Agroecological farming promotes yield and biodiversity but may require subsidy to be profitable
Journal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.These results highlight that while evidence for the role of ecosystem services in supporting crop yield can be found, overcoming economic constraints within conventional farming systems is likely to be a key barrier to widespread uptake. Agri‐environmental subsidy payments can offset these costs, but only for moderate interventions.

Pollinator benefits of small‐scale landscapes depend also on semi‐natural habitat
Journal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.Mass‐flowering crops and nearby semi‐natural habitats enhance colony growth and queen production, emphasising the important role of abundant and diversified flower resources as well as neighbouring semi‐natural habitats. Further, landscapes shaped by small‐scale farming are crucial for sustaining and enhancing pollinator populations.

Plant Species Biology, EarlyView.Can calcium oxalate crystals protect plants against herbivorous insects? These Hazel leaves are consumed by caterpillars despite their high content of mineral druses (right image, arrows. Scale bar = 100 μm). This study illustrates what happens to crystals and caterpillars after the meal.

Text and Topos: British Travellers to Real‐and‐Imagined Classical Sites, c. 1560–1820
History, EarlyView.Abstract Early‐modern British travellers to the Mediterranean often understood their journeys through the lens of classical texts and culture. Historians sometimes explain this as an imaginative phenomenon: travellers’ preconceptions shaped by classical knowledge guided their subsequent comprehension and activity.

Foraging by predatory ants: A review
Insect Science, EarlyView.This review focuses on ecological and behavioral characteristics of foraging in ants showing the wide diversity of cases. Most ants can feed on sugary substances, but some ground‐nesting species are strict predators. Except army ants during the nomadic phase, they are central‐place foragers that can recruit nestmates when necessary. They prey mostly on

Stress in dipteran insects mass‐reared for sterile insect technique applications
Insect Science, EarlyView.The connections between biotic and abiotic stress affecting mass‐reared dipteran insects and the associated stress and immunological responses. Numbers indicate the order in which the topics are discussed in this review. Abstract Stress may be viewed as the disturbance of homeostasis of an organism.

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, EarlyView.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...
