Large Extent of Convergent Evolution Towards the Double Histone Fold Revealed by Targeted Sequence and Structure Search Approach

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 4, Page 875-882, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Histone proteins are key players in chromatin packaging. In eukaryotes, nucleosomal cores—the DNA packaging fundamental units—are formed by composition of histone dimers. The double histone fold is a protein structure where two consecutive regions, each featuring histone fold, come together to create a histone pseudodimer. Although regarded as

Environment and Pollen Diversity Differentially Affect the Gut Microbiomes of Introduced Honeybees and Bumblebees

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Invasive species may exhibit shifts in their gut microbiome in response to novel environments and diet, but this may differ across host species and their time since colonisation. We investigate if site environmental variables and foraged pollen resources differentially shape the gut microbiomes of two bee species with contrasting introduction ...

Evaluating Electric Harps and Muzzles to Mitigate the Impact of Vespa velutina nigrithorax at Beehives

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 364-375, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The Asian hornet (Vespa velutina nigrithorax) poses a significant threat to the beekeeping industry. Using an experimental apiary of 36 hives, we simultaneously evaluated the effectiveness of two mitigation measures—muzzles and electric harps—in reducing the impact of Asian hornets on honey bee colonies.

RNAi‐Based Pesticides: Genetic Innovations for Sustainable Crop Protection and One Health

Advanced Genetics, Volume 7, Issue 1, March 2026.
RNAi‐based pesticides offer precise, gene‐specific pest control using dsRNA to silence essential insect genes. Advanced delivery systems (nanoparticles, SIGS, HIGS) and multi‐omics‐driven target discovery enable effective, scalable, and environmentally safe crop protection, supporting biodiversity, human health, and One Health‐aligned sustainable ...
