Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 6, June 2026.Octopaminergic neurons in the central nervous system of Lymnaea stagnalis were mapped using three complementary markers: mRNA, enzyme, and neurotransmitter. While substantial overlap was observed, discrepancies revealed neuroanatomical complexities, reinforcing the value of combining HCR and IHC for a more robust interpretation of neurotransmitter ...

Landscape wetness and beaver wetlands enhance environmental prevalence of Francisella spp.
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Identifying the contributions of biotic and abiotic factors in pathogen transmission is essential to mitigate vector‐borne and zoonotic disease risk. Francisella tularensis is the etiological agent of the infectious disease tularemia in wildlife and humans. Environmental factors driving transmission in wildlife, including the role of hares and

ParaHox Genes Revisited: From Gut Patterning to Integrated Axial and Neural Organization in Rotifera
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 346, Issue 4, Page 357-369, June 2026.In rotifers, ParaHox genes show a dispersed genomic organization, with Xlox absent across gnathiferans. Exclusive neuronal expression of Gsx and Cdx reveals that ancestral ParaHox genes coordinated neural and epithelial development beyond gut patterning, suggesting an integrated role in early bilaterian body plan organization.

Innate immunity shapes the persistent transmission of plant viruses by insect vectors
New Plant Protection, Volume 3, Issue 2, June 2026.In this review, we focus on two key aspects of the virus–vector interplay: (1) persistently transmitted viruses utilize host factors to overcome transmission barriers; and (2) molecular recognition activates antiviral immunity and subsequent viral counter‐defense. Understanding these interactions offers critical insights for developing novel strategies
