Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.This study documents the first worldwide record of the parasitic leech Myzobdella lugubris and the commensal barnacle Amphibalanus improvisus associated with invasive Atlantic blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) in southwestern Europe. Molecular analyses confirmed the identity of these Western Atlantic native species, highlighting a complex multi‐level co‐

PHYSIOLOGICAL SYMPTOMS INDUCED BY ECDYSONE AGONIST METHOXYFENOZIDE ON THE COTTON LEAFWORM, SPODOPTERA LITTORALIS (BOISD.) [PDF]
Arab Universities Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2009 Newly ecdysed fourth instar larvae of the cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis (Boisd.) were treated with LC50 of ecdysone agonist methoxyfenozide, to provide better insights into physiological symptoms and aspects induced by it as a mimic to the 20 ...

Entomological Research, Volume 56, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Pryeria sinica Moore is a significant pest of Celastraceae and Pentaphylacaceae plants, causing extensive defoliation in East Asia and beyond. Although its morphological and biological characteristics have been studied in China and Japan, detailed research on the Korean population remains limited.

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 115-125, April 2026.Group I LPMO15‐1 cDNAs from two economically important forest insect pests, M. alternatus and P. hilaris, were cloned. MaLPMO15‐1 and PhLPMO15‐1 show a similar pattern of expression during late stages of development. RNAi for LPMO15‐1 causes failure of adult eclosion in both M. alternatus and P. hilaris.

SoxC is Required for Ecdysteroid Induction of Neuropeptide Genes During Insect Eclosion
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 In insects, the shedding of the old exoskeleton is accomplished through ecdysis which is typically followed by the expansion and tanning of the new cuticle.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 4, February 2026.ABSTRACT Understanding how organisms respond to chemical stress requires disentangling genetically encoded (constitutive) adaptations from environmentally induced (plastic) responses. This challenge is particularly acute for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), widespread aquatic pollutants with well‐documented toxicity, where mechanisms of ...
