Multifunctional Properties of Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) Essential Oil: Antimicrobial, Antibiofilm, and Insecticidal Effects

open access: yesFlavour and Fragrance Journal, Volume 41, Issue 5, Page 1245-1261, September 2026.
Unveiling the potential of Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) essential oil. ABSTRACT This study investigated the antimicrobial, antibiofilm, and insecticidal properties of wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens L.) essential oil (GPEO). The EO was chemically characterized by GC–MS, confirming methyl salicylate as the predominant compound (99.3%).

Radio Frequency Heating‐Induced Multilevel Injury of Plodia Interpunctella in Goji Berries and Concomitant Quality Variations of Goji Berries

open access: yesFood Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 5, September 2026.
RF heating reaches 52°C in 14 min (vs. 196 min for HA) and with 1.5 min holding achieves 100% larval mortality, inducing multilevel injury—cuticular damage, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and DNA fragmentation—while better preserving color, texture, and bioactive components than HA.

Bioactive compounds in insects—Composition, extraction, functionality, food applications, and safety concerns

open access: yesFood Biomacromolecules, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 620-645, September 2026.
This review synthesizes 94 studies (2000–2025) exploring edible insects as sustainable sources of peptides, lipids, and chitin. Utilizing “green” extraction, these bioactives offer antioxidant and antimicrobial benefits for functional foods. However, addressing safety concerns like allergenicity and heavy metals through standardized frameworks remains ...

See No Weevil: Dark Data Patterns in Repositories and Their Implications for Conservation Planning

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
Reliable species distribution data are essential for conservation planning, yet for many invertebrates, these data are incomplete or inaccessible. Institutional collections hold millions of insect specimens, but most of the data and metadata are undigitised ‘dark data', limiting their integration into global biodiversity platforms.

Entomopathogenic Nematodes for Control of Root Weevils of Citrus

open access: yesThe Florida Entomologist, 1992
The entomopathogenic nematodes, Steinernema carpocapsae (All strain), Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (HP-88 strain), H. bacteriophora (Florida strain), applied to the soil of a citrus grove near Lake Jem, Florida in March 1989, significantly reduced adult emergence of the root weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.).

Microbiome‐mediated chemical communication in insects: Implications for pest management

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8132-8151, September 2026.
Microbiome–semiochemical interactions involve the following processes: direct microbial synthesis, host gene regulation, precursor biotransformation, microbiome modulation and indirect ecological signaling. Abstract Insects rely on semiochemicals to regulate aggregation, mating, foraging, and host selection. This review synthesizes evidence that insect‐
