The paper shows TYLCV co-opts its vector's m6A machinery to enhance reproductive fitness in resistant whiteflies, revealing a mechanism for adaptive virus-vector interactions.

This study identifies ALKBH4 as an m6A demethylase in whiteflies, showing its role in reversing mRNA methylation and regulating development.

This study shows that emamectin benzoate suppresses ovulation in insects by targeting octopaminergic neurons and disrupting reproductive processes.

The paper tests if sublethal chlorantraniliprole exposure affects antipredator behavior in wild crickets and finds no consistent behavioral changes.

This study identifies a horizontally transferred fungal deubiquitinase, BtUCH19, that enhances insecticide resistance in whiteflies by stabilizing a detoxification enzyme through ubiquitin modification.

MetaBeeAI extracts structured evidence from biological literature using a modular LLM pipeline with expert validation, improving consistency and reproducibility across studies.

The paper identifies a superclone driving insecticide resistance in Acyrthosiphon kondoi across its invasive range through genomic and functional analyses.

The paper examines TE accumulation at xenobiotic gene family loci across 20 aphid genomes, finding significant TE enrichment at these genes compared to others.

The paper assembles the genome of Danaus chrysippus and compares it with Danaus plexippus, identifying three chromosomal inversions and size differences.

The paper presents the first high-quality draft genome and annotation of the meadow brown butterfly, Maniola jurtina, using a hybrid assembly approach.
