Arthropod-Inducible Proteins: Broad Spectrum Defenses against Multiple Herbivores [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2008 Our understanding of the role of plant proteins in defense against herbivores lags behind that of proteins involved in defense against pathogens. However, recent microarray and proteomic approaches have revealed that a broader array of proteins may be involved with defense against herbivores ...

Variation among arthropod taxa in the amino acid content of exoskeleton and digestible tissue
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Arthropod consumption provides amino acids to invertebrates and vertebrates alike, but not all amino acids in arthropods may be digestible as some are bound in the exoskeleton.

Evolution of arthropod hemocyanins and insect storage proteins (hexamerins). [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 1994 Crustacean and cheliceratan hemocyanins (oxygen-transport proteins) and insect hexamerins (storage proteins) are homologous gene products, although the latter do not bind oxygen and do not possess the copper-binding histidines present in the hemocyanins.
