Pollinator communities as indicators of ecological change in developing woodlands
A shift in the pollinator community occurs as planted woodlands develop. Bees respond to local habitat change, while hoverflies respond to the broader landscape. The choice of metrics and sampling methods can shape ecological interpretations. Pollinators, especially bees, are sensitive, policy‐relevant indicators for tracking early biodiversity change ...

Dual Disruption of the Immune Cytokine Spätzle Facilitates Fungal Infection of Diverse Insect Hosts
The Toll pathway is essential for insect defense against fungal pathogens. This works reports that fungal parasites employ two divergent virulent effectors to target the Toll receptor ligand Spätzle: a metalloprotease degrading it and a hairpin‐like effector hijacking it to block signal transduction. This dual strategy enables the fungus to kill a wide
