Aggression Is Induced by Resource Limitation in the Monarch Caterpillar
iScience, 2020 Summary: Food represents a limiting resource for the growth and developmental progression of many animal species. As a consequence, competition over food, space, or other resources can trigger territoriality and aggressive behavior.

Flight of the dragons: a global review of migration in Odonata
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2134-2157, October 2026.ABSTRACT Insects are the most abundant and ecologically important animal migrants. Yet, we know relatively little about the patterns and processes underlying insect migration. Dragonflies (Anisoptera) and damselflies (Zygoptera) comprise the ancient insect order Odonata, whose ancestors were the first organisms to fly on Earth.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.In a common garden experiment of sacred fir (Abies religiosa), nearly all seedlings planted at 3400 and 3000 m survived, but only 6% survival at 2600 m (representing possible warmer and drier future conditions). When comparing low elevation survivors to higher elevation seedlings representing the initial population, PCAdapt identified 2202 outlier SNPs

A Binary Stellar Oscillation Optimizer for 0–1 Knapsack Problems
Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.The stellar oscillation optimizer (SOO) is a novel nature‐inspired metaheuristic algorithm, which draws its inspiration from the motion of stellar objects in the universe. Despite its excellent performance in continuous optimization, the standard SOO framework faces limitations when addressing discrete optimization problems like the 0–1 knapsack ...
