Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.
Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

A Shared Turn, Divergent Logics: A Comparison of International Student Employment Policies in China, Japan and Korea

Higher Education Quarterly, Volume 80, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Amid intensified global talent competition and domestic demographic pressures, China, Japan and South Korea (hereafter, ‘Korea’) have expanded their international student policies beyond attraction and recruitment to include stronger measures for post‐study employment and retention, repositioning international students as strategic populations

Beyond Starch: Towards a Scalable Potato Platform for Molecular Farming

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, Page 4619-4639, July 2026.
Re‐engineering potato as a biosafe and host‐optimised platform for plant molecular farming by integrating intrinsic biological traits with targeted engineering strategies. ABSTRACT Thirty‐five years after the first recombinant protein was produced in potato and 30 years after clinical trials of edible vaccines from its tubers, the crop is being ...

Land‐Feedbacks‐Driven Dry‐Hot Mutual Reinforcement Extends Global Compound Drought‐Heatwave Durations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Under global warming, numerous compound events have emerged, yet the physical linkages between the two factors often remain unclear. The increasing frequency of droughts and heatwaves has raised the likelihood of compound drought and heatwave events (CDHE) worldwide, accompanied by frequent long‐lasting mega‐CDHE posing serious exposure risks.
