Variation in physiological host range in three strains of two species of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria [PDF]

, 2018
Knowledge of the host range of a biocontrol agent (BCA) is fundamental. Host range determines the BCA's economic potential, as well as the possible risk for non-target organisms. Entomopathogenic fungal strains belonging to the genus Beauveria are widely

The shared benefits of fallen fruits: A novel mechanism stabilizing a nursery pollination mutualism between Sambucus and kateretid beetles

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how cooperative interactions remain stable matters for biodiversity because many plants rely on specialist insects that can also impose reproductive costs. We studied the interaction between Sambucus sieboldiana and seed‐consuming Heterhelus beetles through detailed field observations and pollination experiments.

miRNA-1-3p is an early embryonic male sex-determining factor in the Oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis

Nature Communications, 2020
In insects, Y chromosome-linked male determining factor can determine sex, but the sex determination factor of the Oriental Fruit fly is unknown. Here the authors show that an autosomal-derived miR-1-3p is enriched in males, suppressing the expression of
