Seeing Through an Ant's Eyes: Do Entomopathogenic Fungi Extend Their Cognition to Their Hosts?

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Post‐cognitivist approaches recognize cognition as a phenomenon that involves not just brains but all the sensorimotor apparatus of organisms. This means that brains are not always required for the emergence of cognition and that every organism can, in principle, be cognitive, unlocking a theoretical framework to explain the complex adaptive ...

Sir and Guys in 20th‐ and 21st‐Century American English

open access: yesWorld Englishes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the diachronic development of formal and informal address and reference terms in American English as an effect of democratization using the COHA corpus (1900–2020). In focus are two address/reference terms with especially drastic frequency trends in the timespan investigated: the honorific sir, which declines sharply from ...

Methane Valorization Toward Carbon Neutralization: Catalytic Materials, Multiphase Interfaces, and Reactor Engineering Under Mild Conditions

open access: yesCarbon Neutralization, Volume 5, Issue 5, September 2026.
The valorization of CH4 toward carbon neutralization and energy sustainability: transforming global emissions into high‐–value products via mild catalytic strategies. ABSTRACT The direct conversion of methane into value‐added chemicals under mild conditions offers a sustainable pathway to utilize this abundant hydrocarbon feedstock and mitigate ...

Through Time and Across Traits: Evaluating Explanations of Human Evolution

open access: yesEvolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT We argue that current explanatory practice misses two situations that can arise in any lineage, not only ours. The first is dynamic: traits continue changing in one direction when a lineage's own niche construction keeps enlarging the problem it faces.

A synergistic alliance between nematophagous fungi and organic matter against plant‐parasitic nematodes: a systematic review

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8104-8119, September 2026.
Certain beneficial fungi are widely used to control harmful nematodes in crops, especially when combined with organic matter. Together, they improve soil health, support plant growth, and enhance nutrient cycling. This natural partnership offers a promising, environmentally friendly approach to strengthening sustainable agriculture and reducing ...

A High‐Resolution Method Using Individual Females to Assess the Competitiveness of Sterile Drosophila suzukii Males Under Semi‐Controlled Conditions

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 9, Page 1011-1021, September 2026.
A high‐resolution, novel method to assess the sexual competitiveness of sterile mass‐reared Drosophila suzukii males is calibrated and illustrated using different laboratory and wild type strains. Isolation of individual females after semi‐controlled cage competition tests and subsequent observation of their progeny showed that sterile males from two ...

Sibling species of the Cotesia inducta complex (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) sympatrically parasitising heterogeneous lycaenid larvae associated with ants

open access: yesEntomological Science, Volume 29, Issue 3, September 2026.
Three sibling parasitoid wasps of the Cotesia inducta (Braconidae) complex attack ant‐associated lycaenid larvae in Japan. Species differ in host range, seasonal host use and feeding habitat. Differences in host‐feeding habitat may contribute to diversification within the Cotesia inducta complex. Abstract Approximately 75% of lycaenid butterfly species

Effect of blood meals and mating on biodemographic characteristics of Aedes albopictus

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 446-459, September 2026.
Lifespan did not differ between virgin and mated males and females. The number of blood meals (one and two) significantly reduced adult lifespan compared with those with no blood meal. The effect of the second blood meal doubled females' egg production and their reproductive output.
