The hybrid Heliconius elevatus is stable and sympatric with its parents: H. pardalinus contributes 99% of the genome, while the 1% originating from H. melpomene contain ecological traits including sex pheromones and mate choice. Nature doi.org/10.1038/s41586…

Mating between different species has often been considered an evolutionary dead end, but a study in longwing butterflies suggests that such hybridization could underlie the origins of a new species go.nature.com/3w6jvjr

A unique cuticular hydrocarbon from the springtail Heteromurus nitidus. This new terpene type, a prenylated geranylated diterpene, highlights differences between Collembola and more advanced insects. See our article in J Nat Prod. doi.org/10.1021/acs.jn…

Chemical Ecology lost a pillar, Entomology lost a giant, RES and ESA lost a Fellow and Honorary FRES, we lost a friend and colleague, and the world lost a fantastic human being. Jeremy is irreplaceable—he was one of a kind. Let His Memory Be A Blessing! Requiesce in pace, Jeremy.

Urocanoate serves as starter for the unusal imidacins produced in minute amounts by Stigmatella myxobacteria. The could only be identified by total synthesis. See Org. Lett. doi.org/10.1021/acs.or…

Unique highly hetero-substituted benzenes are defence compounds from tiny springtails. The minute amounts available needed the combination of GC/MS, GC/IR, DFT-calculation, and synthesis to arrive at the structures. Chem. Sci. doi.org/10.1039/D4SC03…

We are happy to announce MACE release 6, our open access database of mass spectra useful for GC/MS. The database contains next to the data in a text file also full libraries in Shimadzu and MSSearch formats, the latter now with structures.

We congratulate Natural Product Reports on 40 years of publication with a highlight on the chemistry of springtails. Please take a look at the fascinating compounds produced by these tiny soil dwellers. doi.org/10.1039/D4NP00…

We have discovered a new type of steroids with contracted A-ring, the batrachane skeleton, in gular scent glands of Odontobatrachus frogs. See the identification and synthesis of various batrachodienes, potentially used as signals, in Angew. Chem. doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…

Happy to share our new publication! We found that spiders have super sensitive olfaction! Male spiders use their legs as “nose” to sniff out partners. Olfaction with legs—Spiders use wall-pore sensilla for pheromone detection | PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
