Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The growing convergence between artificial intelligence (AI) and biological sciences has revealed important conceptual parallels between computational systems and ecological processes. This study proposes a systems‐based framework to move beyond purely metaphorical comparisons by distinguishing three analytical levels of correspondence between

Parasitoid speciation and diversification
Current Opinion in Insect ScienceParasitoid wasps may well be the most species-rich animal group on Earth, and host-parasitoid interactions may thereby be one of the most common types of species interactions. Understanding the major mechanisms underlying diversification in parasitoids should be a high priority, not the least in order to predict consequences from high extinction rates ...

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction
Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

Functional variation in butterfly egg pore traits: The potential role of climate
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Immobile eggs of terrestrial animals are exposed to variable environmental conditions. Insect egg pores, critical for gas exchange (aeropyles) and fertilisation (micropyles), are ecologically important yet understudied.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Atmospheric nitrogen deposition disrupts plant–herbivore interactions, but its impact on leaf volatile organic compounds (VOCs)‐mediated multi‐trophic herbivore resistance remains unclear within the context of plant invasion. In this study, we initially investigated the
