Insights on the nutritional ecology of a nocturnal pollinating insect

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Nutritional ecology examines the environmental effects on nutritional needs, food intake and foraging behaviors, and the use of nutrients ingested by animals. Among insects, Lepidoptera are often considered opportunistic foragers that visit a wide variety of available flowers, although with some preferences.

Genetic differentiation and adaptive evolution of buff‐tailed bumblebees in Asia

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the genetic differentiation and local adaptation of the buff‐tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) across its European and Asian populations. Using whole‐genome resequencing, we identified distinct genetic differences between populations, with Asian B. terrestris representing a unique genetic resource.

Silencing of juvenile hormone‐related genes through RNA interference leads to molt failure and high mortality in the spongy moth

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The feasibility of using RNA interference to control the globally important quarantine pest, the spongy moth. Targeting genes related to JHs play an important role in the growth and development of insects. First, the open reading frames (ORFs) of Ldjhamt and Ldjheh were identified and characterized, and the target genes were cloned and double‐stranded ...

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Phylosymbiosis and Parallel Geographical Patterns in the Gut Microbiota of Desert‐Dwelling Amphibians and Reptiles

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Host species emerge as a significant contributor to interspecies variations in the gut microbiota of desert‐dwelling amphibians and reptiles, illustrating phylosymbiosis among the studied species. Geographical factors partially account for interpopulation variations in the gut microbiota of Bufotes pewzowi and Teratoscincus przewalskii, with parallel ...

Differences in Habitat Quality Drive Behavioral Contrasts in Two Family Groups of the Critically Endangered Hainan Gibbon (Nomascus hainanus)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Habitat quality variation drove distinct behavioral strategies: GC (resource‐rich group) behaviors were influenced by food availability, safety and stability, while GE (resource‐scarce group) behaviors relied more on topography, food, and nutrients. Seasonal behavioral flexibility was demonstrated, with food variables dominating in the dry season and ...
