The Endosymbiont Consortia of Two Cixiidae Planthoppers Reveal an Ancient Symbiosis With 'Candidatus Mirabilia Symbiotica'. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Many insects harbour ancient beneficial endosymbionts that produce essential nutrients. Two planthopper species from the Cixiidae family harbour different tripartite endosymbiont consortia, including a previously unknown and likely ancient Gammaproteobacterium in addition to Karelsulcia and Vidania.

Chemosensory System Decoding: Transcriptome-Wide Identification and Expression Profiling of Olfactory Genes in <i>Lytta sifanica</i>. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Lytta sifanica (Coleoptera: Meloidae), a species of significant economic importance, is renowned for its production of the toxic compound cantharidin. In this research, Zhou and colleagues collected specimens of this insect and identified seventy olfactory‐related genes through transcriptomic analysis of adult antennae in L. sifanica. Sequence homology

Comparative Analyses of Gut Microbiomes in Hycleus cichorii (Coleoptera: Meloidae) Adults Reveal Their Distinct Microbes, Microbial Diversity and Composition Associated to Food. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The study analyzed the gut microbial diversity and composition of H. cichorii with different dietary habits and genders. The results showed that an elevated richness in food composition corresponds to a higher diversity of gut microbial species in the host. It suggests that food plays a significant role in the composition of the gut microbial community,

An Enigmatic Cretaceous Beetle in Kachin Amber With Tentative Affinities to Pythidae (Coleoptera: Tenebrionoidea). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We describe and illustrate a new tenebrionoid beetle from mid‐Cretaceous Kachin amber, Glyphonotum hsiaoi gen. et sp. nov. Based on morphological comparison and phylogenetic analyses, we tentatively place Glyphonotum in the extant family Pythidae, representing the first Mesozoic fossil of this family.
