CDC42‐Effector Proteins Regulate Higher Order Structure of Septins Required for CNS Myelin Integrity

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 3, March 2026.
CDC42‐effector proteins 1/2 are present in CNS myelin. They facilitate the higher order structure of myelin septin filaments. Their loss impairs septin‐dependent scaffolding of myelin. Myelin outfoldings do not cause secondary neuropathology per se. ABSTRACT The regular structure of CNS myelin requires specialized structural proteins, including septin ...

A Modelling Framework to Estimate Vector Dispersal and Disease Spread in an Important Agricultural Pathosystem

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
A model of aphid‐vectored BYDV highlights the importance of the interaction between aphid and viral genetic and species diversity on the risk presented by crop disease. The modelling framework offers a tool to explore vector–virus–host interactions and both conventional and natural controls in a spatial context.

Making Learning Personally Relevant: Sensemaking Assets Used in Families' Discussions While Using a Pollinator‐Focused Mobile Augmented Reality App

Science Education, Volume 110, Issue 2, Page 525-542, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This study seeks to better understand the unique sensemaking assets that rural families weave into their outdoor learning experience while using a location‐based mobile app focused on healthy habitats for solitary bees. The project included mobile augmented reality (AR) technologies, which are increasingly used as educational tools at informal

Polarization vision and the physiological basis for trichromatic vision in Philaenus spumarius: Understanding host‐seeking behaviour in insect vectors for Xylella fastidiosa control

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 2, Page 503-519, March 2026.
We investigated the role of vision in host‐seeking behaviour by Philaenus spumarius, the main European vector of Xylella fastidiosa, through an integrated anatomical, optical, physiological, and behavioural study. Our data highlight that the spittlebug uses visual cues, including polarized light, which may aid in detecting the polarized reflections ...

Don’t be Square: Why do Chemistry and Nature Build Hexagons?

CHIMIA
This article distinguishes the role of hexagonal motifs in close-packed solid-state structures and in graphite and graphene; we then illustrate how hexagonal cells in the nests of honey bees and paper wasps minimize construction materials while ...

New Allergens Approved by the WHO/IUIS Allergen Nomenclature Sub‐Committee in 2021–2024 and Their Significance for Future Diagnostics, Regulation, and Research. An EAACI Task Force Report

Allergy, Volume 81, Issue 3, Page 684-699, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The WHO/IUIS Allergen Nomenclature Sub‐Committee is an international body of experts that maintains the systematic nomenclature of allergenic proteins by assigning official names to newly identified allergens submitted by researchers. Here, we summarize the data on new allergens approved between 2021 and 2024.

Orchard Management Influences Predation of Halyomorpha halys Eggs

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 3, Page 202-211, March 2026.
We investigated predation of eggs of the invasive stink bug Halyomorpha halys on apple trees in conventional, organic, and extensively managed Dutch orchards. Predation exceeded 40% in extensively managed orchards but was only about 10% in conventional and organic ones. We used camera traps to reveal natural enemies that may contribute to H.

Proteinaceous Resource Distribution by a Single Foundress of the Paper Wasp Polistes jokahamae (Hymenoptera, Vespidae)

Sociobiology
Nests are structures built by animals to protect their own offspring from predation, parasitism, and harsh climatic conditions. However, these structures are generally costly to build and maintain.

Toward a global repository of insect traits (GRIT)

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 2, Page 253-267, March 2026.
Biodiversity loss is accelerating, yet insect conservation is hindered by the absence of a centralised, comprehensive trait database. We propose the GRIT, a FAIR, open‐access platform uniting datasets and collaborators worldwide. GRIT will harness advanced computational tools for trait acquisition and imputation, enabling large‐scale ecological ...
