Pharmacophagy in insects: Ecological and evolutionary perspectives on the non‐nutritional use of plant specialized metabolites

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Insects interact with plants not only for nutrition but also to actively seek plant specialized metabolites (PSMs) for chemical defense, reproduction, and self‐medication—a behavior known as pharmacophagy. This review examines how insects across diverse orders acquire PSMs from both food and non‐food plants for non‐nutritional benefits.

Plant–arthropod associations in custard apples, genus Annona: A global perspective

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Annona species, commonly known as custard apples, engage with a wide range of arthropods, including both herbivores and pollinators, which shape their ecology. These plants produce secondary metabolites that may serve as natural defenses against pests.

Multiple mating is not driven by size and sperm management in black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens)

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We investigated mating in black soldier fly (BSF), Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae), an important source of animal feed. The number of spermatozoa stored in the spermathecae of females does not change after one, two and three matings of the male. BSF males and females mate multiple times under controlled conditions. The number of sperm in the

Entomologists' knowledge of, and attitudes towards, insect welfare in research and education

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 468-484, June 2025.
Entomologists report little familiarity with insect sentience or welfare. The majority of surveyed entomologists believe training on insect welfare in important but have not received any training. Entomologists believe mandatory strategies for improving insect welfare are more effective at improving insect welfare but more costly compared to personal ...
