Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1937-1959, August 2026.ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...

Preliminary Evaluation of a Novel Lupus Anticoagulant Activity Assay Unaffected by Anticoagulants
Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 40, Issue 15, August 2026.A novel one‐step lupus anticoagulant (LA) assay based on the LA‐sensitivity ratio (LA‐SR) was developed to simplify diagnostic testing and reduce potential interference from anticoagulants. The LA‐SR method showed good agreement with guideline‐based LA testing (dRVVT and/or LA‐sensitive APTT) for the detection of LA and demonstrated limited influence ...

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1256-1284, August 2026.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...
