Becoming climate sentinels

American Ethnologist, EarlyView.
Abstract In South Korea, forest scientists refashion themselves as “climate sentinels” as they confront subtle yet disquieting shifts in plant seasonality brought about by climate change. Unlike traditional sentinels, who watch for external threats from a frontier, climate sentinels face ecological anomalies and surprises—such as untimely flowering ...

A Cross‐Sectional Study of Patient Views on Acceptability of Olfactory Implants

Clinical Otolaryngology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Unlike other chronic conditions, effective therapies for smell and taste disorders (SATDs) remain scarce. Olfactory implants are an emerging area of therapy aimed at restoring the sense of smell through electrical stimulation of the olfactory pathway.

Lower Olfactory Sensitivity in Retronasal Olfaction

Clinical Otolaryngology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To directly compare orthonasal and retronasal olfactory function using the recently introduced odorant containers, which enable retronasal stimulation without gustatory or somatosensory involvement. Design Experimental study employing a within‐subjects design. Setting Laboratory‐based olfactory testing facility.

Host Detection by Cuckoo Bumblebees: Choice Experiments Reveal Non‐Visual Cues Support Host Detection, but Accuracy Is Low

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.

Behavioral Responses of Doryctobracon areolatus and Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) to Host Fruits Exploited by Heterospecific Competitors

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Female parasitoids can lower competitive costs by detecting rival‐species cues on shared host fruits (host habitats). We compared native Doryctobracon areolatus and introduced Diachasmimorpha longicaudata on guava fruits infested with Anastrepha fraterculus.

A Smelly Conflict: The Role of Olfactory Information in the Interaction of Insect Herbivores and Their Natural Enemies

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

Two Metschnikowia nectar yeast species have similar volatile profiles but elicit differential foraging in bee pollinators

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.
