Functional Analysis of a Multiple-Domain CTL15 in the Innate Immunity, Eclosion, and Reproduction of Tribolium castaneum [PDF]
Cells, 2023 C-type lectin X (CTL-X) plays critical roles in immune defense, cell adhesion, and developmental regulation. Here, a transmembrane CTL-X of Tribolium castaneum, TcCTL15, with multiple domains was characterized.

Road to sexual maturity: Behavioral event schedule from eclosion to first mating in each sex of Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
iScience, 2023 Summary: Animals achieve their first mating through the process of sexual maturation. This study examined the precise and detailed timing of a series of behavioral events, including wing expansion, first feeding, first excretion, and courtship, during ...

Post‐eclosion temperature effects on insect cuticular hydrocarbon profiles [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The insect cuticle is the interface between internal homeostasis and the often harsh external environment. Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) are key constituents of this hard cuticle and are associated with a variety of functions including stress response ...

Hormonal control of eclosion of flies from the puparium [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1984 Pharate flies ( Sarcophaga bullata ) very close to eclosion were injected with hemolymph from eclosing flies or various other preparations, kept at 10°C for 24 hr, returned to room temperature, and tested for eclosion behavior (ongoing, attempted, or completed eclosion) during the first 30 min, the subsequent 2½ hr,

Receptor guanylyl cyclases in Inka cells targeted by eclosion hormone [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2009 A signature of eclosion hormone (EH) action in insect ecdysis is elevation of cGMP in Inka cells, leading to massive release of ecdysis triggering hormone (ETH) and ecdysis initiation. Although this aspect of EH-induced signal transduction is well known, the receptor mediating this process has not been identified.
