A new radiodont from the lower Cambrian (Series 2 Stage 3) Chengjiang Lagerstatte, South China informs the evolution of feeding structures in radiodonts
(Taylor and Francis, 2024)Radiodonts, a diverse clade of early Palaeozoic stem-group euarthropods, have provided critical information for understanding the evolution of this phylum, and were important constituents of marine ecosystems. The well-known ... -
Naturally occurring viruses of Drosophila reduce offspring number and lifespan
(The Royal Society, 15 May 2024)Drosophila remains a pre-eminent insect model system for host-virus interaction, but the host range and fitness consequences of the drosophilid virome are poorly understood. Metagenomic studies have reported approximately ... -
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, 31 May 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 ...
