Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Female Bombus vestalis cuckoo bumblebees were introduced to a flight arena containing four identical opaque boxes, featuring slits to release volatiles from the bumblebees inside. When only one box contained a developing host colony, the cuckoos were able to locate their hosts among the four boxes with 66.2% accuracy.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Insect herbivores rely on olfactory cues to locate natural‐enemy‐free spaces for feeding or ovipositing; conversely, natural enemies detect herbivores by chemical cues from damaged plants or from the herbivores themselves. Based on the reviewed findings, we suggest that herbivores and natural enemies converge towards using specific olfactory cues. This

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Yeasts that specialize in flower nectar play an important role in pollination ecology. Metschnikowia reukaufii and Metschnikowia koreensis were the most prevalent nectar yeasts found in our field sites. Bee pollinators exhibited different behavioural responses to nectar yeasts in field experiments. Bees visited more flowers with M.

How the Sea Salt Chocolate Cookie Became a Thing: The Role of Flavor Pairing in Obesity. [PDF]
Obesity (Silver Spring)Proposed framework illustrating how flavor pairing and multisensory flavor architecture may sustain hedonic eating through enhanced palatability, reward preservation, delayed sensory‐specific satiety, and post‐ingestive signaling, thereby promoting excess energy intake and obesity risk.

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.There was a positive relationship between adult preference and larval performance. However, the strength of the relationship ranged from weak to strong depending on the measure of adult preference. The adult beetle showed substantial flexibility in host plant selection and equal performance across most thistle hosts.

The effect of caste, mass and colony identity on rescue priorities in the red imported fire ant
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Fire ants will rescue brood when the brood becomes trapped underground. We find that rescuers may use odor cues to locate trapped rescue targets. We demonstrate that a single reproductive larva is preferentially rescued over a single worker larva, but that caches of multiple worker larvae receive equal treatment as a single reproductive larva.

A lipid‐sensitive food choice behavior influences aging outcomes from a longevity‐promoting diet
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.C. elegans are exposed to a variety of bacteria in their natural environment and must be able to distinguish between beneficial and detrimental food sources. We show that C. elegans exposed to the bacterium from their natural habitat, Methylobacterium, disrupts lipid homeostasis, causing worms to avoid this bacterial species and choose the laboratory ...

Ibis, EarlyView.While many visual predators feed exclusively during the day, others exploit foraging opportunities at night, although the efficiency with which they do so is strongly influenced by ambient light levels. We investigated the influence of variation in nocturnal light on the foraging behaviour of a small pelagic seabird, the European Storm‐petrel ...

Seasonal variation in preen gland secretions of Tristram's Storm Petrel (Hydrobates tristrami)
Ibis, EarlyView.Preen gland secretions are known to vary depending on sex, season and species and are thought to play essential roles in avian life history. However, their chemical composition and functions remain largely unclear in Procellariiform seabirds with well‐developed olfactory senses. Storm petrels, known for their distinctive body odour, may use preen gland

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.Host associations are primary drivers of genomic divergence, with clear phylogenetic separation observed between strains associated with Hypera and Sitona weevil hosts. Genomic diversity aligns with reproductive modes: sexually reproducing ancestral lineages maintain high heterozygosity, while derived asexual strains exhibit reduced heterozygosity and ...
