Yet another AI service doing (basically) the exact same thing. How original. Bold. Truly groundbreaking. Sigh. 😔

Wang et al. report that overexpression of Bt toxin Cyt2Aa fused with gut-binding peptides in #wheat enhances #aphid resistance, underscoring the critical role of modified Bt toxins to suppress #plant #pests.

PhD studentship for interested chinese nationals funded by the China Scholarship Council! Come work with us to investigate how innate immunity works in an important agricultural pest, and disentangle how the immune system evolves. 🇬🇧🇨🇳 For more info, see: bit.ly/4ntrsEe #Drosophila #Aphid #Immunity

The #slave #ant #Formica #fusca (#Formicinae) is seen here on common #tansy collecting #honeydew from and guarding the #aphid #Metopeurum #fuscoviride. The #workers of this ant #species, which builds #polygynous subterranean nests, are often exploited by other species for nest building. As C. Carere et al. (2018) found, there is a linear link between #individual and #collective #behavior.

@VulcanTourist

I found this page which has a huge collection of images for many different aphids, scale, and thrips. I think the one I caught in a candid photo looks like an aphid.

Maybe an #aphid

The pink #tansyaphid #Metopeurum #fuscoviride is native to Europe and prefers forming large #colonies on #tansy #Tanacetum #vulgare.This aphid is very attractive for #ants, as one aphid has a high #honeydew #production with in average 1 milligram of honeydew per hour. Authors M. K. Fischer et al. (2002) found the #aminoacid #concentration in honeydew increasing with #aphid age.

Aphids are not popular, but an interesting photo subject.

🧵 If you listened to my micro-macro-amplifyer you could hear a "roaaarrr!" against #aphids on my rose. In German, #ladybird larvae are called Blattlauslöwen, #aphid lions.

Because of the warm winter and the terrible dryness, we have myriads of aphids. And because of farmers using more pesticides, we have less #insects and insect eating #birds. So more aphids*. Everything is #interconnected. Read ALT!

#NatureMatchCuts #ladybeetle #Coccinellidae #HarmoniaAxyridis #ecosystems #naturephotography

Larva of Harmonia axyridis, the Asian ladybeetle. It is larger than larvae of native ladybeetles, nearly black, and distinguishable by the orange backsides and 4 orange points on the back. Harmonia axyridis is an invasive species in France since 2001, spread by pest control breeders in Belgium. The companies had to close, the species was initially combated. It initially pushed back the native species, but I can now see that it is returning, at least in my region. The Asian ladybird is also more resilient to climate change.

Illustration of the mechanism by which Toll-interleukin-1 receptor domain nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat protein RCSP recognizes insect salivary effector chemosensory proteins, promoting effector-triggered immunity and systemic resistance in Nicotiana benthamiana.

Is it already "aphid shit on the windshield" season? My God, how the time flies.

PhD studentship to characterise aphid immune evolution. Lots to uncover in an insect group with major ecological & economic impact. Aphid systemic immunity is a black box. The interested PhD candidate will both provide one of the first detailed descriptions of aphid immunity, but also uncover principles of immune evolution.
