Extended longevity of termite kings and queens is accompanied by extranuclear localization of telomerase in somatic organs and caste‐specific expression of its isoforms

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 32, Issue 2, Page 364-384, April 2025.
We recently reported that long‐lived termite kings and queens display an increased enzymatic activity and abundance of telomerase in their soma when compared to short‐lived workers. We hypothesized that this telomerase activation may represent its noncanonical pro‐longevity function, independent of its canonical role in telomere maintenance.

The cryptonephridial/rectal complex: an evolutionary adaptation for water and ion conservation

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 2, Page 647-671, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Arthropods have integrated digestive and renal systems, which function to acquire and maintain homeostatically the substances they require for survival. The cryptonephridial complex (CNC) is an evolutionary novelty in which the renal organs and gut have been dramatically reorganised. Parts of the renal or Malpighian tubules (MpTs) form a close

New tools to monitor Scaphoideus titanus, the main vector of phytoplasmas associated with Flavescence dorée in vineyards

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 4, Page 330-335, April 2025.
Insects belonging the suborder Auchenorrhyncha (Hemiptera) are monitored with yellow sticky traps replaced every 1 or 2 weeks, which is costly and time‐consuming. We tested two types of electronic traps to monitor Scaphoideus titanus (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), a vector of phytoplasmas associated with Flavescence dorée in grapevine (Vitis vinifera ...

Differential effect of grassland mowing on arthropod taxa

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 288-298, April 2025.
First, we discovered that mowing had a negative effect on overall arthropod abundance in all four of our studies. Second, our four studies found that seven taxa showed only negative, four only positive, and four mixed positive and negative responses. Third, regarding taxonomic resolution, no third‐level taxon (i.e.
