The Intricate Role of Ecdysis Triggering Hormone Signaling in Insect Development and Reproductive Regulation [PDF]
Insects, 2023 Insect growth is interrupted by molts, during which the insect develops a new exoskeleton. The exoskeleton confers protection and undergoes shedding between each developmental stage through an evolutionarily conserved and ordered sequence of behaviors ...

Using insecticidal compounds to elucidate the potential role of neurotransmitters in Lepidoptera pupal ecdysis [PDF]
Scientific ReportsPreviously, we reported final-instar lepidopteran larvae exposed to low doses of imidacloprid, clothianidin, and thiamethoxam had arrest in pupal ecdysis, which is a novel adverse outcome for neonicotinoid insecticides.

Characterization of eclosion hormone receptor function reveals differential hormonal control of ecdysis during Drosophila development. [PDF]
PLoS GeneticsNeuromodulators and peptide hormones play important roles in regulating animal behavior. A well-studied example is ecdysis, which is used by insects to shed their exoskeleton at the end of each molt.

Evaluation of BugBox, a software platform for AI-assisted bioinventories of arthropods. [PDF]
J Anim EcolThe BugBox artificial intelligence platform performed reliably on coarse biodiversity analysis of agrobiont arthropods, even while its models were still being developed and trained. This gives scientists the ability to conduct large‐scale bioinventories rapidly, to inform growers and policymakers on environmental issues in a timely fashion.

Potential Causes of Shedding Aggregations in Prairie Rattlesnakes
Ecology and EvolutionAggregation is common across taxa and typically confers clear benefits to group members (e.g., allo‐parenting, group defense, thermoregulation, access to resources). But aggregation can also be costly.

Ophidiomycosis Prevalence and Disease Ecology in a Natrix tessellata (Laurenti, 1768) Population From Northern Italy. [PDF]
J Exp Zool A Ecol Integr PhysiolABSTRACT Fungal pathogens pose a growing threat to vertebrate biodiversity. In snakes, Ophidiomyces ophidiicola (Oo) has garnered particular concern, although its impact in Europe remains poorly understood. We conducted a season‐long, standardized survey of dice snakes (Natrix tessellata) along the northern shore of Lake Como (Italy) to quantify Oo and

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 Insects must undergo ecdysis for successful development and growth, and the ecdysis triggering hormone (ETH), released by the Inka cells, is a master hormone in this process. In this study, we determined the sequence of the ETH precursor and receptors in
