Rapid growth and the evolution of complete metamorphosis in insects

C. Manthey, J. C. Metcalf, M. T. Monaghan, U. K. Steiner, J. Rolff

This study investigates why holometabolous insects evolved a pupal stage, finding that rapid growth and a trade-off between growth and differentiation favor this life history under high mortality.

Phylogenomics including new sequence data of phytoplankton-infecting chytrids reveals multiple independent lifestyle transitions across the phylum

P. C. Thome, J. Wolinska, S. Van Den Wyngaert, A. Rene, D. Ilicic, R. Agha, H.-P. Grossart, E. Garces, M. T. Monaghan, J. F. H. Strassert

This study uses phylogenomic data from new and existing sequences to show multiple independent transitions between parasitism and saprotrophy in chytrids, with the last common ancestor being a phytoplankton parasite.

Climate-induced forest dieback drives compositional change in insect communities that is concentrated amongst rare species

L. Sire, P. Schmidt Yanez, W. Cai, A. Bezier, B. Courtial, J. Cours, D. Fontaneto, L. Larrieu, C. Bouget, S. Thorn, J. Müller, D. W. Yu, M. T. Monaghan, E. A. Herniou, C. Lopez-Vaamonde

The paper investigates the impact of climate-induced forest dieback on insect communities, finding compositional changes driven by rare species rather than salvage logging.

Stress response of Chironomus riparius to changes in water temperature and oxygen concentration in a lowland stream

A. Manfrin, S. Larsen, M. Scalici, S. Wurtz, M. T. Monaghan

This study examines how Chironomus riparius larvae respond to short-term changes in water temperature and oxygen concentration by measuring HSP70 and Hb levels, finding HSP70 responds to temperature while Hb correlates with oxygen.
