Genome-wide analysis of ionotropic receptors provides insight into their evolution in Heliconius butterflies. [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: In a world of chemical cues, smell and taste are essential senses for survival. Here we focused on Heliconius, a diverse group of butterflies that exhibit variation in pre- and post-zygotic isolation and chemically-mediated behaviors across ...

Unmated Queens Show Worker‐Like Behaviour and Gene Expression in Polygynous Colonies of the Ant Stigmatomma pallipes

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 9, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Insect societies show a reproductive division of labor between egg‐laying queens and workers that fulfil all non‐reproductive tasks. Polygyny, the coexistence of several queens in a colony, has evolved multiple times in social insects. Although queens in polygynous colonies are often assumed to have similar reproductive outputs, they may ...

A saposin deficiency model in Drosophila: Lysosomal storage, progressive neurodegeneration and sensory physiological decline [PDF]

, 2017
Saposin deficiency is a childhood neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder (LSD) that can cause premature death within three months of life.

Beneficial rhizobacteria and virus infection modulate the soybean metabolome and influence the feeding preferences of the virus vector Epilachna varivestis

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 4, Page 2599-2618, May 2026.
Summary Beneficial rhizobacteria and viral pathogens can both alter host plant phenotypes, yet little is known about how their simultaneous presence influences plant metabolism and species interactions. We investigated how two rhizobacteria, Bradyrhizobium japonicum and Delftia acidovorans, together with bean pod mottle virus (BPMV), shape soybean ...

A Novel Dual‐Target Compound Designed With Potent Herbicidal and Fungicidal Activity Inspired by Conserved Phytoene Synthase Domains

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 2903-2913, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The development of dual‐target inhibitors represents a cost‐effective strategy for integrated pest management. Here, we report the first dual‐target inhibitors designed against the evolutionarily conserved domain of phytoene synthase (PSY), a key enzyme in carotenoid biosynthesis.

Behaviors that come out of a copepod's mind

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Many aquatic environments are changing much faster than the gene pools of animals inhabiting them. To better predict how a copepod will behave, it is helpful to try to fathom the world from its sensory and cognitive system. Studies of genes, hormones, neuropeptides, and neural circuits can reveal underlying mechanisms while behavioral studies ...

The evolution of olfactory gene families in Drosophila and the genomic basis of chemical-ecological adaptation in Drosophila suzukii [PDF]

, 2016
How the evolution of olfactory genes correlates with adaption to new ecological niches is still a debated topic. We explored this issue in Drosophila suzukii, an emergin gmodel that reproduces on fresh fruit rather than in fermenting substrates likemost ...

Closing the gap: a roadmap to single‐cell regulatory genomics

Molecular Systems Biology, 2020
Studying the spatiotemporal control of gene regulatory networks at the single‐cell level is still a challenge, yet it is key to understanding the mechanisms driving cellular identity. In their recent study, Aerts and colleagues (González‐Blas et al, 2020)

The Developmental Transcriptome of the Mosquito Aedes aegypti, an Invasive Species and Major Arbovirus Vector [PDF]

, 2013
Mosquitoes are vectors of a number of important human and animal diseases. The development of novel vector control strategies requires a thorough understanding of mosquito biology.

The role of Atonal transcription factors in the development of mechanosensitive cells [PDF]

, 2013
Mechanosensation is an evolutionarily ancient sensory modality seen in allmain animal groups. Mechanosensation can be mediated by sensory neurons or by dedicated receptor cells that form synapses with sensory neurons.
