Pest‐preservation paradox among insects
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.The pest‐preservation paradox is a non‐binary perspective that insects range from those that are harmful and requiring management on the one side, to those requiring conservation intervention on the opposite end of the spectrum. Importantly, the vast majority of insects occur somewhere in the center of the two extremes, and their position along the ...

Trans‐oceanic migration and wind utilization by Amur Falcons (Falco amurensis)
Ibis, EarlyView.The Amur Falcon Falco amurensis performs one of the world's longest raptor migrations, involving a non‐stop crossing of the Indian Ocean of approximately 2800 km. While the existence of this route is known, the mechanistic details of wind exploitation and seasonal navigation remain to be fully elucidated.

RNA activation in insects: From emerging evidence to molecular applications
Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.Canonical RNA activation involves small RNAs interacting with promoter sequences, but there is also evidence of non‐canonical RNAa in eukaryotes. Emerging evidence suggests the presence of RNAa in insects. RNAa can be utilised as a tool for functional genomic studies in insects.
