A Set of Novel Venom Proteins Enables Parasitoid Wasps to Exploit Older Hosts and Coexist with Competitors

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, 19 January 2026.
This study elucidates a molecular mechanism enabling species coexistence between parasitoid wasps, showing how Asobara japonica uses a set of novel venom proteins to delay host development and exploit older hosts, thereby achieving temporal niche partitioning with Leptopilina drosophilae. Abstract Interspecific competition can drive species coexistence

Amphibian Strategies Against Attacks by Flies: Host‐Specificity and Threats

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Species interactions between Diptera flies and amphibians play a significant role in tropical ecosystems, but their ecology and evolution remain understudied. This review explores the costs flies impose on amphibians, such as pathogen transmission and disruption of communication systems, and highlights the evolutionary strategies employed by both ...

SQLi‐ScanEval: A Framework for Design and Evaluation of SQLi Detection Using Vulnerability and Penetration Testing Scanners

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2026.
This paper proposes SQLi‐ScanEval Framework, a standardized SQLi detection system that integrates vulnerability and penetration testing scanners into a standardized framework. It tested seven prominent SQLi vulnerability scanners including OWASP ZAP, Wapiti, Vega, Acunetix, Invicti, Burp Suite, and Arachni on two prominent vulnerable testing ...

Modulators of Diacylglycerol Kinase Activity: A Review of Advances and Challenges

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, Volume 46, Issue 1, Page 149-175, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Catalyzing the conversion of diacylglycerol (DAG) in phosphatidic acid (PA), diacylglycerol kinases (DGKs) play a pivotal role in all the physiological processes modulated by these two bioactive lipids, such as lipid metabolism and immune regulation.

Bottom–up and top–down diversification: asymmetric processes over space and time

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Coevolution in trophic interactions is often considered as a major factor underlying diversification in interacting species. Most focus hitherto has however been on bottom–up processes where host‐associated differentiation drives diversification, and less on top–down processes through enemy‐associated differentiation.

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

open access: yesCHIMIA
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 ...

Understanding Pollination in Urban Food Production: The Importance of Data Validation and Participant Feedback for Citizen Science Project Design

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 157-175, January 2026.
Urban agriculture depends on insect pollination, but knowledge gaps persist due to difficulties accessing diverse growing spaces. We developed a citizen science approach for monitoring insect visits to crops and compared grower‐collected data to that of a trained researcher while also gathering participant feedback.

Design of Novel Exponential PDN Controller via Quadratic Interpolation Optimiser for Nonlinear and Unstable Ball and Beam System

open access: yesIET Control Theory &Applications, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This study presents a novel exponential proportional‐derivative controller with filter (exp‐PDN) for stabilising the nonlinear and underactuated ball and beam system. Unlike conventional PID‐based approaches, the proposed controller removes the integral term, resulting in faster transient responses and improved robustness.
