Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.The effects of restricted nursing (RN) and the administration of a bovine appeasing substance (BAS) on days −8 and 0 in relation to weaning were evaluated. Both strategies were effective in improving the growth performance of beef calves. Regarding welfare, BAS ‐especially on day 0‐ was more effective than RN.

Molecular bases of insect odorant receptor function: specificity and evolution
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Insect odorant receptors (ORs) are a class of chemoreceptors that insects use to detect volatile cues in their environment. In recent years, major advances in the field of structural biology have made it possible to obtain the first structures of insect ORs.

Ecography, EarlyView.Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

An Orphan Pheromone Receptor Affects the Mating Behavior of Helicoverpa armigera
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 The Lepidoptera is the second largest insect order, which has the most extensive knowledge of sex pheromones and mechanisms of pheromone communication since the identification of the first insect pheromone in Bombyx mori.

Inversion of pheromone preference optimizes foraging in C. elegans
eLife, 2021 Foraging animals have to locate food sources that are usually patchily distributed and subject to competition. Deciding when to leave a food patch is challenging and requires the animal to integrate information about food availability with cues signaling

Insect‐Derived Bioactives for Glycemic Control and Gut Health: A Review
Food Frontiers, EarlyView.Insect‐derived bioactive compounds (e.g., peptides, polysaccharides) effectively regulate blood glucose through dual mechanisms: directly inhibiting carbohydrate‐digesting enzymes and glucose transporters, and indirectly modulating gut microbiota to enhance intestinal barrier integrity.

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Bark beetles are small insects that inhabit the bark of trees. When their population increases excessively, they can weaken the trees and cause their death. In México, federal regulations obligate forest landowners to carry out sanitary logging to control bark beetle outbreaks in adherence to official procedures.

Regulatory mechanisms of reproduction in locusts and grasshoppers
New Plant Protection, EarlyView.Regulatory networks composed of numerous coding and noncoding genes play crucial roles in the reproduction of locusts and grasshoppers. This review integrates mechanistic advances in reproductive regulation, highlighting environmentally adaptive pathways and providing prospective targets for eco‐friendly pesticides.
