TL;DR: Infestation experiments of treated bees are conducted to show that the immune-suppression exerted by Clothianidin is associated with an enhanced fertility of the parasitic mite Varroa destructor, as a possible consequence of a higher feeding efficiency.
Endophytism of Lecanicillium and Akanthomyces
TL;DR: The related aspects particularly referring to species of Lecanicillium and Akanthomyces (Sordariomycetes, Cordycipitaceae) are revised in this paper, also in light of recent and ongoing taxonomic reassessments.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used tomato plants as a model system and demonstrated that Trichoderma afroharzianum, widely used as a biocontrol agent of plant pathogens, negatively affects the development and survival of the lepidopteran pest Spodoptera littoralis by altering the gut microbiota and its symbiotic contribution to larval nutrition.

TL;DR: A combined transcriptomic and proteomic study of the venom of the generalist idiobiont wasp Bracon nigricans, an ectophagous larval parasitoid of different lepidopteran species, provides the foundation on which to develop a functional model of host regulation, based both on physiological and molecular data.
Phylogenetic Characterization of Botryosphaeria Strains Associated with Asphondylia Galls on Species of Lamiaceae
TL;DR: The phylogenetic relationships among strains recovered from Asphondylia galls collected on several species of Lamiaceae in Poland and in Italy and all the currently accepted species in this genus were evaluated, indicating the existence of genetic variation related to the geographic origin in the association with gall midges.
