Assessing predation pressure of Vespa velutina on local fauna through DNA metabarcoding

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
This study investigates the predation pressure exerted by the invasive yellow‐legged hornet (Vespa velutina) on native insect populations in Mallorca, using DNA metabarcoding to analyze their diet. Results reveal a diverse prey spectrum, including key insect groups such as Apidae (bees), Calliphoridae (blowflies), and Vespidae (wasps), with no ...

Behavioural and physiological adaptations of a jumping spider to a marine environment

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
We investigated aspects of Maratus marinus (Salticidae) behaviour and physiology that allow it to exploit the intertidal zone of its habitat and survive periods of submergence. In a simulated rising tide, spiders within densely constructed nests remained, continuing to respire while submerged. Spiders in flimsily built nests fled the oncoming tide, and

A time course analysis through diapause reveals dynamic temporal patterns of microRNAs associated with endocrine regulation in the butterfly Pieris napi

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Organisms inhabiting highly seasonal environments must cope with a wide range of environmentally induced challenges. Many seasonal challenges require extensive physiological modification to survive. In winter, to survive extreme cold and limited resources, insects commonly enter diapause, which is an endogenously derived dormant state ...

Change Your Diet: How CO2, Plant Phenology and Genotype Alter Grapevine Quality and Affect Performance and Larval Transcriptome of an Insect Herbivore

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Herbivorous insects need to cope with changing host plant biochemistry caused by abiotic and biotic impacts, to meet their dietary requirements. Larvae of the multivoltine European grapevine moth Lobesia botrana, one of the main insect pests in viticulture, feed on both flowers and berries.

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
