Thermal Plasticity is Regulated by a Key MicroRNA During Range Expansion of an Invasive Fruit Fly
Populations at the invasion front of Bactrocera dorsalis adapt through reduced phenotypic and gene expression plasticity, a phenomenon likely to be driven by genetic assimilation. We identify a key miRNA‐mediated regulatory axis, in which miR‐276b post‐transcriptionally represses thw, a conserved chitin‐binding gene critical to the cold‐tolerance ...

Molecular bases of insect odorant receptor function: specificity and evolution
ABSTRACT Insect odorant receptors (ORs) are a class of chemoreceptors that insects use to detect volatile cues in their environment. In recent years, major advances in the field of structural biology have made it possible to obtain the first structures of insect ORs.

Evaluating Conservation Corridor Success for Rare and Common Dragonflies Using Zeta Diversity
This study applied the zeta diversity framework to evaluate how conservation corridors in South African timber plantations impact dragonfly assemblages, finding that corridors function similarly to natural habitats. The research findings showed that dragonfly species richness was higher in corridors than in natural areas, consistently declining with ...

This study investigated whether small, artificial ponds deployed within a commercial farm can function as microhabitats supporting diverse invertebrate communities. We recorded 40 invertebrate taxa from nine orders utilising the ponds, including honey bees, lady beetles and spiders, as well as three species of eristaline hoverflies.

Morph-Specific Fecundity and Egg Size in the Female-Dimorphic Damselfly Ischnura senegalensis [PDF]
Females of coenagrionid damselflies exhibit color dimorphism, consisting of an andromorph and a gynomorph. This study compared reproductive traits between the female morphs in both field-captured and laboratory-reared females of the female-dimorphic ...
