DOI: 10.1098/rsos.220962

Abstract: Host shifts are considered a key generator of insect biodiversity. For insects, adaptation to new host plants often requires changes in larval/pupal development and behavioural preference towards new hosts. Neurochemicals play key roles in both… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.16390

Abstract: Changes in life history traits are often considered speciation triggers and can have dramatic effects on the evolutionary history of a lineage. Here, we examine the consequences of changes in two life history traits, host‐type… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mpp.13316

Abstract: Abstract While there are documented host shifts in many bacterial plant pathogens, the genetic foundation of host shifts is largely unknown. Xylella fastidiosa is a bacterial pathogen found in over 600 host plant species. Two… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Zootaxa"

DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4816.2.4

Abstract: The Australian Acacia-thrips lineage comprises at least 250 species in 30 genera of Phlaeothripinae, all of them known only from Acacia species in Australia. Two new species from two of these genera are described here… read more here.

Published in 2025 at "Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology"

DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2025.1597805

Abstract: Introduction Bacteriophage therapy is emerging as a promising alternative to antibiotics, particularly in the face of rising antimicrobial resistance. However, concerns remain regarding host shifts, where therapeutic phages could evolve to infect and harm beneficial… read more here.
