Lords of the flies: dipteran migrants are diverse, abundant and ecologically important

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Insect migrants are hugely abundant, with recent studies identifying the megadiverse order Diptera as the major component of many migratory assemblages. Despite this, their migratory behaviour has been widely overlooked in favour of more ‘charismatic’ migrant insects such as butterflies, dragonflies, and moths.

‘I like to dance with the flowers!’: Exploring the possibilities for biodiverse futures in an urban forest school

open access: yesChildren &Society, EarlyView.
Abstract This article explores the ways in which ‘forest school’, an educational approach where children engage in creative and play based activities in a ‘natural’ environment, can contribute towards Sustainable Development Goal 15 (SDG 15) by promoting sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems and by helping address biodiversity loss. Drawing on data

Effects of a temperate heatwave on diel rhythms of insect activity: A comparison across habitats

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Counts of insects caught in pan traps in Norfolk, UK, exhibited a unimodal relationship with air temperature – a pattern also observed specifically for the orders Diptera and Hymenoptera. A temperate heatwave event reduced insect counts in the open meadow habitat by an estimated 81.9%, with smaller, non‐significant decreases observed in tree‐covered ...

Mineral oil interferes with potato virus Y in aphid stylets

open access: yesPlant Pathology, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 170-178, January 2023., 2023
The mineral oil and the virus were visualized inside the insect's stylets and the mechanism by which the oil impacts virus acquisition seems to take place in the very early stages of acquisition. Abstract Mineral oils have been used for many decades to control the transmission of plant viruses and their ensuing epidemics.

Protein import into bacterial endosymbionts and evolving organelles

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The acquisition of bacterial endosymbionts by ancient host cells followed by massive adaptation of the partners gave rise to mitochondria and plastids. Today, various systems with younger and less integrated endosymbionts provide insights into the initial steps in the endosymbiont to organelle transition.
