Moth traps shine a light on nocturnal parasitoid wasps: Snapshot assessment of UK diversity and distributions

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Biological datasets are biased towards well‐known, charismatic taxa, meaning that our understanding of biodiversity is incomplete. Parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera) are an ecologically important, yet often overlooked group of insects. We show that 5 months of sampling for parasitoid ‘bycatch’ at moth light traps operated by citizen scientists provides ...

Interactions of land use and climate change disproportionately impact Lepidoptera of the five major insect orders

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Land use and climate change are two major environmental pressures that interact to impact insect biodiversity. We compared the impacts of land use alone and of the interaction between land use and climate change on the five major insect orders. Most impacted were the Lepidoptera, showing 91% lower total abundance in sites of high‐intensity agriculture ...

From biology to biotechnology: Host‐regulation factors from parasitoid wasps are a source of bioactive molecules with translational potential

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

Genome assembly of Elcysma westwoodi provides insights into host‐plant cyanogenic glucoside detoxification and chemical defence gene evolution

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
A chromosome‐level genome of Elcysma westwoodi was assembled. The genome encodes 272 detoxification‐related genes. A single‐copy bCAS was retained for cyanide detoxification. CYP405A and CYP332A were recruited into cyanogenic defence evolution. UGT33A retained a conserved GT‐B fold and catalytic domains.

RNA activation in insects: From emerging evidence to molecular applications

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Canonical RNA activation involves small RNAs interacting with promoter sequences, but there is also evidence of non‐canonical RNAa in eukaryotes. Emerging evidence suggests the presence of RNAa in insects. RNAa can be utilised as a tool for functional genomic studies in insects.
