Host-microbiome metabolism of a plant toxin in bees
While foraging for nectar and pollen, bees are exposed to a myriad of xenobiotics, including
plant metabolites, which may exert a wide range of effects on their health. Although the bee …

Winter fleshy‐fruited plants are the catalysts for spring populations of an invasive fruit fly
Winter is a critical bottleneck period for many insects and is particularly pivotal for pest
species, being a major regulator of their populations. In winter, insect fruit pests such as the …
