Functional and Taxonomic Structuring of Ground-Dwelling Spider Communities Under the Combined Effects of the Environment and Metal Contamination. [PDF]
Through a field study along a metal contamination gradient, we propose a combined application of taxonomic and functional approaches to study the impacts of contamination on polyphagous predators, spiders. We have demonstrated a significant impact of metal contamination on spider communities, although it operates among a set of variables (e.g ...

Identification of Partitivirus-like RdRPs in the Brevipalpus yothersi Genome Supports Viral-to-Arthropod Horizontal Gene Transfer [PDF]
RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RdRPs) are essential enzymes involved in RNA virus replication and eukaryotic RNA silencing. They are generally absent in vertebrates but present in some invertebrate lineages, such as nematodes and certain arthropods ...

Short‐ and long‐term expression of PPO‐D, PI‐IIc and PR‐1a were assessed in intact plants and detached tomato leaves of two varieties infested with Tetranhycus urticae. Tomato defences were induced in both intact and detached leaves, but the induction levels varied with plant variety and gene assessed.
