Pesticide and Pathogen Exposure Causes Idiosyncratic Gene Expression Responses Across Four Diverse North American Bumble Bee Species

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 17, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Bumble bee (Bombus Latreille) populations of certain species have declined precipitously in North America over several decades. Hypotheses for declines include exposure to the pathogen Nosema bombi and neonicotinoid pesticides. Importantly, populations of some bumble bee species remain stable despite their presumed exposure to these same ...

Comparative profiling of the transcriptional response to infection in two species of Drosophila by short-read cDNA sequencing [PDF]

, 2009
Background Homology-based comparisons of the genes involved in innate immunity across many insect taxa with fully sequenced genomes has revealed a striking pattern of gene gain and loss, particularly among genes that encode proteins involved in clearing ...

Adaptation Mechanisms of Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila suzukii to Their Distinct Habitats

Entomological Research, Volume 55, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT The Drosophila genus comprises over 2000 species worldwide, making it a valuable model for studying habitat selection and preference differences among species in specific ecosystems. This review focuses on the differences in habitat and chemical preference between Drosophila melanogaster, which inhabits overripe and decaying fermented fruits ...

Survey of the Reduviidae (Heteroptera) of Southern Illinois, Excluding the Phymatinae, With Notes on Biology [PDF]

, 2018
A survey of the nonphymatine reduviids of southern Illinois was con­ducted from April 1996 to November 1998. In addition to county distributions, information was collected on times of occurrence of adults and nymphs and associated habitats.

Body size evolution as a catalyst for diversification of copulation strategies and its spillover effects on genital evolution and phylogenetic divergence in terrestrial arthropods

Population Ecology, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 191-207, July 2025.
A scenario in which divergent selection derived from ecological environments leads to genital divergence through body size evolution. Abstract To explore how ecological diversity contributes to the establishment of ecologically similar species with sexual divergence, this review focuses on body size—an environmentally influenced trait that determines ...

Recent sex chromosome divergence despite ancient dioecy in the willow Salix viminalis. [PDF]

, 2017
Sex chromosomes can evolve when recombination is halted between a pair of chromosomes, and this can lead to degeneration of the sex-limited chromosome.

Patterns of Gene Family Evolution and Selection Across Daphnia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
This study examines gene family dynamics within Daphnia species, using comparative genomics to explore adaptive expansion in gene families, particularly those related to stress response. Findings reveal general trends in gene turnover and selection, although most changes are species‐specific, highlighting complex evolutionary patterns.

Mitochondrial differentiation, introgression and phylogeny of species in the Tegenaria atrica group (Araneae, Agelenidae) [PDF]

, 2004
The relationships between the three members of the Tegenaria atrica group (T. atrica, T. saeva and T. gigantea) were examined with DNA sequence data from mitochondrial CO1, 16S rRNA, tRNAleu(CUN) and ND1 genes.

Carrion‐breeding flies of Australia and New Zealand: A review and key to adults

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2025.
Abstract Carrion‐breeding flies are diverse with over 70 species in the Australasian/Oceanian region, predominantly from the families Calliphoridae and Sarcophagidae. These flies play crucial roles in ecosystems as primary decomposers, pollinators and food sources for a variety of predators and parasites.
