Expression of De Novo Open Reading Frames in Natural Populations of Drosophila melanogaster

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
We show that newly‐evolved, expressed open reading frames (neORFs) identified in a set of inbred Drosophila melanogaster lines are also expressed in multiple tissues and developmental stages of pooled population samples from Europe and Africa, although differential expression of neORFs between populations is often tissue‐ or stage‐specific.

Neurodegenerative and Neurodevelopmental Roles for Bulk Lipid Transporters VPS13A and BLTP2

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bridge‐like lipid transfer proteins (BLTPs) mediate bulk lipid transport at membrane contact sites. Mutations in BLTPs are linked to both early‐onset neurodevelopmental and later‐onset neurodegenerative diseases, including movement disorders.

Clear effects of population and sex but not rearing temperature on stress tolerance in a temperate butterfly

Oikos, EarlyView.
With temperatures rising globally due to climate change, an organism's survival depends both on its direct tolerance to rising temperatures and its tolerance to indirect effects of warming, such as resource shortage. Genetic background and phenotypic plasticity in the form of acclimation are known to affect stress tolerance, but much about genetic ...

Does Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) have a preferential instar to parasitize Tephritidae (Diptera)?

Iheringia: Série Zoologia, 2019
Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead, 1905) is a koinobiont parasitoid of Tephritidae larvae, the third instar larvae of which is considered preferential, but it is able to parasitize other larval stages and compete with native parasitoids.

Divergence in Gut Bacterial Community Among Life Stages of the Rainbow Stag Beetle Phalacrognathus muelleri (Coleptera: Lucanidae)

Insects, 2020
Although stag beetles are popular saprophytic insects, there are few studies about their gut bacterial community. This study focused on the gut bacterial community structure of the rainbow stag beetle (i.e., Phalacrognathus muelleri) in its larvae (three

Unapparent trees: escaping enemies in time by being discreet, unpredictable and inaccessible

Oikos, EarlyView.
For half a century, biologists considered trees as particularly apparent to their enemies. But why then do some trees escape herbivorous enemies by bursting buds either too early or too late, leading to phenological mismatch? We hypothesize that such mismatches occur on trees that are unapparent in time – those that burst buds ‘discreetly' (slowly) and

BIOLOGÍA DE Diomus sp (Coleoptera: Coccinelidae) EN CONDICIONES DE LABORATORIO Y OBSERVACIONES SOBRE SU MORFOLOGÍA

Tecnociencia, 2007
     Existen pocos estudios básicos sobre biología de coccinélidos depredadores de áfidos y su potencial como agentes de control biológico. El propósito de este estudio fue establecer la biología de Diomus sp (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) como depredador ...

A review and meta‐analysis of host‐plant selection by lepidopteran larvae: no evidence of diet breadth constraints on larval decision‐making

Oikos, EarlyView.
Information processing by herbivorous insects can impair the accuracy of decision‐making during host‐plant selection. Consequently, insects with a narrower diet breadth are expected to be more accurate decision‐makers, as they cope with a smaller set of relevant stimuli.

Factors Impacting the Use of an Allelochemical Lure in Pome Fruit for Cydia pomonella (L.) Monitoring

Insects
A four-component blend comprising pear ester, DMNT, linalool oxide, and acetic acid (CM4K) was identified as a potent allelochemical lure for both sexes of codling moth (CM), Cydia pomonella (L.).

Development of the solitary larval endoparasitoid Glyptapanteles porthetriae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) in its host Lymantria dispar (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2000
The development of the solitary endoparasitic braconid Glyptapanteles porthetriae in gypsy moth larvae of different ages was studied. Host larvae were parasitized during the premolt to the 2nd instar (A-larvae), to the 3rd instar (B-larvae) or to the 4th
