Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 7, July 2026.In classic trait‐based approaches, traits reflect different plant strategies that evolved over long‐term evolutionary timescales. The study indicates that these trade‐offs also emerge consistently across populations within single species, yielding similar ecological consequences.

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.ABSTRACT DNA‐based methods offer a rapid and cost‐effective way for detecting species occurrence and monitoring biodiversity; among them, bulk DNA metabarcoding is well‐established, and recently developed environmental DNA (eDNA)‐based methods offer a non‐lethal alternative.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 670-684, July 2026.We assessed Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) performance on five common pasture plant species. Larvae consumed more dock, plantain and chicory per day than red or white clover, but with lower conversion efficiencies. Feeding on red clover reduced weights and egg laying, and lengthened development times compared with plantain.

German Cockroach Frass Proteases Modulate the Innate Immune Response via Activation of Protease-Activated Receptor-2 [PDF]
, 2010 Allergen exposure can induce an early innate immune response; however, the mechanism by which this occurs has not been addressed. In this report, we demonstrate a role for the active serine proteases in German cockroach (GC) feces (frass) and protease ...

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 14, July 2026.ABSTRACT Animals that acquire beneficial microbial symbionts from their environment risk acquiring a sub‐optimal partner, or no partner at all. The leaffooted bug Leptoglossus zonatus (Coreidae) acquires its Caballeronia (Burkholderiaceae) bacterial symbiont from the environment, presumably from local soil.

Use of wool and insect frass as crop fertilisers [PDF]
Ull og insekts frass er ubrukte biprodukter med høy potensial som jordforbedringsmidler. I Norge kastes over 60 % av ullen på grunn av små urenheter, mens den årlige produksjonen av frass kan mulig nå 727 000 tonn.

Nutrient density and mineral content of radishes grown in black solider fly frass-enriched compost [PDF]
More sustainable food production methods are needed for the future, especially considering the challenges of climate change. Hermetica illucens (L.), also known as black solider fly (BSF), shows promise as a tool in the circular economy, as it can ...
