Maritime midge radiations in the Pacific Ocean (Diptera: Chironomidae)

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 1, Page 111-126, January 2023., 2023
We identify and confirm eight transitions from freshwater to the marine realm in the Chironomidae, based on a fossil‐calibrated phylogenetic framework. We recognise for the first time an unexpected but robust sister group of Pontomyia to be a new clade of exclusively marine species, Yaetanytarsus, forming the sister group to the diverse and global ...

An integrative strategy used by the aphid Uroleucon formosanum to counter host sesquiterpene lactone defense: Insights from combined genomic and transcriptomic analysis

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
We report the first high‐quality chromosome‐level genome assembly for the aphid Uroleucon formosanum, a serious pest that infests lettuce in eastern Asia. A combination of comparative genomic analyses and RNA‐seq transcriptome profiling suggests that U. formosanum employs integrative mechanisms to cope with host plant‐derived sesquiterpene lactone (STL)

Allometric Constraint Predominates Over the Acoustic Adaptation Hypothesis in a Radiation of Neotropical Treefrogs

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Male frogs emit calls to attract mates and deter conspecific rivals. The evolution of these calls is thought to be linked to anatomical constraints and the acoustic characteristics of their surroundings. We tested these two factors in a radiation of 112 species of Neotropical treefrogs and found that body size and calling site affect peak frequency but

Collision Course: How Iran and Israel Brought the Middle East to the Brink of War

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This policy analysis asks: what has caused and now sustains the violent escalation cycle that is re‐defining the Middle East and how will this all end? It analyses Iran and Israel's grand strategies. It argues that both employ force to achieve strategic depth and both bifurcate the region into two blocs doomed to constantly fight for hegemony.
