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.

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 6, June 2026.Algerian royal jelly from native honey bees shows chemical diversity influenced by geography and subspecies. Lyophilization preserves key compounds, including 10‐HDA and phenolics. Biological assays reveal modest antioxidant activity and selective cytotoxicity against Reh leukemia cells, while anti‐inflammatory effects are limited.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.In wood‐feeding insects, the presence of elemental composition suggests a potential nutritional deficiency. In this regard, the research aimed to examine the ecological stoichiometric mismatches between wood‐feeding insects and their tree hosts, analysing the components and stoichiometric mismatches of the forest ecosystem, as well as the role of soil.

Colonization and spatiotemporal distribution of bruchid pests in lentil and faba bean fields
Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 6, Page 5780-5794, June 2026.This study of 104 fields identifies Bruchus signaticornis in lentils and B. rufimanus in faba beans as the sole grain‐damaging species. Their uniform distribution within fields and the strong effect of regulatory factors on larvae and egg survival emphasize the need for species‐specific, phenology‐based and spatially informed integrated pest management

A public mid‐density genotyping platform for pecan [Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch]
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract Pecan [Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch] is the fifth‐largest tree nut in global cultivation, with 80% of production occurring in the southern states of the United States. Despite the economic and health benefits of pecans, there is a lack of genomic tools available to breeders for crop improvement. The pecan breeding community is small,

Landscape heterogeneity is an important predictor of snake–human encounters in Eswatini
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.Our results suggest that large‐scale land use changes, such as disintegration of natural habitat into smaller patches of habitat, are associated with a significant increased likelihood of encountering a snake. This has important implications for both snakebite prevention and landscape conservation in southern Africa as habitats change and populations ...

Amendment of Potting Soil With Black Soldier Fly Byproducts Affects Fungus Gnat Development
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 6, Page 495-507, June 2026.The study's three experiments were conducted in accordance with the development stages of fungus gnats, with adults emerging from the four treatment substrates and being caught on sticky cards as a common indicator. The treatments were formed from peat‐free potting soil, either pure or supplemented with combinations of byproducts from black soldier fly
