Salty suitors: High larval sodium intake reduces adult lifespan and influences reproductive behaviour in a lepidopteran herbivore

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 886-898, October 2025.
Low‐sodium females took significantly longer to start mating than high‐sodium females, but no pairings differed in the duration of copulation. Reproductive outputs, measured by number of clutches, hatching young, adult offspring and pupation time, did not differ across parental sodium pairings.

The molecular mechanisms of defensive‐grade organic acid biosynthesis in ground beetles

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, Volume 34, Issue 5, Page 593-607, October 2025.
Formic acid and methacrylic acid are the primary defensive chemicals in the pygidial gland secretions of Platynus angustatus and Pterostichus moestus, respectively. Comparative transcriptomics suggests the folate cycle and valine catabolism may be involved in the biosynthesis of formic acid and methacrylic acid, respectively.

Enhancing Hediste diversicolor aquaculture production: Density and feeding rate as key variables for intensive production management

open access: yesJournal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 56, Issue 5, October 2025.
Abstract This study analyzes the effect of density on growth and feeding rate in Hediste diversicolor. In a first trial, specimens ranging in size from 10 to 500 mg were fed for 15 days at apparent satiety at eight stocking densities ranging from 500 to 16,000 individuals m−2. In a second trial, the effect of four manageable density levels ranging from
