Novel Worker‐Like Behavior Observed in Gynes of the Social Parasite Tetramorium microgyna
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Our article reports, to our knowledge, the first observations of inquiline gynes performing worker tasks for their host colony. We dissected these gynes to establish that they were all unmated. We hypothesize that nest excavation by social parasites represents an artifact of a non‐parasitic past.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.We conclude that horizon scanning provides a rapid, affordable and successful mechanism to predict the arrival of high‐risk INNS. We highlight the importance of citizen science, including biological recording, and of local expertise for detecting and documenting arrival of INNS.

Cosmovision as Cognitive Technology: The Case of Mesoamerican Medicinal Knowledge
Topics in Cognitive Science, Volume 18, Issue 1, Page 92-110, January 2026.Abstract We examine the use of cognitive technologies in the acquisition and retention of botanical and medicinal knowledge. We focus on the Cruz‐Badianus codex, a 16th‐century Nahua (Aztec) herbarium which discusses the use of plants for a range of illnesses.

Workers and alate queens of Solenopsis geminata share qualitatively similar but quantitatively different venom alkaloid chemistry [PDF]
, 2015 Solenopsis geminata group (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) encompasses ant species commonly called fire ants because of their painful sting. The many physiological effects of the venom are caused by 2-methyl-6-alkyl and/or alkenylpiperidine alkaloids.

Wildlife Letters, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 173-193, December 2025.Spectacled flying‐fox Pteropus conspicillatus populations have declined so seriously over two decades that they are now endangered. Inaction has allowed threats to increase. Extreme heat events are now a lethal reality, habitat loss continues almost unabated, and pressure to disperse roosts is ever‐present. Obtaining resources and taking action to help

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 6, Page 1954-1968, December 2025.Abstract The invasive white‐footed ant Technomyrmex difficilis has emerged as a rising pest in several regions, yet its invasion dynamics remain underexplored. This species outcompetes native ants and causes agricultural losses by tending pest insects, including aphids and mealybugs.

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2542-2583, December 2025.ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.
