Nganso B, Eliash N, Mani K, Sela N, Villar-Briones A, Osabutey A, et al.
Exp Appl Acarol . 2024 Oct; 93(4):701-719. PMID: 39441431
In this study, we evaluated the role of the gnathosoma (mouthparts) in chemosensing of the most devastating honey bee parasite, Varroa destructor mite. Through transcriptomic analysis, we compared the expression...

Forni G, Mantovani B, Mikheyev A, Luchetti A
Genome Biol Evol . 2024 Apr; 16(5). PMID: 38573594
After the loss of a trait, theory predicts that the molecular machinery underlying its phenotypic expression should decay. Yet, empirical evidence is contrasting. Here, we test the hypotheses that (i)...

Seneci L, Mikheyev A
Int J Mol Sci . 2024 Feb; 25(3). PMID: 38338757
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a neurotoxic molecule used by many animals for defense and/or predation, as well as an important biomedical tool. Its ubiquity as a defensive agent has led to...

Hasegawa N, Techer M, Adjlane N, Al-Hissnawi M, Antunez K, Beaurepaire A, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2023 Jun; 120(26):e2301258120. PMID: 37339224
Novel transmission routes can allow infectious diseases to spread, often with devastating consequences. Ectoparasitic varroa mites vector a diversity of RNA viruses, having switched hosts from the eastern to western...

Stuart O, Cleave R, Magrath M, Mikheyev A
Genome Biol Evol . 2023 Jun; 15(6). PMID: 37279506
We present a chromosome-scale genome assembly for Dryococelus australis, a critically endangered Australian phasmid. The assembly, constructed with Pacific Biosciences continuous long reads and chromatin conformation capture (Omni-C) data, is...

Chapman N, Colin T, Cook J, da Silva C, Gloag R, Hogendoorn K, et al.
Biol Lett . 2023 May; 19(5):20220589. PMID: 37222245
Studying rapid biological changes accompanying the introduction of alien organisms into native ecosystems can provide insights into fundamental ecological and evolutionary theory. While powerful, this quasi-experimental approach is difficult to...

Kowallik V, Das A, Mikheyev A
Front Microbiol . 2022 Dec; 13:1030771. PMID: 36532456
Microbiomes can enhance the health, fitness and even evolutionary potential of their hosts. Many organisms propagate favorable microbiomes fully or partially vertical transmission. In the long term, such co-propagation can...

Eliash N, Suenaga M, Mikheyev A
BMC Biol . 2022 Dec; 20(1):284. PMID: 36527054
Background: Vector-borne viral diseases threaten human and wildlife worldwide. Vectors are often viewed as a passive syringe injecting the virus. However, to survive, replicate and spread, viruses must manipulate vector...

Forni G, Mikheyev A, Luchetti A, Mantovani B
Zoological Lett . 2022 Nov; 8(1):14. PMID: 36435814
The evolution of automixis - i.e., meiotic parthenogenesis - requires several features, including ploidy restoration after meiosis and maintenance of fertility. Characterizing the relative contribution of novel versus pre-existing genes...

Tong C, Aviles L, Rayor L, Mikheyev A, Linksvayer T
Nat Commun . 2022 Nov; 13(1):6967. PMID: 36414623
The transition from solitary to social life is a major phenotypic innovation, but its genetic underpinnings are largely unknown. To identify genomic changes associated with this transition, we compare the...
