Morphological and biomechanical adaptations of larval mandibles in Trichoptera (Insecta)

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 85-114, March 2026.
Mandible morphology differs between predators and grazers: predators show pointed incisors, grazers sharp edges and setae. Mechanical properties depend on cuticle tanning, not elemental reinforcement. Functional mandible types reflect feeding strategies, with predators specialized for prey capture and grazers for scraping and collecting.

Nutrient landscape of a cricket nymph: How dietary protein and carbohydrate shape intake, performance, and body composition in the two‐spotted cricket, Gryllus bimaculatus

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 178-192, March 2026.
Survival of Gryllus bimaculatus nymphs was highest on protein‐biased diets (P:C = 3.86:1), whereas growth and body mass were maximized on slightly carbohydrate‐biased diets (P:C = 1:1.47). Maximum body protein and lipid contents were attained at P:C ratios of 1.14:1 and 1:5.56, respectively. When given a food choice, G. bimaculatus nymphs self‐selected

Plant Proteins as Emulsifiers in the Food Industry: Research Progress, Current Challenges and Future Trends

open access: yesJournal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, Volume 103, Issue 2, Page 99-121, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The impressive growth in the global market for plant‐based foods has a direct impact on the food industry, requiring greater efforts in product reformulation for the replacement of animal‐based ingredients, including proteins. The replacement of animal‐derived proteins frequently applied as emulsifiers in food formulations, for example ...

Shrinkage and Storage Stability of High‐Protein, High‐Overrun Frozen Desserts

open access: yesJournal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Shrinkage is a significant quality issue that affects many frozen desserts and is especially prevalent in frozen desserts with increased protein and/or air content. While the mechanism of shrinkage is not well understood, this experiment sought to understand the structural and interfacial role of dairy proteins and other surface‐active ...

The tandem–random transition of cellular patterning: proposed roles of N‐cadherin‐based orientational cell adhesions in the development, maintenance, and degeneration of the nucleus pulposus

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 268-278, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) can contribute to lower back and neck pain. In IDD, the most affected component of the intervertebral disc is the nucleus pulposus (NP). Derived from the notochord, where cells are organized into a tandem configuration, young NP cells cluster in three‐dimensional (3D) networks embedded in a gelatinous ...

The locust frontal ganglion: a central pattern generator network controlling foregut rhythmic motor patterns [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The frontal ganglion (FG) is part of the insect stomatogastric nervous system and is found in most insect orders. Previous work has shown that in the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria, the FG constitutes a major source of innervation to the ...
