text: Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule 1 (Dscam1) has widereaching and vital
neuronal functions although the role it plays in insect and crustacean immunity
is less well understood. In this study, we combine different approaches to understand
the roles that Dscam1 plays in fitness-related contexts in two model insect species.
Contrary to our expectations, we found no short-term modulation of Dscam1 gene
expression after haemocoelic or oral bacterial exposure in Tribolium castaneum,
or after haemocoelic bacterial exposure in Drosophila melanogaster. Furthermore,
RNAi-mediated Dscam1 knockdown and subsequent bacterial exposure did not reduce
T. castaneum survival. However, Dscam1 knockdown in larvae resulted in adult locomotion
defects, as well as dramatically reduced fecundity in males and females. We suggest
that Dscam1 does not always play a straightforward role in immunity, but strongly
influences behaviour and fecundity. This study takes a step towards understanding
more about the role of this intriguing gene from different phenotypic perspectives.

text: The rare socially parasitic butterfly Maculinea alcon occurs in two forms,
which are characteristic of hygric or xeric habitats and which exploit different
host plants and host ants. The status of these two forms has been the subject
of considerable controversy. Populations of the two forms are usually spatially
distinct, but at Răscruci in Romania both forms occur on the same site (syntopically).
We examined the genetic differentiation between the two forms using eight microsatellite
markers, and compared with a nearby hygric site, Şardu. Our results showed that
while the two forms are strongly differentiated at Răscruci, it is the xeric form
there that is most similar to the hygric form at Şardu, and Bayesian clustering
algorithms suggest that these two populations have exchanged genes relatively
recently. We found strong evidence for population substructuring, caused by high
within host ant nest relatedness, indicating very limited dispersal of most ovipositing
females, but not association with particular host ant species. Our results are
consistent with the results of larger scale phylogeographic studies that suggest
that the two forms represent local ecotypes specialising on different host plants,
each with a distinct flowering phenology, providing a temporal rather than spatial
barrier to gene flow.

text: 'Summary: Declining populations of bee pollinators are a cause of concern,
with major repercussions for biodiversity loss and food security. RNA viruses
associated with honeybees represent a potential threat to other insect pollinators,
but the extent of this threat is poorly understood. This study aims to attain
a detailed understanding of the current and ongoing risk of emerging infectious
disease (EID) transmission between managed and wild pollinator species across
a wide range of RNA viruses. Within a structured large-scale national survey across
26 independent sites, we quantify the prevalence and pathogen loads of multiple
RNA viruses in co-occurring managed honeybee (Apis mellifera) and wild bumblebee
(Bombus spp.) populations. We then construct models that compare virus prevalence
between wild and managed pollinators. Multiple RNA viruses associated with honeybees
are widespread in sympatric wild bumblebee populations. Virus prevalence in honeybees
is a significant predictor of virus prevalence in bumblebees, but we remain cautious
in speculating over the principle direction of pathogen transmission. We demonstrate
species-specific differences in prevalence, indicating significant variation in
disease susceptibility or tolerance. Pathogen loads within individual bumblebees
may be high and in the case of at least one RNA virus, prevalence is higher in
wild bumblebees than in managed honeybee populations. Our findings indicate widespread
transmission of RNA viruses between managed and wild bee pollinators, pointing
to an interconnected network of potential disease pressures within and among pollinator
species. In the context of the biodiversity crisis, our study emphasizes the importance
of targeting a wide range of pathogens and defining host associations when considering
potential drivers of population decline.'

text: Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) have contributed significantly to the
current biodiversity crisis, leading to widespread epidemics and population loss.
Owing to genetic variation in pathogen virulence, a complete understanding of
species decline requires the accurate identification and characterization of EIDs.
We explore this issue in the Western honeybee, where increasing mortality of populations
in the Northern Hemisphere has caused major concern. Specifically, we investigate
the importance of genetic identity of the main suspect in mortality, deformed
wing virus (DWV), in driving honeybee loss. Using laboratory experiments and a
systematic field survey, we demonstrate that an emerging DWV genotype (DWV-B)
is more virulent than the established DWV genotype (DWV-A) and is widespread in
the landscape. Furthermore, we show in a simple model that colonies infected with
DWV-B collapse sooner than colonies infected with DWV-A. We also identify potential
for rapid DWV evolution by revealing extensive genome-wide recombination in vivo.
The emergence of DWV-B in naive honeybee populations, including via recombination
with DWV-A, could be of significant ecological and economic importance. Our findings
emphasize that knowledge of pathogen genetic identity and diversity is critical
to understanding drivers of species decline.
