Multiple roads to swarming: divergent molecular machineries drive the repeated evolution of locusts

Locust swarming, one of nature’s most spectacular examples of a repeated emergent polyphenism, has long been suspected to rely on conserved “swarming genes” or shared genomic features. By applying a model-clade approach comparing six species that vary in their degrees of plasticity and collective behavior, we show that...

Organ-Specific Responses to Plant Secondary Metabolites Reveal Mechanisms of Adaptation.

Many insects feed on plants that produce toxic secondary metabolites. The Rattlebox plant (Crotalaria) produces Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids (PAs) that protect it from most herbivores, but some insects, including the Bella moth (Utetheisa ornatrix), can metabolize, sequester, and repurpose its chemical defenses. However, or...
