Environmental stress influences reproductive success in male spider mites

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
This experiment explores how male juvenile food stress impacts reproductive traits in the haplodiploid spider mite Tetranychus urticae. Males exposed to juvenile food stress had lower reproductive success and females mated to these males also suffered reduced fitness as they were not able to produce optimal offspring sex ratios. The negative effects of

Two Metschnikowia nectar yeast species have similar volatile profiles but elicit differential foraging in bee pollinators

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Yeasts that specialize in flower nectar play an important role in pollination ecology. Metschnikowia reukaufii and Metschnikowia koreensis were the most prevalent nectar yeasts found in our field sites. Bee pollinators exhibited different behavioural responses to nectar yeasts in field experiments. Bees visited more flowers with M.

Sex‐Specific Control and Incomplete Matings: Sperm Removal Behavior in a Bush Cricket Species

open access: yesEthology, EarlyView.
In this study, we investigated which sex influences the duration of sperm removal behaviour (SRB) in the ornate bush cricket, Metaplastes ornatus. Female traits showed a weak effect on SRB duration, and lighter females mated more frequently. Frequent unsuccessful mating terminations shortened SRB indicating high level of sexual conflict.

Structural investigation of human U6 snRNA recognition by spliceosomal recycling factor SART3 RNA recognition motifs

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Human SART3 has two RRM domains to engage with U6 snRNA for spliceosome recycling. This study reports solution structures of SART3 RRM domains and investigates the interaction between RRM and U6 snRNA. SART3 binds to the asymmetric bulge of U6 snRNA as a dimer via conserved positively charged surfaces.
