The dual crisis: Climate change simultaneously drives pollinator decline and pest outbreaks

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Climate change acts as an asymmetric ecological filter, favouring r‐selected pest traits (rapid reproduction, generalism) while disadvantaging K‐selected pollinators. For every 1°C of warming, bee species richness declines ~25% since the 1990s, while pest‐induced crop losses increase by 10%–25%. A network‐centric approach integrating climate‐responsive

Trans‐oceanic migration and wind utilization by Amur Falcons (Falco amurensis)

Ibis, EarlyView.
The Amur Falcon Falco amurensis performs one of the world's longest raptor migrations, involving a non‐stop crossing of the Indian Ocean of approximately 2800 km. While the existence of this route is known, the mechanistic details of wind exploitation and seasonal navigation remain to be fully elucidated.

On the Larval Sensory Organs and Central Nervous System of the Zoea 1 of the Asian Shore Crab Hemigrapsus sanguineus (Decapoda, Brachyura)

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 9, September 2026.
We provide a description of the morphology of selected sensory organs and of the central nervous system in the Zoea 1 of the Asian shore crab Hemigrapsus sanguineus using multiple neuroanatomical methods. Our data reveal well‐developed visual and olfactory organs and complex primary sensory neuropils related to processing this input.

Estado actual de la langosta Schistocerca cancellata paranensis (Burm.) en la República Argentina. Nuevos aportes a su bioecología

Acta Zoológica Lilloana, 2020
Hace algunas décadas, Schistocerca cancellata paranensis (Burm.) mostraba todas sus fases aparentemente bien definidas. Actualmente, no alcanza la fase gregaria, probablemente por el estricto control de sus poblaciones; según las condiciones imperantes,

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

Pest 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‐

Edible Insect Allergens: An Emerging Food Safety Challenge

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2026.
Allergic responses to edible insects arise via two main pathways: cross‐reactivity with homologous arthropod allergens and primary sensitization to edible insect proteins, both leading to IgE‐mediated immune activation. ABSTRACT Edible insects are increasingly promoted as sustainable protein sources; however, their allergenic potential remains a ...

Occurrence of Food Chemical Contaminants in Entomophagy: Implications for Food Safety and Future Risk Assessment—A Scoping Review

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Entomophagy is increasingly recognized as a sustainable alternative to conventional protein sources due to its low environmental impact. However, ensuring its safety requires careful evaluation of chemical contaminants of food safety concern.
