Dispersal mediates metapopulation response to local and regional stressors
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.A feature of recent insect declines is that widespread, formerly common species are among the worst affected. We designed a metapopulation simulation to ask how dispersal capability interacts with landscape and population stressors that act at different spatial scales.

ParasitologyBees are key species for pollination and apiculture. Within the multiple biotic threats, parasites are one of the main players involved in bee health. Among them, trypanosomatid parasites have been the focus of recent studies that have placed them as one

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 ...

Where the wild rose blooms: A phenology of grounded writing
Anthropology and Humanism, Volume 51, Issue 2, December 2026.Abstract This flash tip reflects on a phenology of grounded writing, emerging through reciprocal attention and embodied observation across four seasons. Drawing on land‐based methodologies and creative ethnography, I offer reflections for scholars seeking to write otherwise through the practice of standing in solidarity with two feet in one place.

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.We show that impacts of agriculture on arthropod biodiversity are notably less negative in Europe than in other regions, which we find is driven by a degraded baseline, a selection bias of reference sites, and novel species compositions in agriculture that favour widespread habitat generalists and non‐native species.

Microbiome‐mediated chemical communication in insects: Implications for pest management
Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8132-8151, September 2026.Microbiome–semiochemical interactions involve the following processes: direct microbial synthesis, host gene regulation, precursor biotransformation, microbiome modulation and indirect ecological signaling. Abstract Insects rely on semiochemicals to regulate aggregation, mating, foraging, and host selection. This review synthesizes evidence that insect‐

The use of edible insects in human food
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 10, Page 5775-5787, 15 August 2026.Abstract The world population is expected to reach approximately 10 billion people by 2050, which will significantly increase global food demand and may lead to agricultural shortages and a higher risk of food insecurity. In this context, this review discusses the potential of insects as alternative sources of animal protein, addressing their ...

Field Margin Vegetation Structure Buffers Microclimate Extremes in Temperate Agricultural Landscapes
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Tree‐rich field margins strongly buffered thermal extremes, lowering maximum and raising minimum temperatures compared to adjacent crop fields. Paired shielded and unshielded sensors showed how vegetation modifies thermal conditions and how measurement approach influences estimates of thermal buffering, supporting the potential role of treed margins as

Exploring the Quality of Historic DNA From Pinned Beetles
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Dry‐preserved museum specimens offer valuable but degraded DNA for genomic studies, making extraction method choice crucial. We found that an oligo‐focused silica‐column protocol yielded higher‐quality short DNA fragments than standard silica or precipitation methods, and that specimen age mainly reduced fragment length and locus recovery, while DNA ...
