The article in PNAS provides evidence for a mechanism that rescues fertility of chromosomal hybrids in species with holocentric chromosomes.
The article published in Nature Conservation proposes a new education programme using field-based entomological research to promote awareness about forest ecosystem conservation.
The article in Frontiers in Physiology demonstrates that adipokinetic hormone controls not only energy homeostasis in Drosophila, but also behavioural matters as strength of daily rhythms or negative geotaxis.
Researcher Eliška Padyšáková, Institute of Entomology, BC CAS, was awarded "Peter Ashton Prize" for the Outstanding Paper in Biotropica by a Student: Padyšáková, E. and Janeček, Š.

“The article published in Molecular Ecology explores the hidden diversity of ants in Melanesia and gives robust evidence for a trait-dependent dispersal scenario. The authors reveal that Island Biogeography is not necessarily neutral.”
We show that aphid pest populations with high prevalence of protective bacteria have strong intrinsic immunity, contrary to the expectations.
W chromosomes of the iconic moth Abraxas grossulariata and its congener A. sylvata are highly degenerated and diverged and consist mostly of female-specific sequences that have independently spread over 9.5 MY old history of these species...
The article in Journal of Ecology that while scent is an effective signal for partner recognition, there are other barriers which help maintain the stability of such a species specific mutualism.
Floral scent divergence and pollinator morphology promote pollinator isolation and potential speciation in the fig and fig-wasp mutualism.
The article in Journal of Biogeography represents the first intercontinental comparison of assemblages of seed- and fruit-feeding insects in tropical rainforests.
