Evolution of the sugar receptors in insects
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009 Background Perception of sugars is an invaluable ability for insects which often derive quickly accessible energy from these molecules. A distinctive subfamily of eight proteins within the gustatory receptor (Gr) family has been identified as sugar ...

Using thermal death time models to analyze cold stress resistance across Drosophila species
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2363-2378, August 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Chill susceptible insects such as Drosophila are vulnerable to progressive disruption of homeostasis during cold stress, and low‐temperature exposure is a key factor affecting their physiology and distribution.

Genetic differentiation and adaptive evolution of buff‐tailed bumblebees in Asia
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1719-1736, August 2026.This study investigates the genetic differentiation and local adaptation of the buff‐tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) across its European and Asian populations. Using whole‐genome resequencing, we identified distinct genetic differences between populations, with Asian B. terrestris representing a unique genetic resource.

Codon usage in twelve species of
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007 Background Codon usage bias (CUB), the uneven use of synonymous codons, is a ubiquitous observation in virtually all organisms examined. The pattern of codon usage is generally similar among closely related species, but differs significantly among ...

CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated mutagenesis of the white‐eye gene in the tephritid pest Bactrocera zonata
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 476-490, April 2026.Abstract Bactrocera zonata is a highly invasive agricultural pest that causes extensive damage to fruit crops. The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), a species‐specific and environmentally friendly pest control method, significantly benefits from the availability of Genetic Sexing Strains (GSSs) that enable efficient mass production of males for sterile ...

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.Genome‐wide and morphometric analyses of a Greek grasshopper complex (genus Chorthippus) uncover Middle Pleistocene divergence into two major clades separated by the Corinthian Gulf, with further diversification within the Peloponnese. Hybridization is geographically restricted and asymmetric, mainly from long‐winged to short‐winged taxa, indicating ...
