Stress in dipteran insects mass‐reared for sterile insect technique applications

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1495-1523, October 2025.
The connections between biotic and abiotic stress affecting mass‐reared dipteran insects and the associated stress and immunological responses. Numbers indicate the order in which the topics are discussed in this review. Abstract Stress may be viewed as the disturbance of homeostasis of an organism.

Comparative genomics of the tardigrades Hypsibius dujardini and Ramazzottius varieornatus.

PLoS Biology, 2017
Tardigrada, a phylum of meiofaunal organisms, have been at the center of discussions of the evolution of Metazoa, the biology of survival in extreme environments, and the role of horizontal gene transfer in animal evolution.

A Dual Role of Common Mammals as Dispersers of Plants and Micro‐Invertebrates Across Isolated Wetlands

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Dispersal strategies are vital for sessile or passively moving organisms, profoundly influencing the distribution and survival of plant and small‐sized animal species. The role of large mammals in dispersal and habitat (re)colonisation is well recognised, yet their full contribution across propagule taxa, various dispersers and dispersal ...

Exposure, body size, and zooplankton overland dispersal capacity

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 1, Page 15-24, January 2025.
Abstract The dormant life stages of freshwater zooplankton are generally resistant to environmental exposure, and this facilitates their overland dispersal. However, environmental exposure and overland dispersal are less well studied for the active life stages of freshwater zooplankton.

Biomorph Soft Actuators with Tardigrade‐Like Resilience

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 34, Issue 46, November 12, 2024.
Biomorph soft actuators, made of dual‐layer hydrogel spheres with embedded fluid bubbles, can replicate the unique adaptability features of tardigrades, including their dehydration and rehydration mechanisms. These smart structures are highly resilient to compressive, thermal, and radiation stimuli, demonstrating advanced capabilities such as driving ...

Carbon balance: A technique to assess comparative photosynthetic physiology in poikilohydric plants

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 12, Issue 5, September-October 2024.
Abstract Premise Poikilohydric plants respond to hydration by undergoing dry–wet–dry cycles. Carbon balance represents the net gain or loss of carbon from each cycle. Here we present the first standard protocol for measuring carbon balance, including a custom‐modified chamber system for infrared gas analysis, 12‐h continuous monitoring, resolution of ...

Multiple Roles of Photosynthetic and Sunscreen Pigments in Cyanobacteria Focusing on the Oxidative Stress

Metabolites, 2013
Cyanobacteria have two types of sunscreen pigments, scytonemin and mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs). These secondary metabolites are thought to play multiple roles against several environmental stresses such as UV radiation and desiccation.

Development of a Tet-On Inducible Expression System for the Anhydrobiotic Cell Line, Pv11

Insects, 2020
The Pv11 cell line established from an African chironomid, Polypedilum vanderplanki, is the only cell line tolerant to complete desiccation. In Pv11 cells, a constitutive expression system for Pv11 cells was previously exploited and several reporter ...

Comparative studies on storage cells in tardigrades during starvation and anhydrobiosis

Current Zoology, 2010
The impact of starvation and anhydrobiosis on the number and size of the storage cells in the tardigrade species Milnesium tardigradum, Paramacrobiotus tonollii and Macrobiotus sapiens was investigated to gain more insight on the energetic side of ...
