Endosymbionts Alter Larva-to-Nymph Transstadial Transmission of Babesia microti in Rhipicephalus haemaphysaloides Ticks

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Maternally inherited endosymbionts inhabit a variety of arthropods. Some of them can protect the arthropod host against a wide range of pathogens. However, very little is known about the association between endosymbionts and pathogen susceptibility in ...

The price of protection: a defensive endosymbiont impairs nymph growth in the bird cherry‐oat aphid, Rhopalosiphum padi

open access: yesInsect Science, 2018
Bacterial endosymbionts have enabled aphids to adapt to a range of stressors, but their effects in many aphid species remain to be established. The bird cherry‐oat aphid, Rhopalosiphum padi (Linnaeus), is an important pest of cereals worldwide and has ...

Dynamic eIF3‐S6 Phase Separation Switch Instructed by m6A Modification Drives the Molting of Locusts

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This research reveals that reduced m6A modifications during insect molting trigger liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) of the m6A reader eIF3‐S6, which binds and stabilizes key molting mRNAs, including EcR and Cht10. Disrupting m6A or LLPS causes cuticle remodeling defects and molting failure, highlighting the synergistic control of gene expression ...

The importance of collaboration, interdisciplinarity, and transdisciplinarity in grassland research

open access: yesGrassland Research, EarlyView.
Levels of holistic research integration for transformative impact in grassland conservation. The diagram illustrates a progression from single‐discipline research to collaborative, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary approaches, while knowledge transfer bridges science and society. Abstract Grasslands are among the most biodiverse and ecologically
