How Do Female Pest Tephritids Behave During Male Courtship?

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
In this paper, the female role during male courtship was described for the first time in fruit flies. Our findings show that females imitate some male behaviors and suggest that certain behaviors are associated with male mating success. Indeed, the Mediterranean fruit fly displays fewer behavioral units (i.e., shorter courtship sequences) than ...

Environmental stress influences reproductive success in male spider mites

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
This experiment explores how male juvenile food stress impacts reproductive traits in the haplodiploid spider mite Tetranychus urticae. Males exposed to juvenile food stress had lower reproductive success and females mated to these males also suffered reduced fitness as they were not able to produce optimal offspring sex ratios. The negative effects of

Sex‐Specific Control and Incomplete Matings: Sperm Removal Behavior in a Bush Cricket Species

open access: yesEthology, EarlyView.
In this study, we investigated which sex influences the duration of sperm removal behaviour (SRB) in the ornate bush cricket, Metaplastes ornatus. Female traits showed a weak effect on SRB duration, and lighter females mated more frequently. Frequent unsuccessful mating terminations shortened SRB indicating high level of sexual conflict.

Molecular basis of domain‐specific angiotensin I‐converting enzyme inhibition by the antihypertensive drugs enalaprilat, ramiprilat, trandolaprilat, quinaprilat and perindoprilat

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Inhibition of angiotensin I‐converting enzyme is an effective strategy for the treatment of hypertension. However, the clinically available ACE inhibitors cause side effects due to nonselective inhibition of the two catalytic domains of ACE (nACE and cACE).
