Morphological and metabarcoding dietary analysis of the cunner wrasse (Tautogolabrus adspersus) revealed significant regional variation, with large overlap between its common prey species and biofouling animals living on salmonid sea cages

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The stomach‐less cunner wrasse (Tautogolabrus adspersus) has been experimentally used as a biological control agent for salmon lice that infest Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and to remove biofouling inside sea cages. The cunner demonstrates a strong population structure, suggesting that its diet, and therefore its usefulness for biological ...

Change Your Diet: How CO2, Plant Phenology and Genotype Alter Grapevine Quality and Affect Performance and Larval Transcriptome of an Insect Herbivore

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Herbivorous insects need to cope with changing host plant biochemistry caused by abiotic and biotic impacts, to meet their dietary requirements. Larvae of the multivoltine European grapevine moth Lobesia botrana, one of the main insect pests in viticulture, feed on both flowers and berries.

The Power Duo: How the Interplay Between Nucleoid‐Associated Proteins and Small Noncoding RNAs Orchestrates the Cellular Regulatory Symphony

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Nucleoid‐associated proteins play a crucial role in the compaction of bacterial DNA and the regulation of gene expression. The emergence of small noncoding RNAs as regulatory elements in these processes represents a major development in our understanding of bacterial biology.

Protein Homeostasis Impairment Alters Phenotypic Heterogeneity of Biofilm Communities

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
In biofilms, genetically identical cells exhibit diverse gene expression, resulting in subpopulations of functionally distinct and coexisting cell types, such as motile cells, extracellular matrix producers, and spores. Balanced phenotypic heterogeneity produces robust biofilms.

Prevalence of culicine salivary antibodies in non‐human primates living in national parks in Thailand

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 278-290, June 2025.
Anti‐mosquito salivary gland antibodies were detected in the sera of macaques (Macaca arctoides, M. leonina and M. fascicularis) from Kaeng Krachan, Khao Yai and Mu Ko Ranong National Parks, respectively. For M. leonina and M. fascicularis, the highest titres were against Ae. aegypti while Ae. albopictus antibody titres were observed in M.

Plant species richness promotes the decoupling of leaf and root defence traits while species‐specific responses in physical and chemical defences are rare

New Phytologist, Volume 246, Issue 2, Page 729-746, April 2025.
Summary The increased positive impact of plant diversity on ecosystem functioning is often attributed to the accumulation of mutualists and dilution of antagonists in diverse plant communities. While increased plant diversity alters traits related to resource acquisition, it remains unclear whether it reduces defence allocation, whether this reduction ...
