Molecular Cloning and Expression Profiling of a c‐Jun N‐Terminal Kinase (TmJNK) in Response to Microbial Challenge in Tenebrio molitor

Entomological Research, Volume 56, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Insects exclusively utilize their innate immunity to combat various types of microbial infections. As a part of conserved signaling pathways of innate immunity, the c‐Jun N‐terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway is engaged in the regulation of various stresses, development, and immunity. However, the roles of JNK signaling pathway in Tenebrio

Conspecific cueing or cooperative feeding?—Foraging stable flies are visually attracted to conspecific flies

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 512-529, September 2026.
In two‐choice laboratory bioassays, food‐deprived and CO2‐stimulated stable flies were offered paired landing platforms that were baited or not (control) with conspecific flies. The presence of conspecifics prompted the attraction and landing of foraging stable flies.

Diversity and Distribution Patterns of Insects in Nigeria: A GBIF‐Based Appraisal

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Insect diversity in Nigeria is high, with 5880 species. Diversity differs between biomes. Current diversity represents ~21 of the estimated ‘true’ diversity. ABSTRACT Insects provide essential ecosystem services and are key indicators of ecosystem health.

Plant Phylogenetic History, Not Diversity, Drives Insect Biodiversity Across South Africa's Biomes

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Insects provide essential ecosystem services, but there is a concern that insect abundance is in rapid decline. Identifying trends in insect biodiversity is challenging because we lack baseline data for most biogeographic regions, and most insect species remain undescribed.
