A draft Diabrotica virgifera virgifera genome: insights into control and host plant adaption by a major maize pest insect

BMC Genomics, 24(1).

By: B. Coates *, K. Walden*, D. Lata*, N. Vellichirammal *, R. Mitchell *, M. Andersson *, R. McKay*, M. Lorenzen  n ...

author keywords: Genome assembly; Host plant specialization; Differential expression
MeSH headings : Animals; Zea mays / physiology; Coleoptera / genetics; Larva / metabolism; Poaceae / genetics; Insecticides / metabolism; Pest Control, Biological; Plants, Genetically Modified / genetics; Endotoxins
TL;DR: Insight is provided into transcriptomic responses of larval feeding on different host plants and resources for genomic research on this economically significant pest of maize and suggests that adaptations of D. virgifera larvae to feeding on an alternate host plant invoke fewer transcriptional changes compared to marginal or poor hosts.

Aculeate Hymenopterans as Aposematic and Mimetic Models

[Review of ]. FRONTIERS IN ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, 10.

By: P. Willadsen n

author keywords: aposematism; mimicry; Aculeata hymenoptera; predator-prey interactions; visual signals; defense
TL;DR: Future studies on aposematic aculeates and their associated mimics hold great promise for unraveling outstanding questions about the evolution of conspicuous color patterns and the factors which determine the composition and distribution of mimetic communities. (via Semantic Scholar)
