Seeing Through an Ant's Eyes: Do Entomopathogenic Fungi Extend Their Cognition to Their Hosts?

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Post‐cognitivist approaches recognize cognition as a phenomenon that involves not just brains but all the sensorimotor apparatus of organisms. This means that brains are not always required for the emergence of cognition and that every organism can, in principle, be cognitive, unlocking a theoretical framework to explain the complex adaptive ...

9-Methylgermacrene-B is confirmed as the sex pheromone of the sandfly Lutzomyia longipalpis from Lapinha, Brazil, and the absolute stereochemistry defined as S [PDF]

, 1999
The structure of the sex pheromone produced by the male sandfly Lutzomyia longipalpis, from the Lapinha Cave (Minas Gerais State) region of Brazil, previously proposed tentatively as the novel homosesquiterpene 9- methylgermacrene-B, is confirmed and the

Phenology, Mating Behaviour, and Ecology of a Wild New Zealand Nurseryweb Spider (Dolomedes minor)

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
Population dynamics are key to the understanding of mating systems, and in particular, sex ratios provide an insight into the evolutionary pressures governing a mating system. Variation in sex ratios can influence mate competition, parental investment strategies, and ultimately shape mating rates and the reproductive success of individuals within a ...

Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1937-1959, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...

Leaf penetration by endophytic Metarhizium brunneum enables infection of Phthorimaea absoluta in tomato mines while inducing the crop defense system

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 8, Page 7794-7808, August 2026.
Spraying Metarhizium brunneum on tomato plants controls heterogeneous and upcoming Phthorimaea absoluta populations by infecting larvae within mines and priming plant induced systemic defences. Abstract BACKGROUND The endophytic entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium brunneum Petch EAMa 01/58‐Su shows strong potential for managing Phthorimaea absoluta, a ...

Diversity of flies visiting and pollinating flowers of the Southern African genus Riocreuxia (Apocynaceae: Ceropegieae, Anisotominae)

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract The subtribe Stapeliinae (Apocynaceae: Asclepiadoideae) contains ca. 720 species and, with fly pollination being ubiquitous in the group, appears to have diversified without shifts between major groups of pollinators. In contrast, the sister subtribe Anisotominae, which only has ca.

Attraction of Phoracantha mastersi (Coloeptera: Cerambycidae) to copulation‐associated olfactory stimuli

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 502-507, August 2026.
Damage caused by Phoracantha mastersi larvae are the primary cause of forest decline in Australia's subalpine forests. Behaviour of male adult beetles was tested in response to a suite of commercial semiochemicals and conspecifics engaged in active copulation within a Y‐maze.
