Excited to share our latest work! biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…
Shotgun metagenomics reveals that the gut microbiota of two closely related honey bee species vastly differs at the strain-level. A. mellifera harbors many more strains & functional genes in its microbiota than A. cerana!

2nd ed. of True Bugs of the World is a must have for anyone interested in Heteroptera.
Includes so much new information, color photos, fossils and the newest understanding of relationships
Congrats Toby, @carayonia and everyone else who contributed!

Found these ectoparasites on two South Korean cicadas, turns out they're a rare caterpillar species called Epipomponia nawai! pretty swood

Pic of sick 65 cicadas that died at the soils surface. Kept them inside in a cool damp location and look what happened. 25 grew the fungus and 40 did not.

It’s important to note all the reasons for environmental catastrophe. This guy posted his well researched article below, but it deserves another rt here grist.org/article/fortune-an…

Elizabeth Hunter is giving an awesome talk on apicomplexan associates of tunicates. Nephromyces always has a bacterial symbiont but can be from three different bacterial classes #Evol2019

Sharing of metabolism between individuals with all three symbionts in a population may have allowed the transition to mutualism in almost exclusively parasitic group with major gene loss. What a cool system. #Evol2019

If you want to learn about repeated replacement of a bacterial symbiont by fungal pathogens in cicadas check out my presentation for Evolution 2019 here tinyurl.com/yyk7yc79
If you're at #Evol2019 please come find me if you want to chat about this cool system!
