Preservation of stable isotope niche dynamics in squamate museum specimens

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This paper presents the first research on the effects of fluid specimen preservation in a community context, demonstrating the recovery of metrics of niche dynamics across a diverse array of squamate taxa. Abstract Natural history museums are invaluable resources for large‐scale ecological and evolutionary studies, but certain ecological traits can be ...

The transformer gene controls sexual development in Drosophila suzukii

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The transformer gene plays a key role in the genetic pathway for sexual development in Drosophila suzukii Abstract The genetic network of sex determination in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster was investigated in great detail. Such knowledge not only advances our understanding of the evolution and regulation of sexual dimorphism in insects ...

Genetic engineering for SIT application: a fruit fly‐focused review

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Sterile insect technique (SIT) has become a key component of efficient pest control. Fruit fly pests from the Drosophilidae and Tephritidae families pose a substantial and overwhelmingly increasing threat to the agricultural industry, aggravated by climate change and globalization among other contributors.

Molecular mechanisms of sex determination in Lepidoptera: current status and perspectives

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The genetic basis of sex determination in Lepidoptera was discovered in 2014 in the silkworm Bombyx mori. In this model species, the W chromosome‐derived small piRNA called Fem piRNA downregulates the expression of a Z‐linked gene, Masculinizer (Masc), which leads to the default female‐specific splicing of the doublesex gene (dsxF) and thus to female ...

DsiRNA‐mediated silencing of Ceratitis capitata transformer or transformer‐2 leads to masculinization of XX embryos and systemic gene silencing in ovaries

Insect Science, EarlyView.
We carried out functional studies using Dicer‐substrate small interfering RNAs (DsiRNAs), targeting the sex determination genes Cctransformer (Cctra) and Cctransformer‐2 (Cctra‐2) in the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata). Microinjection of DsiRNAs into XX embryos (0‐1 h old) rapidly triggered the expression of male‐specific Cctra isoforms ...
