Plastic Behavioral Responses to Ambient Relative Humidity Influence Aggregation in a Large Gregarious Insect

open access: yesEthology, EarlyView.
Madagascar hissing cockroaches (Gromphadorhina portentosa) demonstrated an increased probability of performing aggregation behavior at higher ambient relative humidity levels, indicating environmentally dependent plasticity in social grouping behavior.

Minimising insect mortality during grassland mowing: The potential of insect chasing devices

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Insect chasing devices have a great potential to deter arthropods prior to mowing, thereby reducing mortality. The effectiveness of mechanical flushing bars is limited and depends on driving speed, vegetation structure and species composition. The blowing device is the most independent of external factors and therefore the most effective.

Spatial prediction of Melanoplus differentialis using an ensemble of multiple species distribution models

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Ensemble model using multiple niche models was constructed to globally identify regions at high risk for Melanoplus differentialis distribution under climate change. The occurrence possibility was found to be particularly high in its native region, the United States, and high invasion risk was identified in non‐native regions, particularly in Europe ...

Integrating eDNA and community science to monitor urban Odonata diversity

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Environmental DNA captured rare and underrepresented taxa often missed by community science observations. Community science revealed adult‐stage observations across a broader temporal window. Integrating both methods improved detection across life stages, seasons, and species prevalence.

Chemical composition and nutritional profile of cicada (Meimuna opalifera Walker) at different developmental stages: Implications for functional food applications

open access: yesFood Chemistry: X
This investigation explored chemical changes in cicadas during their developmental stages (nymph, late nymph, and adult). Tocopherols (α, δ, γ) were found at a total content of 13.7 mg/g, while γ-oryzanol was observed at 2.6 mg/g, with nymphs having the ...

Native insect species should be selected for classroom rearings

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Rearing insects in the school classroom can build positive attitudes towards insects among schoolchildren, which is becoming increasingly important as insect populations decline. Identified frequent use of non‐native insect species, raising environmental and ethical concerns after classroom rearing ends.
