Changes in enzymatic activity and oxidative stress in honeybees kept in the apiary and laboratory conditions during the course of nosemosis.

PLoS ONE
The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in the level of oxidative stress and lysozyme-like and phenoloxidase (PO) activity under the influence of nosemosis. Honeybees were kept in natural (apiary) and artificial (laboratory) conditions.

Life‐Stage–Specific Hematological Profiles in Yellow Mealworm Beetles (Tenebrio molitor): Reference Intervals and Hemocyte Characterization

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The edible insect industry, driven by the nutritional and environmental benefits of mealworms, faces increasing challenges from pathogens affecting Tenebrio molitor farming systems. Hemocyte‐based health assessments could provide valuable diagnostic insights, yet standardized hemolymph processing protocols and hematological ...

Current Knowledge on Phytoremediation Potential of Industrial Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) for PFAS and Heavy Metal Contaminated Soils

Remediation Journal, Volume 36, Issue 2, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT This review synthesizes current research on the phytoremediation potential of industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) for heavy metals, including arsenic, aluminium, mercury, copper, lead, cadmium, nickel, and zinc, as well as per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly referred to as “forever chemicals.” A structured and transparent ...

Conformational diversity in poly‐HAMP arrays and its implications for signal transduction

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Prokaryotic transmembrane receptors are built around a helical coiled‐coil backbone, with sensory, modulatory, and effector domains arranged along its length. The modulatory HAMP domain forms a parallel four‐helix coiled coil integrated into this backbone, typically connecting transmembrane segments with downstream cytosolic domains.

Edible Insect Allergens: An Emerging Food Safety Challenge

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2026.
Allergic responses to edible insects arise via two main pathways: cross‐reactivity with homologous arthropod allergens and primary sensitization to edible insect proteins, both leading to IgE‐mediated immune activation. ABSTRACT Edible insects are increasingly promoted as sustainable protein sources; however, their allergenic potential remains a ...

Projected Climate‐Suitable Area for Apis mellifera (Apidae) and Its Spatial Overlap With a Mining Tailings Footprint in South‐East Brazil

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 8, Page 1017-1024, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change and environmental disasters can jointly impact species distributions and ecosystem stability, including pollinators and the resources they rely on. We used occurrence and climate data to predict the distribution of Apis mellifera in the Doce River Basin, south‐east Brazil, under baseline and future scenarios (2050).

Welfare and Felt Duration

Noûs, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 563-575, September 2026.
ABSTRACT How should we understand the duration of a pleasant or unpleasant sensation, insofar as its duration modulates how good or bad the experience is overall? Given that we seem able to distinguish between subjective and objective duration and that how well or badly someone's life goes is naturally thought of as something to be assessed from her ...

Valorization of Ficus carica Pruning Residues as Selective Botanical Insecticides: Optimized Furanocoumarin Extraction, Efficacy Against Neotropical Stink Bugs, and Mechanistic Insights via Molecular Docking

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 122, Issue 4, August 2026.
Optimized extracts from Ficus carica pruning waste exhibit strong biological activity against major stink bug pests. Complementary in silico analyses suggest this efficacy relies on pest‐specific acetylcholinesterase inhibition, predicting a promising, pollinator‐safe alternative for sustainable agriculture.

Photothermal Degradation of Pollutants Using a Ag@ZnNP/TiO2 Composite

ChemPlusChem, Volume 91, Issue 8, August 2026.
Sustainable treatment strategies for recalcitrant pollutants remain a critical challenge. In this study, zinc‐silver core–shell TiO2 nanocomposites (Ag@ZnNP/TiO2) were investigated as photothermal materials for the degradation of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) via photothermal sulfate radical formation and fipronil.

Floral Scents of Deceptive Arum maculatum L. (Araceae) Shape a Taxonomically Diverse Visitor Community of Lesser Dung Flies (Sphaeroceridae) That Affects Its Reproductive Success

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We identified lesser dung fly (Sphaeroceridae) visitors of the deceptive Arum maculatum and asked, whether the communities of these flies vary geographically, are shaped by floral scents, and predict the reproductive success of this plant species. Our data revealed that sphaerocerid visitors of A. maculatum are taxonomically highly diverse (20 species,
