New record and dietary ecology of a poorly-known treefrog, Zhangixalus pachyproctus Yu, Hui, Hou, Wu, Rao & Yang, 2019 (Anura, Rhacophoridae) in Vietnam [PDF]

open access: yesBiodiversity Data Journal
The White-lipped Treefrog Zhangixalus pachyproctus Yu, Hui, Hou, Wu, Rao & Yang, 2019 was previously confused with Zhangixalus smaragdinus (Blyth, 1852). Records of Zhangixalus smaragdinus from Yunnan (China), Vietnam and Thailand were recognised

Comparative Analysis of Gut Eukaryotic Communities in Three Laboratory‐Reared Cockroach Species Using Metabarcoding [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Cockroaches are known reservoirs for diverse bacterial microbiomes. However, comprehensive analyses of the eukaryotic communities within cockroaches remain limited. In this study, we selected three long‐term laboratory‐reared cockroach species (Blattella germanica, Periplaneta fuliginosa, and Periplaneta japonica) and performed metabarcoding ...

Evaluating Entomopathogenic Nematodes as Biocontrol Agents Against Two Major Cockroach Species, Blattella germanica and Periplaneta americana, in Antalya, Türkiye [PDF]

open access: yesPathogens
Cockroaches, particularly the German cockroach (Blattella germanica Linnaeus, Blattodea: Ectobiidae) and the American cockroach (Periplaneta americana (Linnaeus), Blattodea: Blattidae), are major public health pests due to their ability to transmit ...

Cockroach tergal glands producing female sex attractant pheromones and male aphrodisiacs in particular in the subfamily Blaberinae (Blattaria: Blaberidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2006
Two principal pheromones are essential in all cockroach sexual behavioral sequences: the volatile sex attractant pheromone released by one partner for long distance attraction and an aphrodisiac sex pheromone produced exclusively by male tergal glands ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of the subsocial cockroach Nauphoeta cinerea and phylogenomic analyses of Blattodea mitogenomes suggest reclassification of superfamilies

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017
The genome of the subsocial cockroach Nauphoeta cinerea was partially sequenced in one-twelfth of an Illumina HiSeq lane. The mitochondrial genome was assembled using MIRA software, yielding a circular molecule of 15,923 bp in length and deposited in ...

Capsazepine affects thermal preferences of the American cockroach (Blattodea: Blattidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2016
Capsazepine is a competitive antagonist of capsaicin, a TRPV1 agonist responsible for the spicy taste of pepper. TRPV1 agonists and antagonists are known to affect mammalian body temperature, but their action on thermoregulation in insects is poorly ...

Conserved orthology in termite chemosensory gene families

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Termites are eusocial insects known to use a variety of pheromones in tasks necessary for maintenance of their societies. As such, olfaction and pheromone communication in termites has been an object of intense study; trail-following pheromones (TFPs ...
