A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1805-1829, August 2026.ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1256-1284, August 2026.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.ABSTRACT Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a pervasive anthropogenetic pollutant and a powerful chronodisruptor, as it can mask environmental light cues and negatively influence circadian and seasonal biological processes. Within‐generation negative effects of ALAN have been recorded across a broad range of species. However, few studies have explored
