Contrasting effects of vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores on leaf litter decomposition in terrestrial ecosystems: A meta‐analysis

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivores influence litter quality, soil properties and decomposer communities, with cascading effects on litter decomposition. Vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores can affect decomposition through the same two pathways (litter quality‐ and soil‐mediated) but are ...

Community‐level plant functional strategies explain ecosystem carbon storage across a tropical elevational gradient

Journal of Ecology, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that major plant functional strategies manifest at the community level along elevational gradients. These strategies also explain variation in carbon storage, although above‐ground storage is mostly driven by trait effects, and below‐ground storage by direct effects of climate.

Taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional β‐diversity of stream algae is driven by the number of added nutrients and herbivory

Journal of Ecology, EarlyView.
Higher numbers of added nutrients (NAN) in treatment (T) relative to control (C) algal communities (1) and grazing (2) elevated taxonomic/phylogenetic nestedness (βNes) and functional gradient (βGra) components of β‐diversity. Herbivory favoured grazer‐resistant inferior competitors (2).

Microinjection‐enabled gene silencing in first instar larvae of western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis, reveals vital genes for larval survival

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces a microinjection technique to deliver dsRNA into the hemolymph of first instar larval thrips (L1s) via the foreleg coxa, enhancing survival rates by minimizing internal tissue damage. Significant knockdown of V‐ATPase‐B, CYP3653A2, and ApoLp‐II/I was achieved, with silencing of CYP3653A2 or ApoLp‐II/I increasing larval mortality ...

Evaluation of two candidate molecules—TCTP and cecropin—on the establishment of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense into the gut of Glossina palpalis gambiensis

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the potential of enhancing the resistance of Glossina palpalis gambiensis to Trypanosoma brucei gambiense to mitigate the transmission of Human African Trypanosomiasis. We successfully cloned genes encoding proteins of interest in Sodalis strains, resulting in recombinant Sodalis (recSodalis) that were micro‐injected into the L3
