While correlative studies show worrying insect declines in recent times, the nature of insect population dynamics and the paucity of long-term data makes the assessment of the status and trends of insect populations challenging and disconne...
Bee vulnerability to climate change in a shifting nutritional landscape: why sociality and life-history strategy matter [0.03%]
社会性和生活史策略对营养景观变化下蜜蜂应对气候变化脆弱性的影响

Climate-driven changes in floral resource quantity, timing, and nutritional quality can modulate access to essential nutrients for bees, with consequences for development, reproduction, physiology, and sensitivity to other stressors. Althou...
Nature-based solutions and indigenous knowledge for sustainable biological control [0.03%]
基于自然的解决方案和土著知识在可持续生物防治中的应用

Biological control is not easily available to all farmers, particularly those with limited technical or financial resources. Yet, traditional communities have long managed insect pests using locally adapted, nature-based methods. Many of th...
In praise of parasitoids: how public engagement and citizen science can be used to improve the perceptions of an overlooked taxon [0.03%]

Migratory insects, due to the vast scale of their migration, have a significant impact on both natural ecosystems and human societies. In recent years, increasing attention has been given to the effects of global climate change on insect mi...

Microbial symbionts can contribute crucial capabilities to insect physiology such as limited nutrients, digestive or detoxifying enzymes, or bioactive specialized metabolites. While symbiont identity, localization and genomic capabilities a...
Colony-level buffering of essential dietary lipids in eusocial Hymenoptera [0.03%]
eusocial Hymenoptera类群对膳食脂质的集体缓冲效应

Nutritional ecology has largely focused on protein-carbohydrate balance, but essential lipids remain fundamental and comparatively underexamined constraints. Here I synthesize evidence that sterols and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) fu...
The spatial cell biology of host control in bacteriocyte-associated symbioses [0.03%]
细菌细胞内共生体相关的宿主控制的时空细胞生物学特性

Dustin Dial
Bacteriocytes are specialized eukaryotic cells that house bacterial symbionts. In insects, they are essential for host nutrition, development, and reproduction. Over the past two decades, bulk transcriptomics and genomics have built a stron...
