Tetraopes Milkweed Beetle Genomes Elucidate the Adaptive Basis of a Temperate Coevolutionary Radiation

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The coevolutionary radiation of 27 species of Tetraopes longhorned beetles and their Asclepias milkweed hosts represents a classic example of adaptive evolution driven by plant chemical defences and herbivore counteradaptations. Investigations to date, however, have focused on a single species, Tetraopes tetrophthalmus, which feeds on the ...

Nutrient addition, but not vertebrate predator exclusion, shapes arthropod communities and herbivory in a temperate forest

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 303-321, April 2026.
We experimentally manipulated top‐down (predator exclusion) and bottom‐up (fertilisation) forces in a temperate forest understory to test effects on arthropod densities, body sizes and herbivory. Predator exclusion had no detectable effect on arthropod density, herbivory damage or body size, whereas fertilisation increased herbivory damage and ...

A PLETHORA3/7 transcription factor shapes cucumber shoot architecture

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 230-245, April 2026.
Summary PLETHORA transcription factors (PLTs) are master regulators of plant development. Loss of shoot meristematic PLTs leads to reduced phyllotactic regularity and robustness in Arabidopsis and increased inflorescence branching in tomato. Whether these factors have similar functions in other species is not known.

Masters of perception: phosphorylation‐dependent signaling in plants

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 89-94, April 2026.
Summary Plants are masters of perception, reacting to a myriad of biochemical and physical cues in a constantly changing environment. Plants rely on local cell‐based signal processing to perceive and react sufficiently fast to a multitude of stimuli. The ability to respond quickly is crucial for sustaining growth, defense, and metabolism and thereby ...
