Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.Heavy Amblyomma latum infestation transmitted haemoparasites to a captive African rock python, causing anorexia, facial swelling and dysecdysis. Manual tick removal, povidone‐iodine cleansing and a single oral dose of ivermectin cleared both ecto‐ and haemoparasites.

Entomological Research, Volume 56, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Subalpine conifers such as Abies koreana E.H.Wilson (Korean fir) play a significant ecological role but are increasingly endangered due to the effects of climate change, including the high prevalence of insect pests. This study identified for the first time, a notorious aphid pest on newly developed needles and twigs of A.

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

Offspring Dependency Is Not Reflected in the Social Immunity of Three Burying Beetle Species
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 625-638, July 2026.Nicrophorus pustulatus, Nicrophorus vespilloides, and Nicrophorus orbicollis are three burying beetle species that differ both in their ecology and in the dependency of their offspring on parental care. This gradient of offspring dependency might be reflected in the parents' social immunity capabilities and/or investment.

Hairy Roadblock: Stem Trichomes Impede Herbivore Movement in a Species and Instar‐Dependent Manner
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 728-735, July 2026.ABSTRACT Plants have evolved to deploy a vast set of defence mechanisms against insect herbivores, including physical barriers like leaf trichomes with pre and post ingestive effects. Yet, the role of stem trichomes in plant‐herbivore interactions, particularly mobility dynamics, is poorly understood.

Microanatomy of larval mouthparts and sensilla Larval and Postlarval Mouthparts of the American Lobster, Homarus americanus: Stage III First Maxillae and Stage IV Third Maxillipeds [PDF]
Homarus americanus, better known as the American Lobster, goes through several life-history phases before becoming an adult, including: three planktonic larval stages (stages I-III), a postlarval phase (the planktonic postlarval stage IV) and the ...

, 2001 Ant mandible movements cover a wide range of forces, velocities and precision. The key to the versatility of mandible functions is the mandible closer muscle. In ants, this muscle is generally composed of distinct muscle fiber types that differ in morphology and contractile properties.
