Global Patterns in Body Size and Colour Lightness Diversity of Swallowtail Butterflies Highlight Biogeographical Legacy Over Common Environmental Explanations

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Differences in the functional traits of co‐occurring species drive species' interactions and sustain key ecosystem services. However, the historical and contemporary environmental drivers of, as well as the surrogacy of conventional range‐based diversity metrics for, this functional diversity remain poorly understood.

Staurosporine Targets Mitochondrial Regulator VdAtuA3 to Disrupt Mitochondrial Homeostasis to Control Verticillium Wilt

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 9, Page 5131-5151, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Mitochondria serve as cellular powerhouses that generate ATP via electron transport chain complexes and orchestrate metabolism‐apoptosis cross‐talk, yet genes maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis remain underexplored as antifungal targets. In this study, a previously uncharacterised protein VdAtuA3 was identified as a novel interactor with ...

Comparative Analysis of Colletotrichum Isolates From Apple Tree Reveals Differences in Response to Temperature, Organ Preference and Cultivar Affinity

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
Colletotrichum siamense, C. grossum, C. chrysophilum and C. fioriniae, associated with apple bitter rot and Glomerella leaf spot, exhibited distinct thermotolerance patterns both in vitro and in planta, along with differences in spore germination and the colonization of apple fruits and leaves.

Trade-offs between melanization, development time and adult size in Inachis io and Araschnia levana (Lepidoptera : Nymphalidae)?

, 1999
: Effects of melanization in the juvenile stages of the European map butterfly (Araschnia levana) and the peacock butterfly (Inachis io) on the life history traits, larval and pupal development time and size at maturity, and on adult melanization were ...

Expression and Functional Analysis of Peptidoglycan Recognition Protein OfPGRP-B in Ostrinia furnacalis

Insects
To elucidate the role of the peptidoglycan recognition protein OfPGRP-B in the innate immunity of Ostrinia furnacalis, a recombinant expression system was established using a prokaryotic expression strategy.

Histone Acetylation Enhancing Host Melanization in Response to Parasitism by an Endoparasitoid Wasp

Insects
Endoparasitoids are insects that develop within other insects, employing unique strategies to enhance their offspring’s survival. They inject polydnavirus and/or venom into their hosts along with eggs, effectively suppressing the host’s immune system ...
