At 2 5 °C, thermal activation initiates: i) CcIav/CcNan heterotetramer assembly → Ca2⁺ influx; ii) CcPKCα phosphorylation → AKH signaling potentiation; iii) CcAKH1 binding to membrane‐localized CcAKHR → energy mobilization (lipid catabolism/glycogenolysis) and vitellogenin transport via follicular patency; iv) Oocyte maturation → summer‐form nymph ...

The Role of Hematophagous Arthropods, Other than Mosquitoes and Ticks, in Arbovirus Transmission
Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) significantly impact human, domestic animal, and wildlife health. While most arboviruses are transmitted to vertebrate hosts by blood-feeding mosquitoes and ticks, a growing body of evidence highlights the importance

Many active principles produced by animals, plants and microorganisms have been employed in the development of new drugs to treat diseases such as cancer. Among the animals that produce pharmacologically active molecules capable of interfering in human cellular physiology, the highlights are venomous arthropods, such as scorpions, bees, wasps, spiders,

A Synthesized Neural Control System for Bioinspired Robots to Achieve Diverse Locomotion
A novel hexapod robot named RENS H2 based on the synthesized neural control system. The control system is constructed based on the central pattern generator and virtual motoneurons network, serving as the foundation of the behavioral network. It encompasses omnidirectional movement, regulation of motor neuron intensity, sensorimotor integration, local ...
