Insect Science, EarlyView.This diagram illustrates that the horizontally transferred panBC influences the level and localization of vitellogenin (Vg) by facilitating pantothenate production and juvenile hormone (JH) biosynthesis. In turn, Vg shields symbionts by suppressing autophagic degradation in bacteriocytes.

Insect Science, EarlyView.A bacterial‐derived AvPBL gene encoding a pantothenate‐β‐alanine ligase was identified in Amphitetranychus viennensis. RNAi silencing of AvPBL reduced pantothenic acid production, impairing reproduction and diapause induction, while pantothenic acid supplementation rescued these phenotypes.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Metagenomic sequencing was used to analyze fecal microbiota of captive male forest musk deer (FMD) from the Sichuan Institute of Musk Deer Breeding across ages and musk‐secreting periods. Gut microbiota was generally stable and dominated by Firmicutes, while age and musk secretion shaped microbial composition and function, with musk collection linked ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Seasonal variation significantly reshaped gut microbiota composition in migratory passerine species, whereas the resident species Suthora webbiana showed no clear seasonal shift. Species with similar migratory behaviors exhibited consistent seasonal patterns in their core gut microbiota.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.① Nutrient deficiency upregulates inhibin βB, activating SMAD signaling to promote p21. Increased p21 inhibits mcm2/mcm4/mcm5 and cyclin E2, inducing G1‐phase arrest, slowing growth, and reducing energy consumption. ② Inhibin βB also upregulates pdgf‐c, which induces α‐SMA, leading to muscle satellite cell fibrosis.

HGTScanner: Detecting horizontal gene transfer at the fine scale using whole organelle genomes
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has profoundly shaped eukaryotic organellar genomes like plant mitochondria. Yet no generalized tools are currently available to efficiently characterize HGT across these genomes due to both high structural complexity and low sequence divergence compared to prokaryotic HGTs.

Estimating absolute DNA abundance from replicated metabarcoding
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Datasets derived from mixed‐template DNA amplification and sequencing (‘metabarcoding’) are common in environmental DNA (eDNA), microbiome or microbial ecology analyses. Such metabarcoding data have been broadly used to inform estimates of biodiversity, distribution and abundance across a wide range of species and habitats.

Allergy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Among bacteria that are associated with the development and/or exacerbation of allergic/atopic diseases, several have been described to produce IgE‐binding components. However, only one bacterial protein, Bac s 1, is currently listed in the official database of the World Health Organization/International Union of Immunological Societies (WHO ...
