Eating habits are formed from an early age through experiences gained from contact with food and observation of the environment. This research aims to determine mothers' views regarding toddlers' picky eating behavior. Because there is very little research on this, it is necessary to understand mothers' perspectives in making decisions about dealing with picky eating behavior in toddlers. A systematic search of relevant databases was conducted based on four electronic databases (Scopus, ScienceDirect, Pubmed, and Springer Link) using predefined search terms in the preceding 10 years. A total of 361 articles were obtained from the data sources, while 41 studies met the study criteria. Articles were included if they were of good quality and focused primarily on family parenting, maternal perspectives, feeding practices, and the impact of picky eating. The results of this review show the influence of parents' food serving practices and children's eating habits. Mothers who have bad eating habits tend to have picky eater children.

The harlequin ladybird, , is a predatory beetle used globally to control pests such as aphids and scale insects. Originating from East Asia, this species has become highly invasive since its introduction in the late 19th century to Europe and North America, posing a threat to local biodiversity. Intraguild predation is hypothesized to drive the success of this invasive species, but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown.

As human activities amplify environmental stresses, animals may be forced to prioritize survival over behaviors less crucial to immediate fitness, such as socializing. Yet, social bonds may also enable individuals to weather the deleterious effects of environmental conditions.

Scavenging is a widespread feeding strategy involving a diversity of taxa from different trophic levels, from apex predators to obligate scavengers. Scavenger species play a crucial role in ecosystem functioning by removing carcasses, recycling nutrients and preventing disease spread. Understanding the trophic roles of scavenger species can help identify specialized species with unique roles and species that may be more vulnerable to ecological changes.
