'Cost' of proctodeal trophallaxis in extant termite individuals has no relevance in analysing the origins of eusociality
Nalepa, C. A. (2016, February). ECOLOGICAL ENTOMOLOGY, Vol. 41, pp. 27–30.
TL;DR:
There is little evidence to support claims of the absence of brood care and its correlate, independent offspring, in extant OP termites, and the notion that proctodeal feeding is not costly to individual alloparents is based on misconceptions regarding what may be considered ‘ancestral’ in a termite.

Structure and Migration in US Blumeria graminis f. sp tritici Populations
PHYTOPATHOLOGY, 106(3), 295–304.
MeSH headings : Ascomycota / genetics; Ascomycota / physiology; Genetic Variation; Plant Diseases / microbiology; Triticum / microbiology; United States
TL;DR:
The evidence argues for a large-scale mosaic of overlapping populations that re-establish themselves from local sources, rather than continental-scale extinction and re-establishment, and a low rate of long-distance dispersal roughly from west to east, consistent with prevailing wind directions.

Non-consumptive predator effects on a primary greenhouse pest: Predatory mite harassment reduces western flower thrips abundance and plant damage
BIOLOGICAL CONTROL, 95, 5–12.
author keywords: Non-consumptive predator effects; NCEs; Trait mediated interactions; Trophic cascades; Frankliniella occidentalis; Neoseiulus cucumeris
TL;DR:
It is demonstrated that NCEs of predatory mites can induce a trophic cascade by reducing pest feeding and fitness, and such beneficial effects of natural enemies are often overlooked in simple predation and efficacy studies.

New Introductions, Spread of Existing Matrilines, and High Rates of Pyrethroid Resistance Result in Chronic Infestations of Bed Bugs (Cimex lectularius L.) in Lower-Income Housing
PLOS ONE, 11(2), e0117805.
Ed(s): J. Benoit
MeSH headings : Animals; Bedbugs / drug effects; Ectoparasitic Infestations / transmission; Housing; Insecticide Resistance / drug effects; Insecticides / pharmacology; Poverty; Pyrethrins / pharmacology; United States
TL;DR:
It is concluded that ineffective heat treatments, new introductions, reintroductions and local spread, and an exceptionally high frequency of pyrethroid resistance are responsible for chronic infestations in lower-income housing.

Genomic Characterization of a South American Phytophthora Hybrid Mandates Reassessment of the Geographic Origins of Phytophthora infestans
MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, 33(2), 478–491.
Contributors: M. Martin *, F. Vieira *, S. Ho *, N. Wales *, M. Schubert *, A. Seguin-Orlando *, J. Ristaino n , M. Gilbert *
author keywords: Phytophthora infestans; Phytophthora andina; plant disease; population genomics; phylogenomics; pathogen
MeSH headings : Evolution, Molecular; Gene Flow; Genome; Genome, Mitochondrial; Genomics / methods; Genotype; Haplotypes; Hybridization, Genetic; Linkage Disequilibrium; Phylogeny; Phytophthora infestans / classification; Phytophthora infestans / genetics; Plant Diseases; Reproduction / genetics; South America
TL;DR:
It is shown that basal branches of the clade comprising Mexican samples are occupied by clonal isolates collected from wild Solanum hosts, suggesting that modern Mexican P. infestans diversified on Solanums tuberosum after a host jump from a wild species and that the origins of P.infestans are more complex than was previously thought.
