A horizontally acquired pantothenate gene drives vitellogenin's benefit to whitefly symbiosis persistence

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This diagram illustrates that the horizontally transferred panBC influences the level and localization of vitellogenin (Vg) by facilitating pantothenate production and juvenile hormone (JH) biosynthesis. In turn, Vg shields symbionts by suppressing autophagic degradation in bacteriocytes.

Distinct genomic routes underlie transitions to specialised symbiotic lifestyles in deep-sea annelid worms

Nature Communications, 2023
Bacterial symbioses allow annelids to colonise extreme ecological niches, such as hydrothermal vents and whale falls. Yet, the genetic principles sustaining these symbioses remain unclear.

Microbiota‐Mediated Sequential Gallery Colonization by Adults and Larvae of an Invasive Bark Beetle

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Dispersing adult beetles harbor more pinitol‐degrading microbes to colonize novel host pines with high levels of pinitol stress. These microbes from the beetle's exoskeleton and gut will be transmitted into the gallery via adults’ feeding and frass, whose proliferation in the gallery contributes to the formation of a low‐pinitol microhabitat.

Two Metschnikowia nectar yeast species have similar volatile profiles but elicit differential foraging in bee pollinators

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Yeasts that specialize in flower nectar play an important role in pollination ecology. Metschnikowia reukaufii and Metschnikowia koreensis were the most prevalent nectar yeasts found in our field sites. Bee pollinators exhibited different behavioural responses to nectar yeasts in field experiments. Bees visited more flowers with M.

The Role of Bacterial Symbionts in Triatomines: An Evolutionary Perspective

Microorganisms, 2020
Insects have established mutualistic symbiotic interactions with microorganisms that are beneficial to both host and symbiont. Many insects have exploited these symbioses to diversify and expand their ecological ranges.

ÄSTHETIK DES JIDDISCHEN IN DER KLASSISCHEN MODERNE

German Life and Letters, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Der Beitrag erzählt die Geschichte der Entdeckung und Aufwertung des Jiddischen unter deutschsprachigen Schriftstellerinnen und Schriftstellern. Hatte die zunächst als Judendeutsch, Mauscheln oder Jargon bezeichnete Sprache in literarischen Texten des 19. Jahrhunderts vornehmlich eine mimetische Funktion, in der Regel wie bei Gustav Freytag in

Dietary niche shapes bacterial community in Indo-Pacific ants

Microbiology Spectrum
Ants are among the most ecologically diverse insects, especially in tropical forest ecosystems, yet what shapes their microbial associates remains poorly understood.

DiCoExpress: a tool to process multifactorial RNAseq experiments from quality controls to co-expression analysis through differential analysis based on contrasts inside GLM models

Plant Methods, 2020
Background RNAseq is nowadays the method of choice for transcriptome analysis. In the last decades, a high number of statistical methods, and associated bioinformatics tools, for RNAseq analysis were developed. More recently, statistical studies realised

Large differences in carbohydrate degradation and transport potential among lichen fungal symbionts

Nature Communications, 2022
Lichen symbioses are thought to be stabilized by the transfer of fixed carbon from a photosynthesizing symbiont to a fungus. Here, Resl et al. show that, contrary to other fungal symbioses, fungal association with a phototroph in lichens does not result ...

Regenerative wheat management: The relative effects of farm practices on the biodiversity of invertebrates

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Wheat in North America harbours a diverse insect community (565 morphospecies were identified in this study), and pests represented <7% of specimens collected. Regenerative wheat management promoted insect diversity without increasing pest populations.
