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 ...

Reconstruction of insect hormone pathways in an aquatic firefly, Sclerotia aquatilis (Coleoptera: Lampyridae), using RNA-seq [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Insect hormones: ecdysteroids and juvenile hormones have crucial functions during the regulation of different developmental pathways in insects. Insect metamorphosis is one of the primary pathways regulated by these hormones.

Metabolism of Epoxidised Withanolides by a Generalist and a Specialist Insect Species
ChemistryOpen, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2025.Larvae of Heliothis (Chloridea) virescence and subflexa have the ability to convert the epoxidized terpenoid 4β‐hydroxywithanolide E (4BHWE) to withanolide S. The conversion is found by feeding the larvae an artificial diet supplemented with 13C‐labeled 4BHWE.

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2641-2659, December 2025.ABSTRACT The environment experienced by a mother influences offspring phenotype through maternal effects, which can have significant adaptive benefits for both the mother and the offspring. However, the ways in which maternal environments influence offspring development are extremely diverse, and empirical studies using an outcome‐based approach often ...

APPi: A Multiscale Qualitative–Quantitative Insecticide‐Likeness Evaluation Platform and Application
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 11, Page 4844-4856, November 2025.An Agrochem Predictive Platform for Insecticide‐likeness: From Qualitative Rules to Quantitative Modeling and Visualization. ABSTRACT According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), pests reduce global crop production by 14% annually. The growing challenge of pest resistance, coupled with the relatively low success rates
