Advice on animal and public health risks of insects reared on former foodstuffs as raw material for animal feed

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 4, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract In the coming decades, there is expected to be a sharply increased demand for dietary proteins for humans and animals. As a result, there is an increasing focus on reared insects as a new source of protein. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV), the use of food chain residual flows such as former foodstuffs as

Winter Temperature Affects Fatty Acid Composition and Gene Expression, but Not Fat Content and Survival in a Northern Population of a Range‐Expanding Spider

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
This study provides insight into the performance of a range‐expanding species and the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying thermal tolerance at its expanding edge. ABSTRACT Species expand their geographic distribution when environmental conditions are favorable or when mutations arise that allow them to live in previously unfavorable ...

Contrasted effects of human pressure on biodiversity in the UK: a multi‐taxonomic assessment using airborne environmental DNA

Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 12, December 2025.
Human activities have significantly modified habitats, resulting in a global biodiversity crisis. In this study, we leveraged the first national‐scale biodiversity survey based on airborne environmental DNA, comparing the effects of three human pressure indices increasing in complexity and scope – a binary urban–rural index, an index integrating land ...

Sensory Enrichment and Deprivation During Development: Limited Effects on the Volumes of CNS Neuropils in Two Spiders With Different Ecology

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 533, Issue 11, November 2025.
Sensory enrichment did not increase modality‐specific brain region volumes in either Parasteatoda tepidariorum or Marpissa muscosa; variation was largely explained by shared maternal origin, suggesting that genetic or developmental factors may outweigh environmental sensory input in shaping spider brain structure.

At the edge of darkness: A framework for the evolution of visual systems in dim light

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 2626-2636, October 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Light is an important biological cue for all living things. For animals, where many behaviours are driven by sensory input from the eyes, light is also a critical environmental feature shaping animal eye evolution, with the intensity of light (i.e.

Silver gull carcasses host unique carrion insect communities on a nearshore island

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2025.
Abstract Island ecosystems offer unique opportunities to study the dynamics of species that rely on ephemeral resources such as carrion. This study investigated the necrophagous insect communities associated with carrion of silver gulls (Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae) on a small nearshore island off the east coast of Australia, to assess how ...
