Understanding antipredator strategies of insects: Human presence and escape behaviour in Odonata
Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 682-692, August 2025.We tested urbanisation effects, along with a range of life‐history, environmental and contextual traits, on tolerance towards humans—measured by flight initiation distance—in 14 Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) Urbanisation had a generally weak effect on Odonata escape behaviour; however, odonates delayed their escape at sites with high human ...

Spatial Variation in Nest‐Site Selection and Population Dynamic of Blue‐Throated Bee‐Eater in a Human‐Altered Landscape: Implications for Conservation [PDF]
Ecol EvolOur results indicate that alterations in the nesting site habitat have a crucial impact on population dynamics. This study offers valuable decision‐making foundations for the enhanced conservation of blue‐throated bee‐eaters. ABSTRACT Anthropogenic activities are among the primary drivers of global biodiversity decline.

Diet C:N ratio and temperature influence the performance and colouration of tobacco hornworms
Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 708-716, August 2025.Melanization can help insects deal with environmental temperatures, but melanin synthesis can depend on nutrient availability. We tested whether the diet C:N ratio and temperature influence Manduca sexta performance and colouration. Larvae performed better at the warmer temperature of 27°C compared to 18°C and had a lighter colour when fed a low ...

Mechanical Biomimetic Nanocomposites for Multidimensional Treatment of Arterial Thrombosis
Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 25, July 3, 2025.In this study, a mechanical biomimetic nanocomposite is developed, guided by photoacoustic imaging, to achieve highly efficient and safe thrombolysis through the synergistic effects of photothermal therapy and pharmacological intervention. Most notably, the nanoparticle improves the microenvironment of arterial thrombi, marked by high shear stress and ...
