Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty
Insect Science, EarlyView.Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Adaptation of the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii to a specialized nutritional niche
Insect Science, EarlyView.Unlike most Drosophila larvae that feed on spoiled food, Drosophila suzukii larvae thrive on ripening fruits and consequently face a low‐protein, high‐carbohydrate nutritional challenge. Comparisons of growth among D. suzukii, D. biarmipes, and D. melanogaster larvae across diets with varying protein‐to‐carbohydrate ratios demonstrate that D.

Males are worse mothers: Comparing care patterns in a facultatively caring beetle
Insect Science, EarlyView.Why should biparental care exist if offspring fare just as well when only one parent is present? In the facultatively dependent burying beetle, Nicrophorus vespilloides, manipulating environmental quality reveals that biparental care benefits offspring in form of lower personal immune requirement and parents in term of weight gain.

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Four‐year field monitoring and laboratory studies revealed M. dirhodum occurs regularly in barley with high reproductive potential and extended adult longevity. Populations peaked during vulnerable crop stages, creating optimal conditions for BYDV transmission during critical infection windows. M.

Ontogenia temprana de Poblana letholepis (Actinopterygii: Atherinopsidae)
Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2016 Poblana letholepis es endémica del lago cráter La Preciosa, Puebla. La especie está amenazada debido a que su hábitat se encuentra bajo desecación por la deforestación, el sobrepastoreo y malas prácticas de riego.

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cinetorhynchus occur mainly in shallow waters of temperate to tropical regions. Among the 28 species of Rhynchocinetidae, there are only six with larval morphology known and the description of the larva of Cinetorhynchus rigens is succinct. Thus, we redescribe the zoea I of C.

SoxC is Required for Ecdysteroid Induction of Neuropeptide Genes During Insect Eclosion
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 In insects, the shedding of the old exoskeleton is accomplished through ecdysis which is typically followed by the expansion and tanning of the new cuticle.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We describe methods for collecting and rearing the tachinid parasitoid Istocheta aldrichi from parasitized Japanese beetle adults. Hosts can be collected by hand and reared in the laboratory, or by using modified trap containers with added plant material and substrate to provide suitable conditions for I.

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.TcFur1, a furin 1 ortholog in Tribolium castaneum, is highly expressed in pupae and declines in adults. TcFur1 knockdown reduces oviposition but does not alter triacylglycerol levels or total lipase activity. TcFur1 knockdown increases circulating trehalose and decreases expression of insulin‐like peptides and the AKH receptor.

A Glial Interplay Regulates Junctional Architecture at the Blood–Brain Barrier of Drosophila
Glia, Volume 75, Issue 1, January 2027.Drosophila perineurial glia are required for septate junction formation at the blood–brain barrier. Glucose transport across the blood–brain barrier is maintained in the absence of perineurial glia. Perineurial glia ablation increases glucose‐only diet sensitivity.
