Enrichment of Gluten‐Free Fresh Pasta With Cricket Flour: Technological and Nutritional Quality

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Gluten‐free fresh pasta was formulated with increasing levels of Acheta domesticus flour (0%–10%). Nutritional composition, cooking performance, color, texture, and in vitro digestibility were evaluated. Consumer perception revealed acceptable sensory quality up to 5.8% inclusion, highlighting cricket flour as a promising ingredient for protein ...

Corticosterone Under Experimental Manipulation of Nutrition and Parasite Burden in a Wild Rodent System

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 7, Page 749-758, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Environmental pressures shape survival and life‐history dynamics partly by triggering the release of glucocorticoids, whose short‐term benefits but long‐term costs make it essential to understand what drives their levels. Here, we used an experimental manipulation of two environmental stressors—food availability and parasite burden—to directly

Convergent digestive adaptation to resource limitation in an insular lizard across a microgeographic archipelago

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1372-1385, August 2026.
Replicated mainland–islet populations of the Skyros wall lizard reveal consistent divergence in digestive physiology, including gut morphology, passage time, digestive efficiency and enzyme activity. These results show how ecological variation in resource availability can shape digestive performance across populations in insular environments.

Understanding biological control function and trophic interaction dynamics of an artificially released predatory bug by DNA metabarcoding

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1633-1648, August 2026.
This study investigated the dietary composition of Sycanus bifidus, a generalist predator of the assassin bug that is artificially released into citrus orchards, and uncovered its trophic structure across various pest species using metabarcoding‐based molecular gut content analysis.

Ecological and social factors lead to variation in parental care between sexes in a burying beetle

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1618-1632, August 2026.
We experimentally investigated the effects of ecological (resource availability and interspecific competition) and social factors (intraspecific competition) on parental care and reproductive success in the burying beetle Nicrophorus vespilloides. Our results showed that males and females adjust their parental care based on resource availability and ...

The Optimization of Mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) Sacrifice Methods and Examination of Sacrificed Mealworm Post-Cooking Characteristics

open access: yesFood Science of Animal Resources
Edible insects are gaining notable attention as an alternative human dietary protein source. However, despite its importance in food preparation, an optimal sacrifice method for insects is under research. Therefore, this study sought a suitable sacrifice method for mealworm (Tenebrio molitor), a representative edible insect.
