Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.Each year, billions of animals undertake migratory journeys, resulting in large transfers of energy across the globe. Population declines in many migratory species have affected these, reducing ecosystem resilience. We quantify the value lost and show how conserving migratory species can contribute to climate change adaptation and mitigation, and ...

Time‐stressed Bar‐tailed Godwits exploit novel prey during migratory fuelling
Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 4, Page 1681-1695, October 2026.Long‐distance migratory birds breeding in the Arctic face challenges as earlier snowmelt shifts the timing of vital resources. To keep up with these advancements, birds will need to modify their migration. Higher fuelling rates during stopover have been identified as a critical mechanism for accelerating migration, but this requires adequate food ...

Impact of Consuming ‘Toxic’ Monarch Caterpillars on Adult Chinese Mantid Mass Gain and Fecundity
Insects, 2017 Predators that feed on chemically-defended prey often experience non-lethal effects that result in learned avoidance of the prey species. Some predators are able to consume toxic prey without ill-effect.

Distinctive gene expression in the reduced first thoracic legs of a nymphalid butterfly
Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 504-516, October 2026.Transcriptome analysis reveals that the small non‐walking front legs of a butterfly have distinct gene expression to the four walking legs. Reduced front legs express a gene with putative mechanosensory roles, a blue‐sensitive opsin and two homeobox genes.

Monitoring Danaus plexippus populations in Oswego County for the presence of Ophryocystis elektroscirrha [PDF]
, 2023 Recent Danaus plexippus (monarch butterfly) population decline is attributed to Ophryocystis elektroscirrha (O.E.), a protozoan parasite that impacts pupal development transmitted during larval stages and carried by adult butterflies.

Climate-change and mass mortality events in overwintering monarch butterflies
Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2012 Monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) have a unique yearly life cycle, in which successive generations breed and move northward from the southern USA in spring to the northern US and southern Canada by late summer; they overwinter in extremely ...

Paving the Way for Plant‐Based Bioproduction of (Z)‐13‐Octadecenoic Moth Pheromone Compounds
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 10, Page 5554-5569, October 2026.ABSTRACT Sex pheromones are eco‐friendly agents to control pest insects. Yet, the cost of synthetic pheromone production has restricted their use essentially to high value crops. Plant‐based bioproduction of pheromone compounds offers a promising and sustainable alternative, opening up for the deployment of pheromone‐mediated pest control also in row ...
