Squash Silverleaf Disorder (SLD) is growing in its economic impact due to the invasive behaviour of the silverleaf whitefly (Bemisia tabaci MEAM1). In this review we summarize what is currently known about the whitefly‐squash interaction, how both the disease and the whitefly are being affected by climate change, and discuss current and novel ...

Phylogeny Drives Carrion Consumption by Vertebrate Scavengers Towards Distantly Related Species
Carrion is a highly nutritious resource that plays a key role in ecosystem functioning, but may pose pathogen risks, particularly between phylogenetically close carcass‐scavenger pairs. Using camera traps, we assessed how phylogenetic distance influenced scavenging in a Mediterranean wetland.

Virulent Parasites Emerge in Hosts With Rising Temperatures
Using experimental evolution we explored the short‐term trajectory of parasite evolution—at the phenotypic and genomic scales—across environmentally relevant temperatures in a thermally mismatched host–parasite interaction. Our findings suggest that shifting environmental temperatures will leave phenotypic and genomic signatures on evolving parasites ...

ABSTRACT Microbial communities entering wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) through untreated sewage represent an important interface between human, environmental, and treatment‐associated microbiomes, yet our understanding of their biogeography remains poorly resolved, particularly for microbial eukaryotes.
