Sex-specific sub-lethal effects of low virulence entomopathogenic fungi may boost the Sterile Insect Technique

This study evaluates the sub-lethal effects of Metarhizium anisopliae strains on Bactrocera dorsalis, showing sex-specific impacts that could enhance the Sterile Insect Technique.

Effects of forest urbanization on the interplay between small mammal communities and their gut microbiota

This study examines how urbanization affects small mammal communities and their gut microbiota, finding that urban species show reduced taxonomic diversity but increased functional diversity in their microbiota.

MICROBIOTA-MEDIATED COMPETITION BETWEEN DROSOPHILA SPECIES

This study shows Drosophila suzukii avoids oviposition on substrates previously visited by D. melanogaster, but this behavior is influenced by the presence of Lactobacillus bacteria in either species.

Cost of resistance: an unreasonably expensive concept

The paper critiques the concept of resistance cost in evolutionary genetics, arguing for a more nuanced analysis of mutation fitness effects across environments.

Things softly attained are long retained: Dissecting the Impacts of Selection Regimes on Polymorphism Maintenance in Experimental Spatially Heterogeneous Environments

This study experimentally tests how selection regimes affect polymorphism maintenance in E. coli under spatially heterogeneous environments, finding that soft selection better preserves genetic diversity.
