Advances in research on autophagy in the maintenance of insect–microbe symbiosis

open access: yesNew Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Autophagy plays a dual regulatory role in insect–microbe symbiotic relationships. Beneficial symbiotic bacteria in insects participate in nutrient exchange via the TOR pathway, whereas pathogenic microbes induce immune defense through the AMPK pathway. Autophagy‐related genes regulate development and pathogen clearance during this process.

Coverage‐based rarefaction fails to quantify relative species richness

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Coverage‐based rarefaction (CBR) is a high‐profile tool for assessing biodiversity that provides relative species richness estimates by leveraging the Good‐Turing index u to interpolate. In contrast to alternatives such as the Shannon and Simpson indices, CBR's main appeal is providing values in units of species. CBR is tested against a series of other

Characterising fine‐scale habitat associations for range expanding species with limited data: a case study on the West Nile Virus vector, Culex modestus

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The ecological and epidemiological consequences of species expanding into new areas are growing concomitantly with climate change. Those aiming to monitor species expanding in range must make optimal use of finite resources to deliver effective surveillance capable of detecting new incursions and range expansions.
