Is It Easier to Count Communities Than Find Them?

Random Structures &Algorithms, Volume 68, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Random graph models with community structure have been studied extensively in the literature. For both the problems of detecting and recovering community structure, an interesting landscape of statistical and computational phase transitions has emerged. A natural unanswered question is: Might it be possible to infer properties of the community

Recurrent Visitation by Lycaenid Butterflies and Honeybees to the Same Individuals of Achyranthes bidentata (Amaranthaceae)

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 4, July 2026.
The common perennial weed Achyranthes bidentata (Amaranthaceae) produces many flowers to attract diverse insect pollinators. The authors here found that lycaenid butterflies made long‐distance visits between individual plants, whereas honeybees were inclined to visit multiple flowers within an individual plant. These findings highlight potential agents

How Do Group Size and Social Context Affect Per‐Capita Behavioral Responses in a Nasute Termite?

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 639-645, July 2026.
Group living is often assumed to increase individual behavioral activity in eusocial insects through social facilitation. Using controlled bioassays with the termite Nasutitermes corniger, we show that increasing group size instead reduces per‐capita behavioral frequency, consistent with greater behavioral specialization. While antennation and grooming

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.

Late Carboniferous Paleomagnetism From North Qiangtang Block Reveals a Multibranched Paleo‐Tethys Ocean

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The North Qiangtang Block occupies a pivotal position within the eastern Tethyan realm, and its paleogeographic reconstruction is critical for constraining Tethyan geometry and evolution. However, its Late Paleozoic paleogeography and Paleo‐Tethyan Ocean–continent configuration remain controversial due to limited reliable age‐constrained ...
