Insights into the subgenera Chrysolina s. str. and Rhyssoloma Woll. of Chrysolina Mots. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Chrysomelinae)

Natural History Sciences, 2023
The taxonomic position of Chrysolina costalis and C. wollastoni in the subgenera Chrysolina s. str. or Rhyssoloma is ambiguous. Recently, they have moved from the former to the latter subgenus, by taking four morphological characters.

Genetic differentiation and adaptive evolution of buff‐tailed bumblebees in Asia

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the genetic differentiation and local adaptation of the buff‐tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) across its European and Asian populations. Using whole‐genome resequencing, we identified distinct genetic differences between populations, with Asian B. terrestris representing a unique genetic resource.

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated mutagenesis of the white‐eye gene in the tephritid pest Bactrocera zonata

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Bactrocera zonata is a highly invasive agricultural pest that causes extensive damage to fruit crops. The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), a species‐specific and environmentally friendly pest control method, significantly benefits from the availability of Genetic Sexing Strains (GSSs) that enable efficient mass production of males for sterile ...

Multi‐omics analyses shed lights on the evolution and fruit development of Chinese raspberries (Rubus spp.)

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
High‐quality genomes of four wild raspberry species, analysis of their genetic relationships, identification of centromeres as markers for tracing their hybrid origins, exploration of fruit quality regulation, and discovery of a gene blocking anthocyanin transport and thus causing yellow fruits provides valuable resources for raspberry breeding ...

Benthoplanidae, a new family of benthic ctenophores (Platyctenida), based on morphological and genetic data

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
The benthic ctenophore Benthoplana meteoris (adults left and bottom, planktonic juveniles to the top right), type species for the genus, which in turn is type for the newly erected family: Benthoplanidae (Ctenophora, Platyctenida). Abstract We present a phylogenetic analysis of benthic ctenophores of the order Platyctenida, sampling all but one genus ...
