Occurrence of Food Chemical Contaminants in Entomophagy: Implications for Food Safety and Future Risk Assessment—A Scoping Review

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Entomophagy is increasingly recognized as a sustainable alternative to conventional protein sources due to its low environmental impact. However, ensuring its safety requires careful evaluation of chemical contaminants of food safety concern.

From Cohesion to Norms: How Animal Groups Come, Stay, and Function Together

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 9, Page 604-622, September 2026.
The present review underscores two salient points: In the context of evolutionary transitions to pair‐ and group living, it is imperative to acknowledge the distinction between selective forces that act during the origin of these social systems and those that act during their subsequent maintenance.

Antipredatory Strategies of Anurans: An Updated Conceptual Review

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 9, Page 662-708, September 2026.
To unravel the evolutionary dynamics of predator–prey interactions, we propose an updated, three‐tiered classification of anuran antipredatory strategies. By mapping non‐behavioral, individual, and group defenses across five functional phases, this integrative framework introduces the concept of synergetic coupling.

Termites: the big ecosystem catalysts

, 2018
This is a research proposal to investigate the negligenciated role of termites in the ecosystem functioning. The main idea is that termites accelerate the rates of decomposition and mineralization of Soil Organic Matter done by microorganisms. In another

Postembryonic development of the predatory strike mechanics in a praying mantis (Insecta: Mantodea)

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 377-396, September 2026.
Praying mantis forelegs capture prey using specific kinematic and kinetic traits that change in size and morphology during postembryonic growth and sexual dimorphism influences these dynamics. Strike forces grow hyperallometrically with body weight; larger mantises show longer strike durations, slower joint angular velocities and increased tibia ...

G91-1062 Termites (Revised March 2002) [PDF]

, 1991
This NebGuide provides information on biology and control of subterranean termites. Termites feed on wood and serve an important function in nature by converting dead trees into organic matter.
