Functional Analysis of NPC2 in Alarm Pheromone Recognition by the Red Imported Fire Ant, Solenopsis invicta (Formicidae: Solenopsis)

Insects
The red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta) is a dangerous invasive insect. These ants rely on releasing an alarm pheromone, mainly composed of 2-ethyl-3,6-dimethylptrazine (EDMP), to warn nestmates of danger and trigger group defense or escape ...

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Hippocampal subfield differences in people with and without recreational ketamine use: Insights from multi‐modal neuroimaging

Addiction, Volume 121, Issue 6, Page 1541-1556, June 2026.
Abstract Background and aims Recreational ketamine use has increased globally and is associated with psychiatric and cognitive concerns. The hippocampus in preclinical models shows damage and working‐memory disruption with repeated dosing. However, whether specific hippocampal subregions may differ in people with chronic ketamine use remains unclear ...

Spatial Distribution, Abundance, and Threats to the Indian Pangolin (Manis crassicaudata) in Buner District, Lesser Himalayas

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
First quantitative study of the Indian pangolin population in Buner District. GIS mapping revealed uneven spatial distribution across elevation zones. ABSTRACT The Indian pangolin (Manis crassicaudata), an elusive and endangered mammal, remains poorly studied in Pakistan, particularly in the mountain landscapes of the Lesser Himalayas.
