High Quality Diet Enhances Immune Response and Affects Gene Expression During Viral Infection in an Insect Herbivore

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Herbivorous insects tolerate chemical and metabolic variation in their host plant diet by modulating physiological traits. Insect immune response is one such trait that plays a crucial role in maintaining fitness but can be heavily influenced by variation in host plant quality.

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 ...

Assigning Phenologically Asynchronous Moths to Source Populations Using Individual Genotypes

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana; SBW) is a periodically outbreaking forest insect pest that affects the boreal forests of North America through extensive defoliation and tree mortality. Causes of widespread spatial synchrony of SBW outbreaks remain a key question in the ecology and management of this species.

Citizen scientists mapping the United Kingdom's and Republic of Ireland's flat flies (louse flies) (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) reveal a vector's range shift

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The Common or Bird Louse Fly Ornithomya avicularia, a vector of Haemoproteus sp. and trypanosomes, has undergone a major northwards range expansion in the United Kingdom since the 1960s. The Finch Louse Fly Ornithomya fringillina has also expanded its range northwards and westwards, and the Swallow Louse Fly Ornithomya biloba is now established in ...
