Molecular bases of insect odorant receptor function: specificity and evolution
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Insect odorant receptors (ORs) are a class of chemoreceptors that insects use to detect volatile cues in their environment. In recent years, major advances in the field of structural biology have made it possible to obtain the first structures of insect ORs.

The spread of non‐native species
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Insects, 2020 Cannibalism in insects plays an important role in ecological relationships. Nonetheless, it has not been studied as extensively as in other arthropods groups (e.g., Arachnida).

Sentience in cephalopod molluscs: an updated assessment
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article evaluates the evidence for sentience – the capacity to have feelings – in cephalopod molluscs: octopus, cuttlefish, squid, and nautilus. Our framework includes eight criteria, covering both whether the animal's nervous system could support sentience and whether their behaviour indicates sentience.

Spiritual Cannibalism in HRD: How Workplace Spirituality Devours Sacred Traditions
Human Resource Development Quarterly, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper interrogates how the discourse of workplace spirituality in human resource development (HRD) operates as a tool of colonization. Through a systematic review of 48 articles published between 1997 and March 2025, the study uncovers recurring patterns of spiritual appropriation in which non‐Western traditions are detached from their ...

Meal or mate: Exploring the evidence of sexual cannibalism among amphibians
Ecology and EvolutionActive forms of cannibalism that involve predation of live conspecifics occur widely among amphibians, most notably by tadpoles that feed on each other and adults that feed on juveniles.

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Depletion of dissolved oxygen (DO; hypoxia) and its influence on sensitive fauna and vulnerable life stages is an emerging concern in lotic freshwater ecosystems. A species particularly vulnerable to hypoxia is the Eastern Hellbender—a large‐bodied, fully aquatic salamander which relies on cutaneous respiration and has evolved to thrive in ...

Regulatory mechanisms of reproduction in locusts and grasshoppers
New Plant Protection, EarlyView.Regulatory networks composed of numerous coding and noncoding genes play crucial roles in the reproduction of locusts and grasshoppers. This review integrates mechanistic advances in reproductive regulation, highlighting environmentally adaptive pathways and providing prospective targets for eco‐friendly pesticides.

Female Filial Cannibalism in the Redhead Goby (Elacatinus puncticulatus) in Captivity
DiversityFilial cannibalism is the consumption of one’s own viable progeny. It occurs in a range of taxa but is particularly well-documented in fish species. Since parental care in fishes is typically male-biased, it is usually assumed that filial cannibalism is ...

Advances in Difference Equations, 2020 We revisit the persistence and stability property of a stage-structured prey–predator model with cannibalism and constant attacking rate. By using the differential inequality theory and Bendixson–Dulac criterion, we show that if the system without ...
