Pest‐preservation paradox among insects
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.The pest‐preservation paradox is a non‐binary perspective that insects range from those that are harmful and requiring management on the one side, to those requiring conservation intervention on the opposite end of the spectrum. Importantly, the vast majority of insects occur somewhere in the center of the two extremes, and their position along the ...

Taxonomic and functional patterns of arthropod succession after glacier retreat in the Dolomite Alps
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Arthropod succession after glacier retreat varied among species and forelands in the Dolomites Alps, with community composition shaped by glacier identity, time since deglaciation and local environmental conditions. Functional composition shifted from small, highly dispersive pioneer species to larger, less dispersive taxa, reflecting increasing ...

Ecological functions of fungal sesquiterpenes in the food preference and fitness of soil Collembola
Royal Society Open ScienceVolatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by fungi play a key role in locating and selecting hosts for fungivorous arthropods. However, the ecological functions of many common VOC classes, such as sesquiterpenes, remain unknown.

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 56, 8 October 2026.This review examines passive, active, and hybrid liquid manipulation strategies, highlighting hybrid approaches as an emerging route to reconcile energy efficiency with adaptive control. By actively reconstructing passive surfaces to store programmable interfacial energy, hybrid systems enable flexible yet low‐power liquid transport, with perspectives ...
