Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.This study extracted edible oil and chitosan using both chemical and green extraction techniques, from four species of edible winged termites. Yield and efficiency of the extraction techniques were compared, the extracted products characterized for physico‐chemical properties, and the antimicrobial ability of chitosan assessed against a gram‐positive ...

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 2860-2875, October 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Investigating forms specialized for their ecology (i.e. ecomorphs) is a major theme in ecology and evolution. Among the remarkable ecomorphs, those associated with fossorial habits have received increasing attention in vertebrates, but less so in invertebrates. Here, we

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.This study highlights the synergistic potential of the springtail Folsomia candida and Trichoderma spp. in suppressing Fusarium oxysporum, a key pathogen affecting cape gooseberry. By reducing Fusarium populations and enhancing soil health, this approach offers a promising eco‐friendly strategy for managing plant diseases in agriculture.

Antbears and underground melons: A highly specialized seed dispersal mutualism mediated by scent
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 5, Page 1225-1234, September 2025.Seed dispersal is critical for the establishment and persistence of populations of most plant species. We investigated the seed dispersal biology of an African melon, Cucumis humifructus, which is closely related to cultivated cucumbers and watermelons but differs in that it buries its fruits deep underground.

Isolation and Characterization of Polymorphic Microsatellite Markers for Two Subterranean Termites
Sociobiology, 2017 We isolated 15 and 18 highly polymorphic genomic microsatellite markers from two subterranean termites, Reticulitermes aculabialis and R. labralis, respectively. A total of 53 alleles were detected in 15 microsatellite loci of R.
