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.

Arthropod conservation in roadside verges: Unmown refuges outperform mowing equipment changes

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 4, Page 873-883, July 2026.
While roadside verges might have potential as connecting corridors for grassland habitats and their inhabitants, roadside mowing negatively impacts grassland arthropod densities. In contrast to unmown refuges, all mowing techniques harmed grassland arthropods, with no significant differences between mowing equipment.

Cleaning Methods and Microbial Safety of Child Feeding Equipment: A Systematic Review

Maternal &Child Nutrition, Volume 22, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbial contamination of child feeding equipment (CFE) includes feeding bottles, teats, and breast pumps. This contamination is a recognized pathway for enteric pathogen exposure during early childhood, particularly during the complementary feeding period (6–24 months).

The Expanded Biopsychosocial Model Elucidates the Association Between Pre‐Pregnancy Overweight/Obesity and Delayed Lactogenesis II: A Prospective Cohort Study

Maternal &Child Nutrition, Volume 22, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Pre‐pregnancy overweight or obesity delays the onset of lactogenesis II, posing an early barrier to achieving optimal infant nutrition and long‐term health. However, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms remain incompletely elucidated.
