Soil acidification alters root morphology, increases root biomass but reduces root decomposition in an alpine grassland
ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION, 265.
author keywords: Acid deposition; Alpine meadow; Root dynamics; Root functional traits; Soil carbon stock; Soil pH
MeSH headings : Asia; Biomass; Ecosystem; Grassland; Hydrogen-Ion Concentration; Nitrogen / analysis; Soil; Tibet
TL;DR:
An important role of root morphology is suggested in mediating root dynamics, and results imply that soil acidification may lead to transient increase in soil carbon stock as root standing biomass and undecomposed root litter, which may reduce nutrient cycling and further constrain ecosystem productivity in nutrient-limiting alpine systems.

Phylogenomics reveals accelerated late Cretaceous diversification of bee flies (Diptera: Bombyliidae)
CLADISTICS.
author keywords: Diptera; divergence times reconstruction; lower Brachycera; maximum likelihood
MeSH headings : Animals; Bees / classification; Bees / genetics; Bees / physiology; Biodiversity; Evolution, Molecular; Larva / genetics; Larva / physiology; Phylogeny; Sequence Analysis, DNA; Transcriptome
TL;DR:
The dating analyses indicate a Jurassic origin of the Bombyliidae, with the sand chamber evolving early in bee fly evolution, in the late Jurassic or mid‐Cretaceous, and it is hypothesized that the angiosperm radiation and the hothouse climate established during the late Cretaceous accelerated the diversification of bee flies.

author keywords: Blattella germanica; antibiotic; gut bacteria; fungi; interaction; niche
MeSH headings : Animals; Anti-Bacterial Agents / pharmacology; Bacteria; Blattellidae; Fungi; Gastrointestinal Microbiome
TL;DR:
Network analysis showed that antibiotic treatment made the interaction between bacteria and fungi closer and stronger in the cockroach gut during the recovery of gut microorganisms, helping to explore gut microbes' colonization and interaction with insects.

Influence of brood pheromone on honey bee colony establishment and queen replacement
JOURNAL OF APICULTURAL RESEARCH, 60(2), 220–228.
author keywords: Apis mellifera; queen replacement; colony establishment; collective decision making
TL;DR:
It is suggested that while BEP alone is insufficient to deter premature supersedure, there are clear benefits to queen longevity and package-installation success when establishing new colonies with frames of young brood.

Sweet Corn Sentinel Monitoring for Lepidopteran Field-Evolved Resistance to Bt Toxins
Journal of Economic Entomology, 12.
Ed(s): A. Gassmann
author keywords: Bt toxin; insect resistance monitoring; sentinel sweet corn
MeSH headings : Animals; Bacillus thuringiensis / genetics; Bacillus thuringiensis Toxins; Bacterial Proteins / genetics; Canada; Endotoxins; Hemolysin Proteins / genetics; Insecticide Resistance; Moths; Pest Control, Biological; Plants, Genetically Modified / genetics; Zea mays / genetics
TL;DR:
It is demonstrated that the sentinel plot approach as an in-field screen can effectively monitor phenotypic resistance and document field-evolved resistance in target pest populations, improving resistance monitoring for Bt crops.

Location of Helicoverpa zea (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) larvae on different plant parts of determinate and indeterminate soybean
Bulletin of Entomological Research, 110(6), 725–731.
author keywords: Blooms; development; leaves; pods; preference
MeSH headings : Animals; Female; Larva / growth & development; Moths / growth & development; Oviposition; Plant Components, Aerial; Soybeans / classification; Soybeans / growth & development
TL;DR:
These studies suggest H. zea larvae prefer specific tissue types, but also provide evidence that experimental design can influence the results, and find of larval preference for leaves contrasts with findings from previous studies.

Vertical and temporal distribution of Helicoverpa zea (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) larvae in determinate and indeterminate soybean
Bulletin of Entomological Research, 9, 1–7.
author keywords: Canopy; growth habit; movement; ovipositional location; preference
MeSH headings : Animals; Feeding Behavior; Larva / physiology; Moths / physiology; Oviposition; Population Density; Soybeans / growth & development
TL;DR:
The hypothesis that larval movement and location within soybean canopies do not result entirely from oviposition location and nutritional requirements is lent support.
