Monarchs sabotage milkweed to acquire toxins, not to disarm plant defence

A. Betz, R. Bischoff, G. Petschenka

This study shows monarch caterpillars sabotage milkweed to consume toxic latex for sequestration, not to avoid plant defense, contrasting with non-sequestering crow caterpillars.

Predatory fireflies and their toxic firefly prey have evolved distinct toxin resistancestrategies.

L. Yang, F. Borne, A. Betz, M. L. Aardema, Y. Zhen, J. Peng, M. Wu, R. Visconti, B. P. Roland, A. D. Talsma, M. Palladino, G. Petschenka, P. Andolfatto

This study shows that predatory fireflies and their toxic prey have evolved distinct toxin resistance strategies through gene duplication and neofunctionalization.
