Tritrophic Interactions and Parasitoid Community Structure of Gall‐Inducing Herbivores in Arid Desert Ecosystems of Northern Xinjiang, China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study systematically elucidates the complex tritrophic networks among the keystone shrub Lycium ruthenicum, three gall‐inducing pests, and 13 associated parasitoid species in the arid desert ecosystems of northern Xinjiang, China, reporting the globally novel stem gall‐inducing behavior of Scrobipalpa erichiodes.

Distinctive gene expression in the reduced first thoracic legs of a nymphalid butterfly

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 504-516, October 2026.
Transcriptome analysis reveals that the small non‐walking front legs of a butterfly have distinct gene expression to the four walking legs. Reduced front legs express a gene with putative mechanosensory roles, a blue‐sensitive opsin and two homeobox genes.

Transcriptional responses of Aedes aegypti chemosensory tissues in response to volatile DEET and citronella oil

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 526-540, October 2026.
Aedes aegypti females were significantly repelled by both volatile DEET and citronella oil in comparison to control (ethanol‐exposed) mosquitoes. Global gene expression changes were largest in the mosquito mouthparts, with notable downregulation of the three subunits comprising the mosquito CO2 receptor (Gr1, 2 and 3).

Scanning electron microscopic study of antennal of the female Bee louse fly Braula coeca Nitzsch (Diptera: Braulidae)

مجلة المختار للعلوم, 2014
The antenna of the female bee louse Braula coeca consists of a scape, a pedicel and a Funicle (enlarged basal flagella subsegment). The scape is not visible and does not carry any type of sensilla.

Genome‐wide identification of olfactory receptor and odorant‐binding protein gene families and their roles in Heliothine chemosensory evolution

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 594-612, October 2026.
Genome‐wide systematic annotation identified 81 odorant receptors (ORs) and 49 odorant‐binding proteins (OBPs) in the tobacco budworm, Chloridea virescens. Phylogenetic analyses revealed chemosensory gene diversification in Heliothinae and extensive lineage‐specific duplications in C.

Bioinspired Sinusoidal Corrugation for High‐Performance Motion Sensing in Wearable Human‐Machine Interfaces

Advanced Sensor Research, Volume 5, Issue 9, September 2026.
Bioinspired sinewave corrugation is introduced as a structural strategy for flexible strain sensing. By redistributing strain and reducing localized stress concentration, the sensor achieves balanced sensitivity, low hysteresis, fast response, and long‐term durability.

Chemical Composition and Biological Activities of Croton sertanejus Essential Oil Against Aedes aegypti and Preliminary Toxicity in Mus Musculus

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study investigated the chemical composition and biological potential of the essential oil from the newly described species Croton sertanejus. The results demonstrated efficacy in repellency and oviposition deterrence against the Aedes aegypti mosquito, coupled with low mammalian toxicity, suggesting the potential of this oil as a viable ...
