Testing host-plant driven speciation in phytophagous insects : a phylogenetic perspective [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 During the last two decades, ecological speciation has been a major research theme in evolutionary biology. Ecological speciation occurs when reproductive isolation between populations evolves as a result of niche differentiation. Phytophagous insects represent model systems for the study of this evolutionary process.

RACK7 Interacts with PRC2 Complex to Regulate Astrocyte Development
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The study investigates the role of RACK7 in brain development using a conditional knockout mouse model. RACK7 deficiency results in developmental defects and abnormal astrocyte development by disrupting H3K27me3 chromatin binding. The underlying mechanism involves RACK7 interacting with the PRC2 complex to regulate the genomic localization of SUZ12 and

Inhibition of Ferroptosis Delays Aging and Extends Healthspan Across Multiple Species
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study identifies ferroptosis as a key driver of cellular senescence, with its inhibition delaying aging and extending healthspan across species. During senescence, ferroptosis worsens, increasing oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, which accelerate aging.

Pollen limitation of native plant reproduction in an urban landscape
American Journal of Botany, Volume 109, Issue 12, Page 1969-1980, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Premise Evidence suggests that bees may benefit from moderate levels of human development. However, the effects of human development on pollination and reproduction of bee‐pollinated plants are less‐well understood. Studies have measured natural variation in pollination and plant reproduction as a function of urbanization, but few have ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV) infection induces production of neophytadiene, a volatile resulting from chlorophyll degradation that is highly attractive to whiteflies. OBP2, an odorant‐binding protein from insect vector B. tabaci, exhibits a strong binding affinity for neophytadiene.
