The great tit HapMap project: A continental‐scale analysis of genomic variation in a songbird
(Wiley, 15 May 2024)A major aim of evolutionary biology is to understand why patterns of genomic diversity vary within taxa and space. Large-scale genomic studies of widespread species are useful for studying how environment and demography ... -
Hydrodynamic performance of Ordovician archaeostracan carapaces
(Public Library of Science, 2024)The diversification of macroscopic pelagic arthropods such as caryocaridid archaeostracans was a crucial aspect of the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event, and the plankton revolution. A pelagic mode of life has been ... -
Bulk segregant mapping and transcriptome analyses reveal the molecular mechanisms of spinetoram resistance in Spodoptera frugiperda
(Elsevier, 20 April 2024)The evolution of resistance to insecticides poses a significant threat to pest management programs. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying insecticide resistance is essential to design sustainable pest control ... -
Multiple toxins and a protease contribute to the aphid-killing ability of Pseudomonas fluorescens PpR24.
(Wiley, 1 April 2024)Aphids are globally important pests causing damage to a broad range of crops. Due to insecticide resistance, there is an urgent need to develop alternative control strategies. In our previous work, we found Pseudomonas ... -
UDP-glycosyltransferases act as key determinants of host plant range in generalist and specialist Spodoptera species.
(National Academy of Sciences, 7 May 2024)Phytophagous insects have evolved sophisticated detoxification systems to overcome the antiherbivore chemical defenses produced by many plants. However, how these biotransformation systems differ in generalist and specialist ...
