Release of multicomponent pheromones from porous fibres

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 9, Page 4777-4786, September 2026.
Abstract Surface engineering empowers a polymer exclusion net to serve dual functions: physical exclusion and pheromonal release, allowing for pest control in agricultural crops. In previous work, a net woven from porous fibres releasing simple, single‐component alarm pheromones showed promising results in field tests.

Human‐Mediated Dispersal Drives Global Invasion of Halyomorpha halys: A COI Haplotype and Mantel Test Analysis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We assembled a global mitochondrial COI dataset of 1039 sequences from 15 countries to assess genetic diversity and test whether patterns of genetic differentiation in the invasive brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) are consistent with isolation by distance (IBD) or isolation by environment (IBE).

From Suitability to Invasion Risk: Integrating Correlative and Mechanistic Models for Predicting the Potential Distribution of the Red Palm Weevil

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
The invasive Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (RPW) causes severe economic and ecological damage to palm systems worldwide. This study develops a hybrid modeling framework integrating correlative ecological niche models and a temperature‐driven mechanistic risk index, demonstrating superior predictive accuracy (sensitivity = 0.98) compared to individual ...

Materials and Music: Selective Imperfection as a Generative Framework for Analysis, Creativity and Discovery

Interdisciplinary Materials, Volume 5, Issue 5, Page 834-867, September 2026.
Vibrations in matter, from spider webs to molecules, water to flames, share a grammar with music. We propose that creativity emerges when constraints force expansion beyond existing possibilities. Selective imperfection restores balance, enabling invention.

Binuclear Copper‐Dependent Oxidative Enzymes Involved in Fungal Natural Product Modifications

Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society, Volume 73, Issue 9, Page 1278-1290, September 2026.
This article summarizes recent biochemical characterizations of a new enzyme family named by the authors as binuclear copper‐dependent oxidative enzymes (BiNCOs). Found in fungal natural product biosynthesis, BiNCOs catalyze diverse CH functionalization reactions, including C(sp3)H halogenation, C(sp3)H hydroxylation, C(sp3)O macrocyclization, and ...

Pumping Venom: Valvilli Architecture in Diacamma (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) and Implications for Stinger Functionality

Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 9, September 2026.
The insect stinger is among the best‐known venom‐delivery structures, yet its valvilli—paired flaps within the valve chamber—remain poorly understood. Using micro‐CT, histology, serial block‐face SEM and CLSM in the ant Diacamma nr. indicum, we show that the valvilli are not uniformly flexible flaps but are materially differentiated structures with ...
