Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Pollinator Dependency and Regional Climate Affect Crop Yield Development Under Climate Change
Ecology and EvolutionClimate change is severely impacting insects and flowering plants in different ways. While effects on plants, pollinators and their interactions have been amply discussed, subsequent impacts on pollination are rarely assessed.

30 years of research on insect galls in Brazil: a scientometric review
Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2018 The first systematic studies on insect galls in Brazil date to the early 20th century, after which research on insect galls remained dormant in the country, with interest not reviving until the 1980s.

Chitin‐Derived Carbon‐Metal Functional Materials
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Functional carbon materials are synthesized from combination of biopolymer (chitin) and iron precursors. The resultant material exhibits superior surface area and adsorptive properties compared to carbon materials synthesized directly from pure chitin.

An Effector TaCRVP From Tuta Absoluta Oral Secretion Impairs H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>-Mediated Plant Defense by Targeting Tomato SlCAT2. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)The Tuta absoluta salivary effector TaCRVP subverts tomato immunity by hijacking host catalase SlCAT2. Through a sophisticated dual mechanism, TaCRVP simultaneously promotes SlCAT2 tetramerization for activation and blocks its SlAdBiL‐mediated degradation for stabilization.

Plant-mediated effects in the Brassicaceae on the performance and behaviour of parasitoids [PDF]
, 2009 Direct and indirect plant defences are well studied, particularly in the Brassicaceae. Glucosinolates (GS) are secondary plant compounds characteristic in this plant family. They play an important role in defence against herbivores and pathogens.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Engineered red blood cell‐derived extracellular vesicles (eRBCEVs) are synthesized via controlled microfluidic assembly from native RBC lipids, enabling tunable encapsulation of proteins, nucleic acids, nanoparticles, and viral vectors. The platform demonstrates reproducible nanoscale architecture, preserved membrane composition, and functional cargo ...

Molecular interaction network of plant-herbivorous insects
Advanced AgrochemThe interactions between plants and herbivorous insects are complex and involve multiple factors, driving species formation and leading to the beginning of co-evolution and diversification of plant and insect molecules.

The Impact of the Absence of Aliphatic Glucosinolates on Insect Herbivory in Arabidopsis [PDF]
, 2008 Aliphatic glucosinolates are compounds which occur in high concentrations in Arabidopsis thaliana and other Brassicaceae species. They are important for the resistance of the plant to pest insects.
