Wolbachia causes cytoplasmic incompatibility but not male‐killing in a grain pest beetle
Molecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 24, Page 6570-6587, December 2022., 2022 Abstract The endosymbiotic Wolbachia is one of the most common intracellular bacteria known in arthropods and nematodes. Its ability for reproductive manipulation can cause unequal inheritance to male and female offspring, allowing the manipulator to spread, but potentially also impact the evolutionary dynamics of infected hosts.

Genetic mechanisms modulating behaviour through plastic chemosensory responses in insects
Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 45-60, January 2023., 2023 Abstract The ability to transition between different behavioural stages is a widespread phenomenon across the animal kingdom. Such behavioural adaptations are often linked to changes in the sensitivity of those neurons that sense chemical cues associated with the respective behaviours.

Boreas, EarlyView.We show that the biological assemblage of two lakes in the Hudson Bay Lowlands experienced shifts in their biological assemblages in a very similar period as inferred hydrological change; yet, we also show that both ponds also had a clear anthropogenic warming signal as demonstrated by similar results in a chironomid‐based palaeo‐temperature ...

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Malaria is a mosquito‐borne disease caused by protozoans of the genus Plasmodium that affects both humans and wildlife. The fitness consequences of infections by avian malaria are well known in birds, however, little information exists on its impact on mosquitoes.

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

Effects of land cover and protected areas on flying insect diversity
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Widespread insect losses are a critical global problem. Mitigating this problem requires identifying the principal drivers across different taxa and determining which insects are covered by protected areas. However, doing so is hindered by missing information on most species owing to extremely high insect diversity and difficulties in ...
