Understanding biological control function and trophic interaction dynamics of an artificially released predatory bug by DNA metabarcoding

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
This study investigated the dietary composition of Sycanus bifidus, a generalist predator of the assassin bug that is artificially released into citrus orchards, and uncovered its trophic structure across various pest species using metabarcoding‐based molecular gut content analysis.

Effects of elevation and microclimatic temperatures on butterfly–flower interaction networks in a Mediterranean mountain range

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 93-105, January 2026.
We tested how elevation and microclimate influenced butterfly–flower interaction networks at the hottest time of year in a Mediterranean mountain range. Interactions were dominated at all sites by one or two abundant butterfly and flower species, but butterfly networks were more robust to plant species loss at higher elevations. Nectar availability may

Draper‐ATG3 Interaction Positively Regulates Autophagy to Mediate Silk Gland Degradation in Bombyx mori

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 45, December 4, 2025.
Draper is evolutionarily conserved across most insect species. Loss of Draper inhibits autophagy activation, delaying middle silk gland degradation in the silkworm during metamorphosis. Draper interacts with autophagy ‐ related protein 3 (ATG3) to orchestrate autophagosome formation—a process essential for silk gland degradation during the larval‐pupal
