Parasites alter host community structure in a natural experiment

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Parasites can alter host communities in complex ways, but empirical data from natural systems are rare. This study decomposes the effects of an invasive parasite on natural communities of fish in Trinidad, revealing the direct, indirect, and context dependence of the invasion on host demographic rates and community structure.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Resistance of Citrus species (Citrus spp.) to the root lesion nematode Pratylenchus sp.

open access: yesCTU Journal of Innovation and Sustainable Development
The study was carried out to evaluate the resistance of various domestic citrus species to the root lesion nematode Pratylenchus sp. for further research in rootstock selection as well as nematode management.

Effect of the microbiome on pathogen susceptibility across four Drosophilidae species

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Four Drosophilidae species were used to investigate how variation in the host microbiome influences susceptibility to infection. Microbial composition and abundance differed among species and treatments. The effects of microbiome manipulation on host survival were both species‐ and pathogen‐specific.

Putative involvement of lncRNA, miRNA, and mRNA‐mediated ceRNA network regulation in drought priming to enhance drought tolerance in Nicotiana tabacum

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
Drought priming increased the tolerance of Nicotiana tabacum to severe, recurring drought stress by modulating the expression of stress‐related genes via long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which acted as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) for microRNAs (miRNAs) and messenger RNAs (mRNAs).
