Comparative Cochlear Transcriptomics in Echolocating Bats and Mouse Reveals Hras as Protector Against Noise‐Induced Hearing Loss

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Comparative cochlear transcriptomics of noise‐exposed bats (Miniopterus fuliginosus) and mice reveals bat‐specific protection mechanisms for noise‐induced hearing loss (NIHL), identifying Hras as a key hub regulator. Functional studies in mice show hair‐cell‐specific Hras overexpression significantly reduced hair‐cell damage and NIHL by activating the ...

Tritrophic Interactions Among Fruit Flies (Diptera: Tephritidae), Its Parasitoids and Cultivated and Wild Hosts in the Pampa Biome, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

Agriculture
Fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) species are a serious threat for fruit-growers worldwide. The parasitoids (Hymenoptera) are natural enemies of these flies. In this context, the aim of this work was to assess fruit infestation by tephritid flies, both in

Thermosensory TRPV Heterotetramers Drive Seasonal Polyphenism: Molecular Basis of CcIav/CcNan‐PKCα‐AKH/AKHR Signaling in Pear Psyllid Morph Transition

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
At 2 5 °C, thermal activation initiates: i) CcIav/CcNan heterotetramer assembly → Ca2⁺ influx; ii) CcPKCα phosphorylation → AKH signaling potentiation; iii) CcAKH1 binding to membrane‐localized CcAKHR → energy mobilization (lipid catabolism/glycogenolysis) and vitellogenin transport via follicular patency; iv) Oocyte maturation → summer‐form nymph ...

Enhanced Single‐Particle Upconversion Imaging via Energy Migration Boosting

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A core‐shell‐shell Yb3⁺/Er3⁺ UCNP architecture is engineered to balance energy migration and back energy transfer, yielding more than a tenfold enhancement in single‐particle brightness. Leveraging these optimized probes, it achieves long‐term, high‐resolution single‐particle tracking in live neurons, uncovering coordinated transport mechanisms of ...

Alkaline–Acid Intestine Environment Controlled by A Carbonic Anhydrase Gene Influences Synthesis of Sex Pheromone by Symbionts

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A model proposing that elevated rectal expression of CAh1 in males alkalinizes the environment to regulate Bacillus production of a male‐specific sex pheromone. Abstract The intricate interplay between animals and their intestinal microbes is pivotal in shaping various aspects of animal biology.

A Set of Novel Venom Proteins Enables Parasitoid Wasps to Exploit Older Hosts and Coexist with Competitors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study elucidates a molecular mechanism enabling species coexistence between parasitoid wasps, showing how Asobara japonica uses a set of novel venom proteins to delay host development and exploit older hosts, thereby achieving temporal niche partitioning with Leptopilina drosophilae. Abstract Interspecific competition can drive species coexistence

Dual Disruption of the Immune Cytokine Spätzle Facilitates Fungal Infection of Diverse Insect Hosts

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The Toll pathway is essential for insect defense against fungal pathogens. This works reports that fungal parasites employ two divergent virulent effectors to target the Toll receptor ligand Spätzle: a metalloprotease degrading it and a hairpin‐like effector hijacking it to block signal transduction. This dual strategy enables the fungus to kill a wide
