Environmental variables and species traits as drivers of wild bee pollination in intensive agroecosystems -a metabarcoding approach

This study uses metabarcoding to analyze wild bee pollination in sunflower crops, finding that pollination diversity is influenced by flowering stages and bee traits like size and sociality.

pWCP is a widely distributed and highly conserved Wolbachia plasmid in Culex mosquitoes worldwide

The paper investigates the global distribution and conservation of the Wolbachia plasmid pWCP in Culex mosquitoes across diverse geographic regions and laboratory strains.

dynamAedes: a unified modelling framework for invasive Aedes mosquitoes

The paper develops a multi-scale stochastic model for invasive Aedes mosquitoes, integrating physiological and environmental factors to predict population dynamics and support management strategies.

Development of a multi-primer metabarcoding approach to understand trophic interactions in agroecosystems

This study develops a multi-primer metabarcoding approach to analyze trophic interactions of two predatory arthropods in agroecosystems, identifying both gut content and external pollen load.

Metabarcoding faecal samples to investigate spatiotemporal variation in the diet of the endangered Westland petrel (Procellaria westlandica)

This study uses metabarcoding of faecal samples to analyze the diet of the Westland petrel, revealing seasonal and spatial dietary variation and potential links to commercial fishing activities.

Adaptation is influenced by the complexity of environmental change during evolution in a dynamic environment

This study shows that adaptation in microorganisms depends on the complexity of environmental change, with switch rate and order affecting genetic and phenotypic outcomes.

A genomic amplification affecting a carboxylesterase gene cluster confers organophosphate resistance in the mosquito Aedes aegypti: from genomic characterization to high-throughput field detection

This study identifies a genomic amplification of carboxylesterase genes linked to organophosphate resistance in Aedes aegypti and develops a TaqMan assay to detect it in field populations.

A molecular approach to studying Hymenoptera diets using polistine wasps

This study develops a method to determine the overall diet of nest-building Hymenoptera using DNA from faeces in brood cells, revealing seasonal diet variation and predation of marine organisms.

Blood, sweat and tears: a review of non-invasive DNA sampling

This paper reviews non-invasive DNA sampling literature and highlights a terminology gap, proposing new terms to better describe methods that minimize animal impact.

Parameters and determinants of responses to selection in antibody libraries

The paper quantifies how scaffold evolutionary maturation affects antibody library response to selection, finding maturated scaffolds show lower response to arbitrary targets.

Novel Wolbachia strains in Anopheles malaria vectors from Sub-Saharan Africa

The paper identifies novel Wolbachia strains in multiple Anopheles species from Sub-Saharan Africa and assesses their association with Plasmodium infection.

Diverse novel resident Wolbachia strains in Culicine mosquitoes from Madagascar

The paper identifies diverse novel Wolbachia strains in Culicine mosquitoes from Madagascar and reports Rift Valley fever virus presence in some species.
