Eocene and modern entomofauna differ—a Cretaceous‐like larva in Rovno amber
We report a 35 million‐year‐old lacewing larva from Ukrainian amber. This insect larva has a morphology up to now only known from 100 million‐year‐old amber. Therefore, this morphology survived more than 60 million years longer than previously assumed. Our find contradicts the common notion that the fauna 35 million years ago was already very modern.

Patterns of morphological evolution in the raptorial appendages of praying mantises
This study traces changes in the morphology of the forelegs across fossil and extant dictyopterans to understand their evolution from cursorial limbs to the raptorial morphologies of mantodeans. Two new mantodean specimens preserved in amber are described herein.

We report three ca. 100 million‐year‐old lacewing larvae with extraordinarily large stemmata. One of them additionally has a very wide head, which represents a previously unknown morphology. The arrangement of the stemmata indicates stereoscopic vision in these predatory larvae.

Corruption, economic globalisation, and resistance: Insights from the Philippine rice industry
Key Insights: This article shows how competing perspectives on corruption were deployed ideologically in debates about deregulating the Philippine rice industry and resulted in a policy that benefits some groups, such as consumers, at the expense of others, particularly small‐scale farmers. Abstract Scholars have shown that narratives of corruption can

eDNA metabarcoding, using various primer sets, effectively amplified 83 amphibian species from China, showcasing its potential for biodiversity assessments. However, optimizing amphibian‐specific primers is crucial due to occasional non‐amphibian amplification.
