Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Detection of sex chromosomes in Tephritid pests using R‐CQ and KAMY, two computational methods to support generic pest management applications

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Here, we present R‐CQ and KAMY, two computational methods developed for the detection of sex chromosome‐linked sequences. We evaluate their performance on newly generated chromosome‐level assemblies of four important Tephritid pest species: Ceratitis capitata, Bactrocera dorsalis, Bactrocera zonata, and Anastrepha ludens.

Calcitonin‐like diuretic hormone influences reproduction in adult female Rhodnius prolixus

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Highlights • CT/DH‐like immunoreactivity is present in female reproductive tissues • CT/DH receptor transcripts are expressed in the fat body and ovaries • RNAi knockdown of CT/DH receptors reduces egg number and hatching rate • Rhopr‐CT/DH increases RhoprVg1 and RhoprVgR expression in ovaries in vitro • Rhopr‐CT/DH stimulates oviduct contractions in a

The impact of short‐term flooding on soil microbial communities, soil nitrogen and maize productivity in clay loam soils of Ohio, United States

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
A short‐term flood, implemented in a field experiment with sprinkler irrigation in maize production systems, increased soil moisture levels and reduced autoclaved citrate extractable protein, an indicator of soil biological health that reflects organically bound soil nitrogen, and also corresponded to greater differential abundance of soil bacterial ...
