Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects

open access: yesBiological 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 ...

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.
Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

Species‐Specific Bacterial Associations Emerge From Stochastically Assembled Microbiomes in Northeastern American Fireflies

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 14, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Many insects harbour microbial communities that can profoundly influence the biology of their host. Yet, the relative contribution of random exposure (i.e., stochastic) events and deterministic ecological factors in shaping these communities remains unclear for most taxa.

Behavioral responses of bioluminescent fireflies to artificial light at night

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Bioluminescent insects have been the subject of scientific interest and popular wonder for millennia. But in the 21st century, the fireflies, click beetles, and cave glow-worms that brighten our nights are threatened by an unprecedented competitor ...

Individual and combined effects of shading and habitat complexity on benthic macroinvertebrate communities in a mesocosm stream experiment (São Paulo, Brazil)

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 5, July 2026.
Abstract Introduction Agricultural activities are a major driver of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation in subtropical streams, often altering macroinvertebrate community structure and associated ecosystem functions. Although restoration strategies increasingly target these impacts, the relative importance of riparian shading and in‐stream ...

Phylogenomics‐based click‐beetle classification tackles multiple origins of phenotypic modifications

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
Using a concatenated dataset consisting of new genomic data from 73 species across 40 click‐beetle tribes and an earlier published, smaller dataset, we conducted the first 4200‐ortholog study targeting the phylogeny of Elateridae with the highest resolution to date.

Biology and rearing technique for the mangrove firefly, Pteroptyx valida (Coleoptera: Lampyridae) Olivier, with discussion of additional instar in female

open access: yesJournal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2020
With increasing pressure from many threats including firefly tourism and urbanization, rearing of Pteroptyx fireflies and reintroducing the species to habitats with low populations is a conservation challenge. Here we report a novel rearing technique for
