Effect of the microbiome on pathogen susceptibility across four Drosophilidae species
Insect Science, EarlyView.Four Drosophilidae species were used to investigate how variation in the host microbiome influences susceptibility to infection. Microbial composition and abundance differed among species and treatments. The effects of microbiome manipulation on host survival were both species‐ and pathogen‐specific.

Defensin Levels in Spider Hemolymph
, 2015 Spiders, like all arthropods, exclusively rely on an innate immune system localized in the hemocytes to protect against pathogen invasion. In the hemocytes of the wandering spider Cupiennius salei (C.

Males are worse mothers: Comparing care patterns in a facultatively caring beetle
Insect Science, EarlyView.Why should biparental care exist if offspring fare just as well when only one parent is present? In the facultatively dependent burying beetle, Nicrophorus vespilloides, manipulating environmental quality reveals that biparental care benefits offspring in form of lower personal immune requirement and parents in term of weight gain.

Hemolymph-Mediated Dynamics of Paralytic Shellfish Toxins and Tetrodotoxin in Scallops
Marine DrugsTo investigate the dynamics of paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) and tetrodotoxins (TTX) in scallops, PSTs and TTX were analyzed in the hemolymph supernatant (hemolymph-S) and digestive gland in Yesso and Akazara scallops cultured in eastern Japan.

Aphid and endosymbiont sensitivity to heatwaves is misaligned across life stages
Insect Science, EarlyView.Aphids depend on the obligate symbiont Buchnera aphidicola, which may constrain thermal tolerance. Using a factorial heatwave experiment, we exposed nymphs and adults to moderate or extreme temperatures and measured fitness and symbiont responses.

Insect Science, EarlyView.Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) signaling via its receptor has integral roles in mosquito physiology, mediating fluid excretion, stimulating hindgut contractions, and in modulating uric acid levels. Together, these results uncover previously unrecognized roles of prostaglandin signaling in osmotic balance and metabolic homeostasis in mosquitoes.
