56(2):236-248.
PMID: 31900852
The common glow-worms (Lampyris noctiluca) are best known for emission of green light by their larvae and sexually active adult females. However, both their DNA and RNA viruses remain unknown....

Ecol Evol
. 2018 Dec;
8(22):11031-11070.
PMID: 30519425
Social insects have evolved enormous capacities to collectively build nests and defend their colonies against both predators and pathogens. The latter is achieved by a combination of individual immune responses...

Brief Funct Genomics
. 2015 Mar;
14(6):407-12.
PMID: 25750410
Patterns of evolution in immune defense genes help to understand the evolutionary dynamics between hosts and pathogens. Multiple insect genomes have been sequenced, with many of them having annotated immune...
