Gut Microbiomes of Two Bamboo Locusts Reveal Divergent Metabolic Potentials

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We compared the gut microbiota of two bamboo‐feeding locust pests, Ceracris kiangsu and Ceracris nigricornis, using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing for six geographic populations of C. kiangsu and publicly available C. nigricornis datasets. Both species were dominated by Firmicutes and Proteobacteria, but showed significant differences in community ...

Characterization of digestive α-amylase in the midgut of willow leaf beetle Plagiodera versicolora (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

Journal of Crop Protection, 2014
Willow leaf beetle, Plagiodera versicolora is an important pest of willow trees that feeds on the leaves both as larvae and as adults. -Amylases (EC 3.2.1.1) are the major insect digestive enzymes that catalyze the endohydrolysis of long -1,4-glucan ...

Evolution of the α‐Glucosidase Gene Family in Apoidea

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study traces the origin of the α‐glucosidase gene family in bees back to approximately 140 million years ago, revealing that its evolutionary history closely aligns with the rise of angiosperms and coevolution. Furthermore, by identifying the core members Hbg1–3 and 28 key functional sites driven by positive selection, the study systematically ...

Bacterial indole‐3‐butyric acid promotes fish PUFA synthesis

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 3, September 2026.
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are essential nutrients in aquatic products, yet the contribution of gut microbiota‐derived metabolites to PUFA biosynthesis remains largely unknown. In this study, a gut‐derived Bacillus strain was identified to enhance PUFA accumulation via indole‐3‐butyric acid (IBA) production.

Cognitive assessment in children with intestinal failure on and weaned off parenteral nutrition

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, Volume 83, Issue 3, Page 404-411, September 2026.
Abstract Objectives Children with intestinal failure (IF) are vulnerable to adverse cognitive outcomes. We assessed intelligence quotient (IQ) and identified associated factors. Methods Multicentre international cross‐sectional study in children with IF and weaned children, treated at Erasmus MC Sophia Children's Hospital, Amsterdam UMC Emma Children's

DAMPs, PAMPs, and Alarmins: From Mechanism to Therapy

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.
This review synthesizes the expanding biology of PAMPs and DAMPs, from their molecular sources and sensing mechanisms to regulatory networks that govern inflammation and homeostasis. Spanning from classical immune activation to trained immunity and interorgan communication, we highlight the interplay between PAMPs and DAMPs and their context‐dependent ...

Bt agave: why it is time to explore a new biotechnological frontier

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8053-8063, September 2026.
Drylands cover 41% of Earth, requiring sustainable crops. Agave, drought‐ and heat‐adapted, offers high‐value products with low water needs. Pests limit yield, yet Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry proteins, successful in other plants, remain unexploited in Agave.

17‐epi‐Melianodiol, a new protolimonoid from Melia azedarach fruits, exhibits larvicidal activity and is associated with oxidative imbalance and midgut epithelial damage in Aedes aegypti larvae

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 9240-9248, September 2026.
The bio‐guided phytochemical study resulted in the new compound 17‐epi‐melianodiol. The compound eliminated 100% of Aedes aegypti larvae at 100 ppm, causing pronounced morphological changes, cuticular damage, and extensive vacuolization. Abstract BACKGROUND In Brazil, Aedes aegypti is the primary vector of arboviruses such as dengue, chikungunya ...
