Recently Evolved, Stage‐Specific Genes Are Enriched at Life‐Stage Transitions in Flies

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
We discovered that 20%–30% of protein‐coding genes in Drosophila melanogaster and Aedes aegypti are only expressed during specific stages of development. Surprisingly, many of these stage‐specific genes are newly evolved, unique to flies and mosquitoes, shedding light on how insect development has evolved over time.

Lethal effects of allyl isothiocyanate on the egg masses of flighted spongy moth complex Lymantria dispar japonica (Lepidoptera: Erebidae)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This study showed that AITC substance was lethal effect to Lymantria dispar japonica egg mass, and our results show a significant decline in egg hatching rate with increasing AITC concentrations. Abstract BACKGROUND The flighted spongy moth complex (FSMC) lays egg masses not only on host plants but also various artificial structures, such as, cargo ...

Riparian Vegetation and Arthropod Responses to Dam Removal and Habitat Restoration Along the Kalamazoo River, Michigan, USA

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riparian ecosystems harbor diverse biota and provide numerous services to rivers including mitigating sediment run‐off, regulating temperature, and contributing food‐web subsidies. Dams are a major threat to riparian communities, but dam removal and riparian restoration efforts have the potential to restore these communities and the services ...

Occurrence characteristics of microplastics in Dongting Lake, China

River, EarlyView.
Abstract Lakes are critical sinks for terrigenous microplastics (MPs), yet understanding their ecological risks remains hindered by data uncertainties and the absence of local background values. In this study, an enhanced pollution load index (PLI) model integrating stochastic mathematical methods and species sensitivity distributions (SSD) was ...
