Host and symbiont genetic contributions to fitness in a Trichogramma-Wolbachia symbiosis. [PDF]

, 2018
The fitness effects associated with Wolbachia infection have wide-ranging ecological and evolutionary consequences for host species. How these effects are modulated by the relative influence of host and Wolbachia genomes has been described as a balancing

Diagnoses, Distribution, and Comparative Life History Notes on \u3ci\u3eAaroniella Maculosa\u3c/i\u3e (Aaron) and \u3ci\u3eA. Eertmoedi\u3c/i\u3e N.SP. (Psocoptera: Philotarsidae) [PDF]

, 2017
Two species formerly confused under the name Aaroniella maculosa (Aaron) are separated in all life history stages. Application of the name maculosa was determined by examination of the type. The other species is new and is named (A.

The spread of non‐native species

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

MISSEL: a method to identify a large number of small species-specific genomic subsequences and its application to viruses classification [PDF]

, 2016
Continuous improvements in next generation sequencing technologies led to ever-increasing collections of genomic sequences, which have not been easily characterized by biologists, and whose analysis requires huge computational effort.

Nanomaterials' Multigenerational Effects by Single and Joint Exposure in Non‐mammalian Models

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nanotoxicology has mainly focused on single‐generation studies, leaving multigenerational toxicity underexplored. Having animal welfare recently gained importance, we aimed to provide the state‐of‐the‐art of knowledge about multigenerational effects in non‐mammalian models in the case of nanomaterials (NM) single and joint exposure to other ...

Neurotrophin-4 promotes the specification of trophectoderm lineage after parthenogenetic activation and enhances porcine early embryonic development

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Neurotrophin-4 (NT-4), a neurotrophic factor, appears to affect early embryonic development because it is secreted not only by neurons but also by oviductal and uterine epithelial cells. However, no studies have characterized the effects of NT-4 on early

Abjection and Sexually Specific Violence in Doris Lessing’s The Cleft [PDF]

, 2014
The article applies selected concepts from the writings of Julia Kristeva to the analysis of a novel by Doris Lessing entitled The Cleft. Published in 2007, The Cleft depicts the origin of sexual difference in the human species.

Heating up parasitoid–host interactions: High temperature increased mortality of late‐instar braconid larvae and reduced ladybird recovery rate

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract With ongoing climate change, temperature‐dependent outcomes of host–parasitoid interactions can affect ecosystem functioning and key ecosystem services such as biological control. However, most studies addressing the impacts of temperature on host–parasitoid systems are

The role of endosymbionts in the evolution of haploid-male genetic systems in scale insects (Coccoidea) [PDF]

, 2012
There is an extraordinary diversity in genetic systems across species, but this variation remains poorly understood. In part, this is because the mechanisms responsible for transitions between systems are often unknown.

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.
