Isolation and infection cycle of a polinton-like virus virophage in an abundant marine alga
Virophages are small double stranded DNA (dsDNA) viruses that can only replicate in a host
by co-infecting with another virus. Marine algae are commonly associated with virophage …

High dietary sugar reshapes sweet taste to promote feeding behavior in Drosophila melanogaster
Recent studies find that sugar tastes less intense to humans with obesity, but whether this
sensory change is a cause or a consequence of obesity is unclear. To tackle this question …

Shifts in the genetic landscape of the western Eurasian steppe associated with the beginning and end of the Scythian dominance
Summary The Early Iron Age nomadic Scythians have been described as a confederation of
tribes of different origins, based on ancient DNA evidence [1–3]. It is still unclear how much …

Divergent evolutionary trajectories following speciation in two ectoparasitic honey bee mites
Multispecies host-parasite evolution is common, but how parasites evolve after speciating
remains poorly understood. Shared evolutionary history and physiology may propel species …

Museum genomics confirms that the Lord Howe Island stick insect survived extinction
Summary The Lord Howe Island stick insect, Dryococelus australis, was once common on
the island but was driven to extinction after the arrival of ship rats in the early 20 th century …

An insight into the functional genomics and species classification of Eudiplozoon nipponicum (Monogenea, Diplozoidae), a haematophagous parasite of the common …
Abstract Background Monogenea (Platyhelminthes, Neodermata) are the most species-rich
class within the Neodermata superclass of primarily fish parasites. Despite their economic …
