Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023 In our multi‐herbivore and multi‐plant species experiment, we address the link between plant resistance to herbivores and their local and regional rarity by putting it into context with their life‐history traits, habitats and evolutionary history. We found that rare plant species are not less resistant to herbivores than common ones.

Neuropeptides and degenerin/epithelial Na+ channels: a relationship from mammals to cnidarians
The Journal of Physiology, Volume 601, Issue 9, Page 1583-1595, 1 May 2023., 2023 Abstract figure legend Several degenerin (DEG)/epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) ion channels interact with neuropeptides. Some DEG/ENaCs from vertebrates, including humans, are modulated by neuropeptides, whereas others, from bilaterian invertebrates and cnidarians, are directly activated by them. For modulation, neuropeptides [here, RFamides (RFa)] bind,

Journal of Phycology, Volume 59, Issue 2, Page 309-322, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Interactions between marine diatoms and bacteria have been studied for decades. However, the visualization of physical interactions between these diatoms and their colonizers is still limited. To enhance our understanding of these specific interactions, a new Thalassiosira rotula isolate from the North Sea (strain 8673) was characterized by ...

Collembola are Among the Most Pesticide‐Sensitive Soil Fauna Groups: A Meta‐Analysis
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 41, Issue 10, Page 2333-2341, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Pesticides are a major concern because of their deleterious impacts on biodiversity and on the ecological functions provided by living organisms. Although earthworms are well studied, smaller‐sized organisms, such as Collembola, also contribute to the agroecosystem functioning, and their sensitivity to pesticides makes them good bioindicators ...

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 41, Issue 7, Page 1686-1695, July 2022., 2022 Abstract Recently, the high toxicity of neonicotinoids to the survival and reproduction of adult earthworms has become apparent in standard 56‐day toxicity tests. The persistence of some neonicotinoids and/or their repeated application may lead to long‐term exposure, possibly also affecting other parts of the life cycle of earthworms. The present study
