Prothoracicostatic Activity of the Ecdysis-Regulating Neuropeptide Crustacean Cardioactive Peptide (CCAP) in the Desert Locust [PDF]

, 2021
Accurate control of innate behaviors associated with developmental transitions requires functional integration of hormonal and neural signals. Insect molting is regulated by a set of neuropeptides, which trigger periodic pulses in ecdysteroid hormone ...

How to Reproduce in the Siberian Winter: Proteome Dynamics Reveals the Timing of Reproduction‐Related Processes in an Amphipod Species Endemic to Lake Baikal

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
The vast Lake Baikal in Siberia is located in a region with a continental climate, implying pronounced seasonal temperature differences. Remarkably, reproducing during the extremely cold winters when the lake is covered by a thick ice layer is a common trait in Baikal's endemic littoral amphipods.

Target gene selection for sprayable dsRNA‐based biopesticide against Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae)

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 6, Page 3055-3065, June 2025.
Silencing Prosbeta‐5 and Prosbeta‐1 resulted in high mortality in Tetranychus urticae, identifying them as potential target genes for double‐stranded RNA‐based biopesticides using spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS). Abstract BACKGROUND Because of the excessive use of synthetic chemicals, the two‐spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, a highly ...

Transcriptomic analysis of crustacean neuropeptide signaling during the moult cycle in the green shore crab, Carcinus maenas [PDF]

, 2018
Background Ecdysis is an innate behaviour programme by which all arthropods moult their exoskeletons. The complex suite of interacting neuropeptides that orchestrate ecdysis is well studied in insects, but details of the crustacean ecdysis cassette are ...

Role of Atg3, Atg5 and Atg12 in the crosstalk between apoptosis and autophagy in the posterior silk gland of Bombyx mori

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 34, Issue 3, Page 470-485, June 2025.
Autophagy‐related genes exert their effects not only by regulating autophagy but also by modulating apoptosis. This study provided evidence for anti‐apoptotic effects of Atg3 and Atg5 and pro‐apoptotic effects of Atg12 in the posterior silk gland.

The PRXamide Neuropeptide Signalling System: Conserved in Animals [PDF]

, 2015
The PRXamide family of neuropeptides is based on the core amino acids at the C-terminal end that are required for activity and on sequence homology of their cell-surface G protein-coupled receptors.

Completion of metamorphosis after adult emergence in Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae) [PDF]

, 2021
The ecdysis of the imago is a crucial step in the development of holometabolous insects. However, no information on several aspects of Ceratitis capitata imago emergence and subsequent body maturation is available.

Diverse in- and output polarities and high complexity of local synaptic and non-synaptic signalling within a chemically defined class of peptidergic Drosophila neurons

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2013
Peptidergic neurons are not easily integrated into current connectomics concepts, since their peptide messages can be distributed via non-synaptic paracrine signalling or volume transmission.

Plant‐Derived Natural Products and Their Nano Transformation: A Sustainable Option Towards Desert Locust Infestations

ChemistryOpen, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2025.
The review explores the latest updates (2013–2024) and information about pesticidal plants (22 plant species) that are distributed across Africa and offers insights into the integration of nanoformulated natural compounds as a more sustainable option to control desert locust invasions.
