Exotic urban trees conserve similar natural enemy communities to native congeners but have fewer pests
PEERJ, 7.
author keywords: Urban trees; Parasitoids; Conservation; Pest management; Exotic trees; Acer spp. (maple); Quercus spp. (oaks); Natural enemies; Native trees; Scale insects (Coccoidea)
TL;DR:
These native and exotic tree species could help conserve arthropod natural enemies and achieve pest management goals and Parasitoid communities were significantly different among Acer species and Quercus species due in each case to greater abundance of a single family on one native tree species.

Salt-adaptive strategies in oil seed crop Ricinus communis early seedlings (cotyledon vs. true leaf) revealed from proteomics analysis
ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY, 171, 12–25.
author keywords: Cotyledon; Early seedling, Proteomics; Ricinus communis; Salinity

Varroa destructor feeds primarily on honey bee fat body tissue and not hemolymph
PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 116(5), 1792–1801.
author keywords: Varroa; apiculture; insect physiology; honey bee; fat body
MeSH headings : Animals; Bees / parasitology; Diet; Fat Body / parasitology; Hemolymph / parasitology; Host-Parasite Interactions / physiology; Reproduction / physiology; Varroidae / pathogenicity
TL;DR:
The work shows that this parasite is not consuming hemolymph, as has been the accepted view, but damages host bees by consuming fat body, a tissue roughly analogous to the mammalian liver, which strongly suggest that Varroa are exploiting the fat body as their primary source of sustenance.

author keywords: Apis mellifera; queen; brood pattern; queen quality; colony health; beekeeping; parasites and pathogens; pesticides
