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
Insect‐derived bioactive compounds (e.g., peptides, polysaccharides) effectively regulate blood glucose through dual mechanisms: directly inhibiting carbohydrate‐digesting enzymes and glucose transporters, and indirectly modulating gut microbiota to enhance intestinal barrier integrity.

EVALUATION OF DIFFERENT SAMPLING METHODS TO ESTIMATE THE POPULATION DENSITY OF BLISTER BEETLE, MELOE PROSCARABAEUS L. (COLEOPTERA: MELOIDAE) IN NEW-VALLEY GOVERNORATE, EGYPT. [PDF]

Journal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2013
The blister beetle, Meloe proscarabaeus L. (Coleoptera: Meloidae) was recorded for the first time as a serious insect pest attacking faba bean (Vicia faba L.), peas, alfalfa, onion and wild weeds in El-Farafra Oasis, (Western Desert), Egypt. Beetles feed

Linking Environmental Gradients, Functional Traits, and Phylogenetic Structure in Meloidae (Coleoptera) Assemblages of Inner Western Anatolia

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Blister beetles (Coleoptera: Meloidae) exhibit complex life cycles, strong host dependencies, and unusual dispersal strategies, yet community‐level ecological analyses remain rare. We aimed to identify the environmental drivers of Meloidae assemblage structure and species richness, assess whether species responses are taxonomically ...

Burn Selection: How Fire Injury Shaped Human Evolution

BioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 2, February 2026.
Intentional fire use exposed humans and their ancestors to high‐temperature burn injury, a risk rare in other species, bringing major survival benefits and technologies but also repeated exposure to extreme heat. The Burn Selection Hypothesis reframes this cost of fire mastery as a unique selective pressure, which shaped our evolution.

Habitat fragmentation affects plant–arthropod interactions through connectivity loss and edge effects

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Habitat fragmentation is widespread globally, but the effects of fragmentation on populations and communities are often unclear. Because species responses to fragmentation are interdependent, examining how fragmentation alters species interactions may clarify community responses to fragmentation. In a large, replicated fragmentation experiment,
