A putative case of honeyeater‐driven sympatric speciation associated with corolla shape shift resulting in a new New Caledonian Oxera species

open access: yesJournal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
This study investigates the morphology and ecology of two sympatric species of the Oxera (Lamiaceae) genus in New Caledonia along with their respective putative pollinators. We find that two species of honeyeaters Glycifohia undulata and Philemon diemenensis are likely the preferred pollinators, respectively, of O.

Bumble Bees and Honey Bees on Islands Harbour Reduced Viral Species Richness, Yet Honey Bee Populations Are Dominated by a Deformed Wing Virus Recombinant

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pollinators harbour diverse RNA viromes that play a vital role in their health. Yet, factors that shape viral communities are often unclear. The European honey bee (Apis mellifera) is experiencing a viral epidemic since the emergence of the parasitic mite Varroa destructor (varroa) introduced vector‐borne transmission, which has also been ...

Inter‐Caste Comparison Reveals a Unique Bioenergetic Signature in Long‐Lived Ant Queens

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Within the same species of eusocial insects, individuals of different castes typically display widely different life‐history traits: sterile workers live for a few months, while queens can live for decades. Ageing theories emphasise the importance of metabolism and oxidative stress in explaining longevity, with mitochondrial bioenergetics ...
