      This important work investigates the mechanism that underlies the switch between feeding and mating behaviors in the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis. Using a variety of approaches, the authors show that this switch is mediated by the neuropeptide, sulfakinin, acting peripherally through the sulfakinin receptor 1 to regulate the expression of antennal odorant receptors. The evidence is solid in support of the hypothesis that sulfakinin signaling mediates changes in the periphery, although additional sites of action may also contribute to these changes.

      This important study substantially advances our understanding of the circadian clock in Antarctic krill, a key species in the Southern Ocean ecosystem. Through logistically challenging shipboard experiments conducted across seasons, the authors provide compelling evidence for their conclusions. The study will be of broad interest to marine biologists and ecologists.

      eLife Assessment

      The authors provide important insights into a system of insect camouflage where a coating of self-made nano-particles (brochosomes) reduces the reflection of UV-light leading to lower predation by spiders. Compelling evidence is provided by micro-UV-Vis spectroscopy, electron microscopy, transcriptome and proteome analysis, histology, in-vivo predation assays and gene knock-downs. The phylogenetic analyses provide evidence that the genes coding for the brochosome proteins are clade-specific and have diversified by gene duplication.

      This important manuscript investigates the role of olfactory cues in Pieris brassicae larvae, focusing on their interactions with the host plant Brassica oleracea and the parasitoid wasp Cotesia glomerata. The authors' demonstration that impaired olfactory perception reduces caterpillar performance and increases susceptibility to parasitism is solid. These findings highlight the ecological significance of olfaction in mediating feeding behavior and predator avoidance in herbivorous insects.

      The authors aimed to quantify feral pig interactions in eastern Australia to inform disease transmission networks. They used GPS tracking data from 146 feral pigs across multiple locations to construct proximity-based social networks and analyze contact rates within and between pig social units. This fundamental study shows that targeting adult males in feral pig control programs could help global efforts to contain disease. The methods are compelling and the paper should be of interest to the fields of veterinary medicine, public health, and epidemiology.
