Li T, Guo J, Hu G, Cao F, Su H, Shen M, et al.
BMC Biol . 2024 Dec; 22(1):303. PMID: 39741276
Background: Global climate change significantly impacts ecosystems, particularly through temperature fluctuations that affect insect physiology and behavior. As poikilotherms, insect pests such as the globally devastating diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella...

Chen X, Yao S, Xie L, Li J, Xiong L, Yang X, et al.
Insect Biochem Mol Biol . 2024 Dec; 177:104248. PMID: 39674517
The olfactory system of insects plays a pivotal role in multiple, essential activities including feeding, mating, egg laying, and host localization. The capacity of odorant receptors to recognize odor molecules...

Sobhy I, Gurr G, Hefin Jones T
Curr Opin Insect Sci . 2024 Jun; 64:101218. PMID: 38838913
In response to herbivory, plants employ several inducible defenses to mitigate herbivore damage. These plant-induced responses can trigger subtle changes in plant metabolite composition, altering the profiles of plant-produced exudates...

Lu H, Wilson B, Zhang H, Woruba S, Feng B, Johnson A, et al.
Sci Rep . 2024 May; 14(1):11542. PMID: 38773154
Evidence for seed transmission of phytoplasmas has grown in several pathosystems including coconut (Cocos nucifera). Bogia coconut syndrome (BCS) is a disease associated with the lethal yellowing syndrome associated with...

You S, Lei G, Zhou H, Li J, Chen S, Huang J, et al.
iScience . 2024 Mar; 27(3):109242. PMID: 38425842
Understanding a population's fitness heterogeneity and genetic basis of thermal adaptation is essential for predicting the responses to global warming. We examined the thermotolerance and genetic adaptation of to exposure...

Zhu X, Li J, He A, Gurr G, You M, You S
Insects . 2024 Feb; 15(2). PMID: 38392551
bacteria (phylum Proteobacteria) are ubiquitous intracellular parasites of diverse invertebrates. In insects, coevolution has forged mutualistic associations with species, influencing reproduction, immunity, development, pathogen resistance, and overall fitness. However, the...

Gurr G, Liu J, Pogrebna G
Curr Opin Insect Sci . 2024 Feb; 62:101176. PMID: 38309323
Plant-derived foods, such as nectar and pollen, have garnered substantial research attention due to their potential to support natural enemies of pests. This review is a pioneering exploration of the...

Perera N, Barrow R, Weston P, Weston L, Gurr G
Sci Rep . 2024 Jan; 14(1):584. PMID: 38182629
Dung beetles are economically important beneficial insects that process dung. To locate this source, they use volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The objectives of the study were to evaluate the attractiveness...

Xia X, Wang Q, Gurr G, Vasseur L, Han S, You M
mSystems . 2023 Nov; 8(6):e0082623. PMID: 37909778
In this study, we identify an important role of gut bacteria in mediating the adaptation of diamondback moth (DBM) to plant secondary metabolites. We demonstrate that kaempferol's presence in radish...

Perera N, Barrow R, Weston P, Rolland V, Hands P, Gurusinghe S, et al.
Insects . 2023 Jul; 14(7). PMID: 37504633
Locating sporadically distributed food resources and mate finding are strongly aided by volatile cues for most insects, including dung beetles. However, there is limited information on the olfactory ecology of...
