Climate underpins continent‐wide patterns of carotenoid‐based feather colour consistent with Gloger's observations

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Temperature and rainfall were posited by Gloger and Görnitz to explain a pattern they observed of greater carotenoid colour intensity towards the tropics. We test this hypothesis in a continent‐wide distribution of tinkerbirds and find support for the role of both climatic factors in underpinning latitudinal gradients in underpart coloration.

Genetic modification of the ant Lasius niger using CRISPR‐Cas9 technology

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 11-25, February 2023., 2023
We successfully modified the cinnabar gene in the black garden ant (Lasius niger) resulting in an abnormal eye colour in mutated adults. We provide a detailed protocol to collect ant eggs, inject them with CRISPR‐Cas9 construct, rear the eggs to adults and verify mutants by sequencing the target gene.

Differential gene expression in Chorthippus parallelus (Zetterstedt, 1821) (Orthoptera: Acrididae: Gomphocerinae) induced by Wolbachia infection

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Distinct lineages of the grasshopper Chorthippus parallelus (Orthoptera: Acrididae) form a well‐known hybrid zone (HZ) in the Pyrenees mountain range; the Iberian endemism C. p. erythropus (Cpe) and the subspecies C. p. parallelus, (Cpp) widely distributed throughout the rest of Europe. Both subspecies differ in diverse traits, including the strains of

Winter fruit contribution to the performance of the invasive fruit fly Drosophila suzukii under different thermal regimes

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Highlights: The contribution of winter and early spring‐available fruit (Aucuba japonica, Elaeagnus ×submacrophylla, and Viscum album) to the performance of D. suzukii depended on their P:C ratio and biophysical properties Even though D. suzukii performance was the lowest in A.
