Insect‐Derived Bioactives for Glycemic Control and Gut Health: A Review
Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.Insect‐derived bioactive compounds (e.g., peptides, polysaccharides) effectively regulate blood glucose through dual mechanisms: directly inhibiting carbohydrate‐digesting enzymes and glucose transporters, and indirectly modulating gut microbiota to enhance intestinal barrier integrity.

Solenopsis invicta virus 3 infection alters foraging behavior in its host Solenopsis invicta
Virology, 2023 Solenopsis invicta is an invasive ant introduced into the United States in the early 1900s. Control efforts and damage caused by this ant exceed $8 billion annually. Solenopsis invicta virus 3 (SINV-3) is a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus (Solinviviridae) that is being used as a classical natural control agent for S. invicta. S.

New Plant Protection, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.Flight in female beet webworms (Loxostege sticticalis) promotes an increase in feeding, thereby enhancing abdominal energy reserves. Following flight, the flight muscles undergo accelerated histolysis, and the energy substances undergoing histolysis are redirected to the ovaries. These two processes collectively promote ovarian development.

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 29-39, March 2026.Colour‐coded perlites were treated with specific fatty acids or mono‐, di‐ or triglycerides as perlite pickup cues for laboratory and field colonies of western carpenter ants. In laboratory and field experiments, ant colonies were offered multiple choices of these colour‐coded lipid‐treated perlites for pickup and transport to the nest.

Effect of Solenopsis invicta virus 3 on brood mortality and egg hatch in Solenopsis invicta
Journal of Invertebrate PathologySolenopsis invicta virus 3 (SINV-3) has been shown to cause significant mortality among all stages of its host, Solenopsis invicta. One impact of the virus is alteration of worker ant foraging behavior, which results in colony starvation and collapse over time. Additionally, it has been hypothesized that SINV-3 infection of S.

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.We outline the diversity of pests, weeds and plant pathogens absent from New Zealand that threaten forage production, examine their potential import pathways, and outline the challenges of managing them should they arrive. The number and diversity of threats and pathways indicates ongoing incursions are inevitable.
