Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Assessing the Efficacy of Steinernema carpocapsae for Biological Control of Megaselia halterata on Mushroom Farms

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Steinernema carpocapsae applications averaged 40%–60% mortality of mushroom phorid larvae in laboratory experiments. Survival experiments showed that nematode populations drop 50% approximately 5 days post application in mushroom compost. ABSTRACT Mushroom phorid flies (Megaselia halterata; MPF) are a major pest of commercial mushroom production, where

Imidacloprid Alters Activity and Responses to a Visual Predator Stimulus in Aussie Bronze Jumping Spiders (Helpis minitabunda, Araneae, Salticidae)

Ethology, EarlyView.
A field‐recommended concentration of a commercial imidacloprid formulation reduced open arena activity and slowed climbing in the jumping spider Helpis minitabunda. Exposed spiders still detected a looming predator stimulus, but their responses were reduced.

Hydrothermal origin of metabolic phosphorylation

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Serpentinizing hydrothermal vents are candidate sites for biochemical origins. They generate extremely reducing conditions, depositing phosphite (HPO32−) and transition metals, including palladium, in the native (zero‐valent) state. Schlikker et al.
