Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Mating order and remating of females by males with different endosymbiont associations strongly shape Wolbachia‐induced cytoplasmic incompatibility, female fitness and offspring sex ratio. An incompatible first mating was weakly affected if followed by a compatible mating and vice versa, indicating strong first‐male sperm precedence with consequences ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.The 454A‐CYP9K1‐mediated resistance confers fitness advantages regarding pupation and longevity in Anopheles funestus, resulting to a slow susceptibility reversion. By contrast, the 119F‐GSTe2 resistance allele rapidly declines. Abstract BACKGROUND Resistance management is critical to maintain insecticide effectiveness in malaria control, and ...

The endosymbiont Wolbachia increases insulin/IGF-like signalling in Drosophila [PDF]
, 2009 Insulin/IGF-like signalling (IIS) is an evolutionarily conserved pathway that has diverse functions in multi-cellular organisms. Mutations that reduce IIS can have pleiotropic effects on growth, development, metabolic homeostasis, fecundity, stress ...

Female Drosophila melanogaster respond to song-amplitude modulations
Biology Open, 2018 Males in numerous animal species use mating songs to attract females and intimidate competitors. We demonstrate that modulations in song amplitude are behaviourally relevant in the fruit fly Drosophila. We show that Drosophila melanogaster females prefer

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.The Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 strain GR15‐1R shows partial resistance to neonicotinoids (bottom), which correlates with an increased expression of the P450 gene CYP6CM1 compared to the insecticide‐susceptible strain SU07‐1 (top). Abstract BACKGROUND Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 is a highly invasive and polyphagous pest species of agricultural and horticultural ...

Conserved noncoding transcription and core promoter regulatory code in early Drosophila development
eLife, 2017 Multicellular development is driven by regulatory programs that orchestrate the transcription of protein-coding and noncoding genes. To decipher this genomic regulatory code, and to investigate the developmental relevance of noncoding transcription, we ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Resistance to spinetoram in Phthorimaea absoluta is rapidly selected and functionally recessive at field‐relevant concentrations. Metabolic detoxification contributes partially, while cross‐resistance to spinosad and increased susceptibility to diamides and isoxazolines highlight practical options for resistance monitoring and insecticide rotation ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.AgEcR, an ecdysone receptor from Aphis gossypii, is an RNA interference (RNAi) target. Artificial diet screening of five double ‐ stranded RNA fragments identified dsAgEcR2 targeting the D/E junction as the most potent. Transgenic goji expressing dsAgEcR2 caused molting defects and reduced fecundity, suppressing population growth and offering a ...
