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

open access: yesInsect 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.

Spider communities in the aboveground oak forests of central Europe are determined by vertical scale: An important missing link for biodiversity conservation

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
Abundance of spiders and species richness increased from the ground level to the canopy in oak forests. Spiders with some specific ecological traits in the sample (such as hunting strategy, dispersal ability, occurrence and light requirements) are specifically distributed in the vertical direction.

Understanding the impact of host plant factors on the oviposition behaviour of the cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala)

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
The cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) is an important pest of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) in Europe. The objective of the present study was to gain a better understanding of host plant related factors affecting its oviposition behaviour with the aim of developing new sustainable control strategies.

Optimising Age‐Specific Insulin Signalling to Slow Down Reproductive Ageing Increases Fitness in Different Nutritional Environments

open access: yesAging Cell, EarlyView.
We found that reducing insulin signalling in adult worms slows down their reproductive ageing and extends their lifespan without negative side effects. Moreover, combining it with IF further enhances these benefits. These interventions likely work by regulating genes linked to biosynthesis and immunity, showing how optimising gene expression can delay ...

Gelis melanogaster

open access: yes, 2016
7. Gelis melanogaster (THOMSON, 1884) Hemiteles melanogaster THOMSON, 1884 – Lectotypus (♀) untersucht (Lund). G. melanogaster (THOMSON) ist ähnlich G. meruleus nov.sp., G. zeirapherator (AUBERT) und G. elymi (THOMSON) und unterscheidet sich neben den in der Bestimmungstabelle angegebenen Merkmalen durch rauere Skulptur auf der Stirn, am ...

Dietary Zinc Limitation Dictates Lifespan and Reproduction Trade‐Offs of Drosophila Mothers

open access: yesAging Cell, EarlyView.
Dietary metal ions significantly influence the lifespan and reproduction of Drosophila females. In this study, we show that not adding any of the metal ions to the diet adversely affects reproduction and lifespan. By contrast, food with no added Zn negatively impacts reproduction but not maternal lifespan, suggesting that female flies stop producing ...
