Take flight: predation risk induces wing polyphenism and dispersal in the aphid Myzus persicae
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Predator risk above a critical density induces winged morphs in Myzus persicae, promoting dispersal and reducing predation compared with wingless aphids. This density‐dependent phenotypic plasticity enhances survival but may compromise biological control by facilitating aphid dispersal.

Regulating Copper Nuclearity in Metal–Organic Frameworks for the Hydrogenation of Carbon Dioxide
Small Methods, EarlyView.CO2 hydrogenation on Cu‐metalated MOFs at gas–solid and liquid–solid interfaces depend strongly on the nuclearity of the Cu, which can be adjusted via the density of defects and the synthesis process. In both reaction regimes, methanol formation is favored on Cu clusters rather than on isolated Cu sites, highlighting the critical role of metal ...

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction
Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

Faster and targeted raster imaging through non‐rectangular scanning
Journal of Applied Crystallography, EarlyView.A highly efficient algorithm for raster scanning an area of non‐rectangular shapes is presented. This method can significantly reduce the required scanning time for e.g. microbeam X‐ray diffraction and X‐ray fluorescence scanning microscopy.Many materials are spatially heterogenous and it is important to characterize this heterogeneity, which can be ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Sexual cannibalism (SC), where one mating partner consumes the other in the context of mating, is especially prevalent among spiders. However, the evolution of SC in spiders is still not fully understood. We review key hypotheses for SC and explore how female‐initiated SC has driven the evolution of various male counter‐adaptations to mitigate its ...

MANTIDS (MANTODEA) FROM PELJEŠAC PENINSULA, SOUTHERN CROATIA [PDF]
, 2014 Istraživanja bogomoljki provedena su na 9 lokaliteta smještenih duž sjeverne i južne obale te unutrašnjosti poluotoka Pelješca (južna Hrvatska). Tehnikom košnje pomoću entomološke mrežice i vizualnim opažanjima bogomoljke su proučavane od 27. srpnja do 8.

Motivational trade‐offs between reproduction and survival in two sexes of praying mantids may influence the occurrence of sexual cannibalism, a behaviour in which one mate consumes the other before, during or immediately after mating.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Spatiotemporal distribution of odontocete cetaceans within China's Jiushan Archipelago National Nature Reserve was investigated. Fishing vessels significantly reduced both cetacean acoustic detections and feeding activity, whereas gillnets selectively suppressed cetacean feeding behavior without affecting overall cetacean detection rates.
