Non‐Canonical, Somatic‐Dependent Vertical Transmission of Wolbachia in an Aphid
Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.We discovered a novel somatic‐associated Wolbachia transmission strategy in cedar bark aphids (Cinara cedri), contrasting with its typical maternal vertical transmission. This unique maternally retained somatic re‐acquisition strategy—a “piggybacking” on the highly efficient obligate symbiont transmission pathway—reveals diverse endosymbiont strategies

Potential Drivers of Successful Biocontrol: A Perspective on Parasitoids
New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.Parasitoids are central to classical biological control, yet predicting their long‐term effectiveness post release remains challenging. In Aotearoa New Zealand, three Microctonus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) species have been used against pest weevils, but key aspects of their biology remain poorly understood.

Leaf transcriptome differences between diploid and tetraploid bahiagrass
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Polyploid individuals of the subtropical forage grass Paspalum notatum Flüggé (bahiagrass) exhibit distinct phenotypes, including apomixis, enhanced vigor, gigas effects, and increased stress tolerance. While apomixis‐based breeding programs supported by molecular tools have improved agronomic traits such as growth habit, forage dry matter ...

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.Androlaelaps fahrenhoizi, a potential vector of zoonotic diseases, is widely distributed in southwest China, predominantly infesting A. agrarius mice. The mite infestation is aggregated, and has environmental heterogeneity and age bias of hosts. Abundant A.

Marine Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 2, March/April 2026.ABSTRACT Sipunculans are unsegmented marine annelids distributed from intertidal to deep sediments, playing important roles in nutrient cycling and ecosystem health. The Sipunculus nudus species complex is exploited as food and bait in several regions, yet reproductive data at the population level remain scarce, especially for Atlantic populations ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.Two distinct lineages of L. invasa and the dominant endosymbiont, Rickettsia, was identified, followed by an analysis of its infection density across various developmental stages and tissues of L. invasa. Furthermore, two distinct strains of the Rickettsia endosymbiont were detected, and the phylogenetic relationships between these strains and their L.

Ecology and EvolutionClosely related sexual and parthenogenetic species often show distinct distribution patterns, known as geographical parthenogenesis. Similar patterns, characterized by the existence of separate sexual and parthenogenetic populations across their natural ...
