Requirement of group I lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase for turnover of chitinous cuticle during moulting in two forest pest beetles, Monochamus alternatus and Psacothea hilaris

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Group I LPMO15‐1 cDNAs from two economically important forest insect pests, M. alternatus and P. hilaris, were cloned. MaLPMO15‐1 and PhLPMO15‐1 show a similar pattern of expression during late stages of development. RNAi for LPMO15‐1 causes failure of adult eclosion in both M. alternatus and P. hilaris.

How Do People Conceptualize Narcissism and Narcissistic Individuals?

open access: yesJournal of Personality, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Although past decades have seen notable advances in the conceptualization and assessment of narcissism, scholarship examining lay conceptualizations of the construct remains limited. Method We report two studies utilizing bottom‐up, participant‐driven methodologies to examine public understandings of narcissism and narcissistic ...

Replicated Differential Expression Analysis in a Green‐Brown Polymorphic Grasshopper Reveals Role of Beta‐Carotene‐Binding Protein in Body Coloration

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Orthoptera provide a well‐documented case of transspecies colour polymorphism, with green and brown morphs coexisting in many species. This colour polymorphism is likely under long‐term balancing selection, but the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying the variation remain poorly understood.

From Mud to Meat: Comparative Metabarcoding Reveals Two Different Evolutionary Paths to Carnivory in a Group of Meiofaunal Annelids

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Evolutionary transitions to carnivory represent profound shifts in feeding mode that are often accompanied by widespread changes in organismal function, behaviour and ecology. Such transitions have evolved numerous times among animals, and predator–prey interactions have been major drivers of animal evolution.

Symbiont Gene Expression Predicts Insect Host's Response to High Temperatures

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microbial symbionts play crucial roles in host nutrition, defence, and detoxification. However, host‐symbiont interactions are context‐dependent, and environmental stressors can disrupt these benefits. Diverse hosts, including corals, insects and leguminous plants, have been shown to suffer under thermal stress due to the negative impact of ...
