Genomic Access to Monarch Migration Using TALEN and CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Targeted Mutagenesis

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016
The eastern North American monarch butterfly, Danaus plexippus, is an emerging model system to study the neural, molecular, and genetic basis of animal long-distance migration and animal clockwork mechanisms.

Generation Rather Than Sex Shapes Wing Morphology in Cydalima perspectalis (Lepidoptera, Crambidae): Insights From Geometric Morphometrics and Climate‐Based Projections

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
An integrated framework combining geometric morphometrics and ecological niche modeling was applied to Cydalima perspectalis to assess intergenerational morphological variation, test sexual dimorphism, and predict future distribution under climate scenarios. Wing shape effectively discriminated between generations but not between sexes.

Assessing risk of Lymantria dispar L. invasion management to monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus)

Conservation Science and Practice, 2021
Conflicting conservation goals that lead to management tradeoffs are not uncommon in conservation practice. In this study, we explore a potential conflict between the management of a destructive invasive insect pest, Lymantria dispar, and conservation of

Never Mind the Bollards: Exploring the Role of GCHQ, MI5, and the National Technical Authorities in UK Security Markets

The Howard Journal of Crime and Justice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The cultures and governance of security markets in the United Kingdom are often characterised through a paradoxical narrative of simultaneous state retreat and progressive advance. In the face of repeated recent high‐profile security failures, and global changes in material political economy, we argue that UK security governance is adapting to

Is urbanisation a barrier to genetic diversity in the solitary specialist bee, Melissodes druriellus?

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Bees are integral pollinators commonly found in and supported by urban green spaces; however, their eco‐evolutionary response to urbanisation varies interspecifically. While several studies have explored the population and landscape genetics of bees in response to urbanisation, few have examined solitary or specialist species which may be more ...

Dispersal mediates metapopulation response to local and regional stressors

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
A feature of recent insect declines is that widespread, formerly common species are among the worst affected. We designed a metapopulation simulation to ask how dispersal capability interacts with landscape and population stressors that act at different spatial scales.

Recent Forest Cover Loss in the Core Zones of the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve in Mexico

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2019
The Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve (MBBR) in central Mexico was established in 2000 to protect monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) overwintering colonies and contribute to the conservation of the monarch migratory phenomenon.

Entangling and Coalescing on Social Media: A Study of Issue Boundary Spanning in Movement of Movements

Information Systems Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how issues across boundaries influence contention dynamics in a movement of movements on social media. Participants utilize social media to support or oppose goals and actions related to their visions regarding societal changes. As the boundaries of movements are fluid on social media, we investigate the actors' identities,

Asymmetric Regulatory Embeddedness and Post‐Brexit Governance: Explaining Adaptive Convergence in the United Kingdom

JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Why has the United Kingdom repeatedly restored substantive compatibility with European Union (EU) regulatory norms despite formal withdrawal? This article introduces the concept of asymmetric regulatory embeddedness (ARE) to explain post‐membership governance in highly integrated sectors. ARE captures the structural condition in which a former

Northern cod (Gadus morhua) movement: insights from acoustic telemetry and genomics

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Knowledge of the timing and diversity of fish movements within a commercially exploited stock complex is required to ensure the sustainability of fisheries. Although migration can be driven by environmental factors, genomic mechanisms also play an important role in this complex life‐history trait. The northern cod (Gadus morhua) stock complex,
