The use of edible insects in human food
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 10, Page 5775-5787, 15 August 2026.Abstract The world population is expected to reach approximately 10 billion people by 2050, which will significantly increase global food demand and may lead to agricultural shortages and a higher risk of food insecurity. In this context, this review discusses the potential of insects as alternative sources of animal protein, addressing their ...

Stage‐Specific H3K14 and H3K23 Succinylation Orchestrates Insect Metamorphosis and Oogenesis
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 43, 3 August 2026.Stage‐specific succinylation of histone H3 at lysine 14 and 23 differentially controls insect metamorphosis and oogenesis through distinct GPCR‐PKC signaling cascades, revealing an evolutionarily conserved epigenetic mechanism that coordinates key life‐history traits.

Local Resource Heterogeneity Drives Density‐Dependent Dispersal Expression in a Phoretic Mite
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Regional heterogeneity often selects for dispersal, as this allows individuals to move between environments. However, individuals do not experience regional conditions and must make developmental decisions based on local cues. Using long‐term population experiments, we find that local heterogeneity influences dispersal by exacerbating competition ...
