Looking to the past to inform the future: What eDNA from herbarium specimens can tell us about plant-animal interactions. [PDF]
Abstract Premise The importance of natural history collections in modern ecological and genetic research cannot be overstated. Herbarium specimens provide historical information that can be used to investigate community ecology, phenology, and population genetics. In this study, environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding and next‐generation sequencing were

Chemical and transcriptomic diversity do not correlate with ascending levels of social complexity in the insect order Blattodea. [PDF]
We assessed the long‐standing hypothesis that chemical profile complexity increases with levels of sociality in the insect order Blattodea investigating solitary as well as eusocial species. Strikingly, we could not confirm any consistent correlative patterns between chemical, transcriptomic, and social complexity.

An Investigation of the Coevolutionary Relationship Between Aprostocetus hagenowii (Ratzburg) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) and its Cockroach (Blattodea) Hosts [PDF]
Oothecal parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera) parasitize the egg cases (oothecae) of cockroaches (Blattodea). Oothecal parasitoids must have developed numerous adaptations to locate, parasitize, and develop within their hosts, but these adaptations have not ...
