Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1937-1959, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...

Morphological Characterization and Complete Mitochondrial Genome of a New Epizoic Hexamerous Brittle Star Gymnolophus sexradia sp. Nov

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study describes a new hexamerous epizoic brittle star species, Gymnolophus sexradia sp. nov., from the South China Sea, which lives on crinoid hosts and exhibits a six‐armed body plan possibly indicating fissiparity. Its vertebral and arm plate structures enhance horizontal flexibility for grasping the host, and phylogenetic analysis based on ...

Seasonal Role Reversal of Baer's Pochard in Waterbird Association Networks

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Seasonal Network Position Shift: Baer's Pochard exhibits a marked seasonal transition in its network position within the waterbird community—functioning as a core species with high connectivity during the breeding season, but shifting to a peripheral position with reduced network centrality during winter.

Reexamining Sexual and Species Recognition in Butterflies: The Partner‐Hazard Space Framework

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Our review found no evidence that butterflies recognize the same sex or their own species. Behaviors previously interpreted as sexual or species recognition are indistinguishable from those interpreted as mate choice. Butterfly interactions can therefore be explained by assuming a sexual‐partner template that elicits mating behavior and a hazard ...

Three Decades of Monitoring Reveal That Differing Population Trends of Large Herbivores in Gonarezhou National Park, Zimbabwe, Are Related to Species Body Mass

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
For ~20 years after the severe 1992 drought, the estimated numbers of elephant, buffalo, eland, giraffe, greater kudu, nyala, warthog, waterbuck, wildebeest and zebra increased in Gonarezhou NP, Zimbabwe. After 2013/2014, the rate of change in the survey estimates declined for buffalo, eland, elephant, giraffe and zebra, but was not negative ...
