Larvae of longhorned beetles (Coleoptera; Cerambycidae) have evolved a diverse and phylogenetically conserved array of plant cell wall degrading enzymes

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 46, Issue 4, Page 784-797, October 2021., 2021
We addressed the numbers, kinds and evolution of cerambycid plant cell wall degrading enzymes (PCWDEs) by surveying larval midgut transcriptomes from 23 species representing six of the eight recognized subfamilies of Cerambycidae. We identified 340 new putative PCWDEs belonging to ten carbohydrate active enzyme families, including two gene families ...

Deciphering the diet of a wandering spider (Phoneutria boliviensis; Araneae: Ctenidae) by DNA metabarcoding of gut contents

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 11, Page 5950-5965, June 2021., 2021
Arachnids are the most abundant land predators. Despite the importance of their functional roles as predators and the of necessity to understand their diet for conservation and nutrient fluxes, there is a small amount of work on trophic ecology in this group of arachnids.

Could bacterial associations determine the success of weevil species?

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 178, Issue 1, Page 51-61, January 2021., 2021
Abstract The weevil superfamily Curculionoidea is the largest insect group and so the largest animal group on earth. This taxon includes species which represent an important threat to many economically important crops and, therefore, pose a risk to agriculture and food security.
