Water availability and land‐use shape the diversity of Odonata in the Middle East

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 621-633, May 2026.
Odonata diversity in the Middle East depends on the availability of long‐lasting waters, emphasizing the importance of preserving stable aquatic habitats for biodiversity conservation under climate change‐driven droughts. Agricultural expansion is associated with increased Odonata species richness, but overall trait diversity remains limited ...

Genetic Variation in Chemical Defence Affects Protection of an Herbivorous Insect Against Predation

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 9, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Genetic variation contributes to intraspecific differences in the chemical defence in many insect species, yet the underlying genetic mechanisms remain poorly understood. The horseradish flea beetle, Phyllotreta armoraciae, sequesters glucosinolates from its horseradish host plant and activates them using endogenous myrosinase enzymes.

Reconceptualizing Crisis: An Empirically Based Investigation

Sociological Inquiry, Volume 96, Issue 2, Page 247-263, May 2026.
Crisis is predominantly characterized in terms of its detrimental consequences. Drawing on in‐depth semi‐structured interviews in Melbourne and Taipei, the article provides a critical and distinctive understanding of crisis. Crisis is conceptualized here as a disruptive prefiguring of new possibilities, both agentic and structural.

Safety of acute exposure to the food additive glycerol (E 422) from beverages

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The European Commission requested EFSA to assess the acute exposure to glycerol (E 422) from slush ice drinks and de‐alcoholised wine. The acute exposure assessment was conducted on a single‑consumption‑event basis considering the reported use levels and analytical data of glycerol in slush ice drinks and the proposed maximum level of 50,000 ...
