Plasticity in climate change responses

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent research has shown that climate change can both induce and modulate the expression of plastic traits but our understanding of the role of phenotypic plasticity as an adaptive response to climate change is limited. In this review, we dissect the mechanisms and impact of phenotypic plasticity as a response to accumulating climatic ...

Epidemiology of spider mite sensitivity: a meta-analysis and systematic review

Clinical and Translational Allergy, 2018
Background Spider mites, including Tetranychus urticae, Panonychus citri, and Panonychus ulmi, are common pests in gardens, greenhouses, and orchards.

Cave depth and subterranean connectivity are drivers of intraspecific trait variability in two subterranean congeneric beetles

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
The abundance of cave beetles increases with depth, with Duvalius hartigi exhibiting maximum densities at greater depths in volcanic systems. Troglomorphic traits become more pronounced with increasing depth exclusively in the alpine species Duvalius carantii.

Potential climate warming effects on the distribution of an invasive alien pest species

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Drosophila suzukii (SWD) has low resistance to heat waves. The incidence of SWD differed between Illyric‐ and Pannonian climate zone. Desert days (frequency) only increased in the Pannonian zone. Abstract Climate warming can be a powerful driver for the establishment and further spread of alien species by lowering the abiotic resistance of native ...

Beyond Focal Pests: Impact of a Neonicotinoid Seed Treatment and Resistant Soybean Lines on a Non-Target Arthropod

Insects, 2016
Integrated pest management (IPM) tactics may effectively control focal pests, but it is also important to test the compatibility of different tactics, and consider non-target organisms.

A burst of ABC genes in the genome of the polyphagous spider mite Tetranychus urticae

BMC Genomics, 2013
BackgroundThe ABC (ATP-binding cassette) gene superfamily is widespread across all living species. The majority of ABC genes encode ABC transporters, which are membrane-spanning proteins capable of transferring substrates across biological membranes by ...

Nietzsche at the Deathbed: the Eternal Recurrence as a Counter to the ‘Preaching of Death’

The Heythrop Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract In recent scholarship, the dominant reading of Nietzsche’s concept of the eternal recurrence has been as a thought experiment. This paper responds to this in two ways. First, this paper relocates eternal recurrence in the context of Nietzsche’s abiding concern with the ‘preaching of death’, a powerful, life‐negating weapon of the ascetic ...

What do we know about insect responses to global change? A review of meta‐analyses on global change drivers

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We reviewed 75 meta‐analyses examining the effects of global change stressors on insects. We found that most global change stressors harm insects, with pesticides having the highest proportion of negative effects. Global change more frequently caused harm to higher trophic levels and beneficial insects, whereas herbivores were less often harmed.

Deciphering the Metabolic Changes Associated with Diapause Syndrome and Cold Acclimation in the Two-Spotted Spider Mite Tetranychus urticae

PLoS ONE, 2013
Diapause is a common feature in several arthropod species that are subject to unfavorable growing seasons. The range of environmental cues that trigger the onset and termination of diapause, in addition to associated hormonal, biochemical, and molecular ...

SYNCAS‐mediated CRISPR‐Cas9 genome editing in the Jewel wasp, Nasonia vitripennis

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Maternal injection of Cas9 RNP together with BAPC and saponins (SYNCAS) results in efficient gene editing of Nasonia vitripennis offspring. The timing of injection and egg collection is important for maximising efficiency and reducing screening effort.
