Insect Science, EarlyView.Overview of the mindset and long‐term goals with the approach suggested in this study. We provide a first proof of concept that male‐killing endosymbionts can be used to establish female biased populations with higher production efficiency than populations with a 50/50 sex ratio. This biological tool can have marked positive impact on future commercial

Genomics of Bacteriophages Infecting Spiroplasma [PDF]
, 2019 Viruses are in a unique position to affect the ecology of many organisms, due to their sheer numbers and diversity. Although traditionally considered pathogens, viruses can engage in more complex and mutualistic associations with their hosts.

Bacteriomes, cryptic forms and evolution of a common wireworm pest species, Hypnoidus bicolor
Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.Wireworms are important agricultural pests, including Hypnoidus bicolor in the Canadian Prairies. Parthenogenetic and sexual populations of H. bicolor appear associated with different molecular clades. Bacterial community composition and structure were influenced by developmental stage, sampling location and host genetics.

Advances in research on autophagy in the maintenance of insect–microbe symbiosis
New Plant Protection, Volume 3, Issue 3, September 2026.Autophagy plays a dual regulatory role in insect–microbe symbiotic relationships. Beneficial symbiotic bacteria in insects participate in nutrient exchange via the TOR pathway, whereas pathogenic microbes induce immune defense through the AMPK pathway. Autophagy‐related genes regulate development and pathogen clearance during this process.

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT Abalone are economically, ecologically and culturally significant marine molluscs, with both wild and farmed populations under pressure due to intrinsic and extrinsic stressors. Abalone performance and health are centred on a highly specialized digestive system supported by a diverse gut microbiome, which enables nutrient assimilation ...

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1805-1829, August 2026.ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Mitochondrial Genome Reduction and Accelerated Evolution in Planktonic Foraminiferans
MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.The mitochondrial genomes of the eukaryotic lineage Retaria (Foraminifera and Radiolaria) show reductions in multiple gene categories, including complex I, transfer RNAs (tRNAs), ribosomal proteins, and ribosomal RNAs. In planktonic foraminifera, this reduction is even more pronounced, with the potential loss of atp and other genes.
