A South African Scenario: Structure and Function of Peptides of the Adipokinetic Hormone Family of the Brown Locust, Locustana pardalina, and the Putative Role of These Peptides in Plague Management. [PDF]

Arch Insect Biochem Physiol
1. The brown locust produces the three adipokinetic hormones Locmi‐AKH‐I, ‐II and ‐III found also in the migratory locust. 2. Flight is characterised by differential changes in haemolymph carbohydrate and lipid levels. 3. Modelling ligand‐receptor binding is proposed as important step to a new strategy to combat the brown locust.

Developing and Applying RNA Empirical Models With Secondary Structure Insights for Orthoptera Phylogenetics. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In the RNA secondary structure, paired regions experience stronger natural selection pressure than unpaired regions and are characterized by a higher density of coevolutionary sites. The empirical RNA evolutionary model that fully incorporates all base pairings can generate more reliable phylogenetic relationships.
