Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Root‐focused resistance in chicory reduces defenses in leaves, impairing root aphids but enhancing foliar aphid performance. Selecting root resistance can create unintended trade‐offs across plant organs. Abstract BACKGROUND Plants are constantly exposed to a wide range of herbivores at both aboveground (AG) and belowground (BG) levels, involving ...

Evolution and comparative ecology of parthenogenesis in haplodiploid arthropods [PDF]
, 2017 Changes from sexual reproduction to female-producing parthenogenesis (thelytoky) have great evolutionary and ecological consequences, but how many times parthenogenesis evolved in different animal taxa is unknown. We present the first exhaustive database

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

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Decision‐making in integrated pest management (IPM) corresponds to an optimisation problem where the plant–pest dynamics and the control actions are constraints and where the objective function accounts for the costs of the treatments and the total income at the harvest time.

A key role for sex chromosomes in the regulation of parthenogenesis in the brown alga Ectocarpus.
PLoS Genetics, 2019 Although evolutionary transitions from sexual to asexual reproduction are frequent in eukaryotes, the genetic bases of these shifts remain largely elusive.

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 ...

Hotter, faster, sicker? Warming shifts the cost of infection from individuals to populations
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This study examines how temperature alters disease impacts across biological scales in a host–pathogen system. We found infected hosts appear healthiest at warm temperatures, yet populations suffer most. This suggests climate warming may intensify disease impacts for populations in ways traditional individual‐level virulence metrics fail to predict ...

The role of parthenogenesis in snakes
, 2021 Parthenogenesis, or the production of embryos from unfertilized eggs, is a form of reproduction that occurs predominantly in different taxa of invertebrates where various types of such reproduction are recognized. Some animal species consist exclusively,

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.
