How Do Group Size and Social Context Affect Per‐Capita Behavioral Responses in a Nasute Termite?
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 639-645, July 2026.Group living is often assumed to increase individual behavioral activity in eusocial insects through social facilitation. Using controlled bioassays with the termite Nasutitermes corniger, we show that increasing group size instead reduces per‐capita behavioral frequency, consistent with greater behavioral specialization. While antennation and grooming

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 670-684, July 2026.We assessed Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) performance on five common pasture plant species. Larvae consumed more dock, plantain and chicory per day than red or white clover, but with lower conversion efficiencies. Feeding on red clover reduced weights and egg laying, and lengthened development times compared with plantain.

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.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 715-724, July 2026.The emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis, threatens ash trees in North America and Europe. To assess the role of temperature on EAB reproduction, we reared adults at one of four temperatures (12°C, 15°C, 18°C, and 21°C) and measured reproductive success.

Offspring Dependency Is Not Reflected in the Social Immunity of Three Burying Beetle Species
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 625-638, July 2026.Nicrophorus pustulatus, Nicrophorus vespilloides, and Nicrophorus orbicollis are three burying beetle species that differ both in their ecology and in the dependency of their offspring on parental care. This gradient of offspring dependency might be reflected in the parents' social immunity capabilities and/or investment.

A method to estimate weed canopy coverage using Canopeo in soybean
Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, June 2026.Abstract Weed growth measurements, such as weed population density and biomass, are valuable but often time‐consuming, labor intensive, and destructive to collect. This study evaluated an innovative method using Canopeo, a mobile application, for its ability to estimate weed canopy coverage and compare it to traditional measurements in soybean [Glycine
