Virtual dissection of Aedes aegypti mosquito using phase‐contrast synchrotron microtomography

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract In this paper, in‐line phase‐contrast synchrotron microtomography was used to study the morphology of adult Aedes aegypti. These specimens are vectors of several arboviruses, causing dengue, chikungunya, Zika and yellow fever. The morphological details of this insect species are still incomplete and insufficient.

An Early‐Life Disruption of Gut Microbiota Has Opposing Effects on Parasite Resistance in Two Host Species

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gut microbiota regulate multiple aspects of host health, including metabolism and the development of the immune system. However, we still know relatively little about how the gut microbiota influences host responses to parasitism in wild organisms, particularly whether host‐microbiota interactions contribute to variation in parasitism across ...

Evolution of Hybrid Inviability Associated With Chromosome Fusions

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chromosomal rearrangements, such as inversions, have received considerable attention in the speciation literature due to their hampering effects on recombination. Less is known about how other rearrangements, such as chromosome fissions and fusions, can affect the evolution of reproductive isolation. Here, we use crosses between populations of

Resources Modulate Developmental Shifts but Not Infection Tolerance Upon Co‐Infection in an Insect System

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Energetic resources within organisms fuel both parasite growth and immune responses against them, but it is unclear whether energy allocation is sufficient to explain changes in infection outcomes under the threat of multiple parasites. We manipulated diet in flour beetles (Tribolium confusum) infected with two natural parasites and used a ...

The Genetics of Host Plant Acceptance in Pea Aphids

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The evolution of host‐associated sympatric populations in phytophagous insects (so called “host races”) connects adaptive divergence to barriers to gene flow. Pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum) host races specialise on legume species, and because host plant choice leads to assortative mating, the genetic basis of host plant acceptance is key to ...
