Communications BiologyInsects have a powerful olfactory system that is far more selective and sensitive than artificial detectors. Insect odorant receptors (ORs) are key components of the system, which are ligand-gated ion channels comprising a specific odorant-sensing OR and

The Role of Perfumes in Surgical Wound Infections and Wound Healing: A Case–Control Study
International Wound Journal, Volume 23, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT A common complication of post‐surgical procedures is surgical site infections (SSIs), and wound healing can be gravely affected by these SSIs. Perfumes are known for their use in personal hygiene; however, their role in surgical wound healing and SSIs has not been thoroughly studied.

An odorant receptor for a key odor constituent of ambergris
Communications BiologyAmbergris, a substance derived from the digestive system of sperm whales, has been valued for centuries for its unique aromatic properties. However, historical accounts indicate that certain human populations, particularly in East Asia, utilized ambergris without regard for its odor quality.

Resource Availability Modulates Gene Expression Across Life Stages in a Migratory Butterfly
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 5, March 2026.ABSTRACT Natural populations are in constant need of balancing resource allocation to compensate for seasonal environmental variation. In many insects, a well‐established trade‐off between migration and reproduction exists. While this trade‐off has been characterised phenotypically for decades, the underlying regulatory pathways are poorly understood ...

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 6, March 2026.ABSTRACT The Western honey bee (Apis mellifera) is a globally important pollinator. Its health in natural and managed populations is compromised by numerous factors, including pesticides. Neonicotinoid pesticides are widely used even though they can cause a variety of detrimental effects.

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 29-39, March 2026.Colour‐coded perlites were treated with specific fatty acids or mono‐, di‐ or triglycerides as perlite pickup cues for laboratory and field colonies of western carpenter ants. In laboratory and field experiments, ant colonies were offered multiple choices of these colour‐coded lipid‐treated perlites for pickup and transport to the nest.

Molecular insights into volatile organic compound sensing and signaling in plants
The Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 6, March 2026.SUMMARY Plants interact with their surrounding environment through the perception of a vast and structurally diverse array of volatile organic compounds (VOCs); however, the molecular mechanisms involved remain mostly unknown. Despite the large number of VOCs emitted and perceived by plants, only a small number of phylogenetically distinct, but often ...
