Dining in the daylight: Nocturnal rhinoceros beetles extend feeding periods on host trees with reduced sap exudation

The paper compares feeding rates and sap exudation rates of rhinoceros beetles on three host trees, finding lower feeding rates on ash trees correlate with extended feeding periods during the day.

Plant specific armadillo repeat kinesin directs organelle transport and microtubule convergence to promote tip growth

This study identifies MpARK, a plant-specific kinesin, as essential for organelle transport and microtubule convergence in tip-growing rhizoids, supporting plant anchorage and growth.
