The evolutionary success of leaf beetles, the most varied herbivores on Earth, was investigated by researchers from the Max ...

A new North Carolina State University study finds that climate change could be destabilizing the mutualistic relationships between insects and plants. The findings, appearing in the journal ...

The Yale Center for Industrial Ecology sponsored the Industrial Symbiosis Research Symposium Jan. 7-9 at the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies. Industrial symbiosis, which is a topic within ...

In a new study in the journal PNAS researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena and the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany, report how beewolves protect ...

However, the dual symbiosis discovered in auger beetles is uncommon for multiple reasons. “Dual symbioses have so far only been described within the cicadas and related insects.

I hold a BSc in Ecology from the University of Calgary and a MSc in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Helsinki. My research interests lie in insect ecology and evolution, with a ...

Emerging from industrial ecology is the notion of "industrial symbiosis": where a cluster of geographically proximate companies exchange material by-products, energy, and water in a mutually ...

Using innovative experimental designs and molecular techniques, our research uncovers symbiotic diversity and investigates how symbiosis can shape ecosystem functioning, drive species diversity, and ...

Genes: reduced to the defensive symbiosis? Further genetic analyses provided hints that the metabolism of the bacterial symbionts is mainly directed towards the production of antibiotic substances ...

When he completed training at Harvard under the support of a National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellowship in microbiology, Professor Russell transitioned to a faculty position at Drexel, where ...

The ‘symbiosis molecular toolbox’ of a dozen of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) basidiomycetes has recently been characterized by large-scale comparative genomics 1. These analyses have shown that ...
