TcFur1, a furin 1 ortholog in Tribolium castaneum, regulates reproduction and carbohydrate metabolism without affecting lipid homeostasis

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
TcFur1, a furin 1 ortholog in Tribolium castaneum, is highly expressed in pupae and declines in adults. TcFur1 knockdown reduces oviposition but does not alter triacylglycerol levels or total lipase activity. TcFur1 knockdown increases circulating trehalose and decreases expression of insulin‐like peptides and the AKH receptor.

Simulation and analysis of butterfly-inspired eclosion deployable structure [PDF]

, 2013
Deployable structures, as an important kind of structure, have been widely used in a variety of satellite antennas and space reflectors. The research of deployable structures usually faces a series of theoretical and technical challenges because the size

Cryptochrome-mediated integration of circadian rhythms into seasonal cycles in the silkworm Bombyx mori

Frontiers in Physiology
The domesticated silkworm Bombyx mori is both a major sericultural species and a powerful model for studying how environmental cues are converted into developmental decisions.

A Glial Interplay Regulates Junctional Architecture at the Blood–Brain Barrier of Drosophila

Glia, Volume 75, Issue 1, January 2027.
Drosophila perineurial glia are required for septate junction formation at the blood–brain barrier. Glucose transport across the blood–brain barrier is maintained in the absence of perineurial glia. Perineurial glia ablation increases glucose‐only diet sensitivity.

Preimaginal development of Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae) in brackish water gives rise to adult mosquitoes with thicker cuticles and greater insecticide resistance

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 759-773, December 2026.
The principal arboviral vector Aedes aegypti can develop in coastal brackish water field habitats (0.5–15 g/L salt) with larvae possessing thicker cuticles and greater resistance to the larvicide Temephos. Females emerging from brackish water‐developing preimaginal stages are now shown to have thicker and remodelled leg and abdominal cuticles and ...

The influence of pupal colour on diapause and post‐diapause success in the swallowtail butterfly Papilio machaon

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 575-583, December 2026.
The swallowtail butterfly Papilio machaon has a brown‐ and green‐coloured morph, with the brown being more common in the diapausing generation. The darker colouration of brown pupae did not confer advantages for thermoregulation when developing, but they did have lower diapause metabolic rates.

Biochar Suppresses Growth, Pupation and Eclosion Success of a Specialist (Manduca sexta) and a Generalist (Spodoptera frugiperda) Insect Herbivore

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment
Biochar is a charcoal‐like substance made by the pyrolysis of organic material from agricultural and forestry waste. While biochar is well documented for altering soil physicochemical conditions, few studies have investigated its possible effects on the ...

Ontogenia temprana de Poblana letholepis (Actinopterygii: Atherinopsidae)

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2016
Poblana letholepis es endémica del lago cráter La Preciosa, Puebla. La especie está amenazada debido a que su hábitat se encuentra bajo desecación por la deforestación, el sobrepastoreo y malas prácticas de riego.

Asymmetric Evolution of Antennal Cell Types Underlies a Derived Ammonia‐Sensing Logic for Ecological Adaptation in Bactrocera dorsalis

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 62, 9 November 2026.
Comparative antennal single‐nucleus transcriptomics reveals cell‐type‐dependent transcriptomic divergence in Bactrocera dorsalis, with similar structural cells but divergent sensory neurons. This neuronal diversification is associated with a distinct ammonia‐sensing pathway, linking female attraction to bird‐dropping‐associated cues with nutritional ...
