Co‐phylogeny and biogeography of the myrmecophilous beetle Paussus favieri (Carabidae, Paussinae) and its host ant Pheidole pallidula (Hymenoptera, Myrmicinae)

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Strict patterns of co‐divergence have rarely been documented other than among organisms and their symbionts. In this paper, using a molecular approach, we inferr the population‐level phylogenies of a Mediterranean ant species Pheidole pallidula and its nest parasite, the obligate myrmecophilous beetle Paussus favieri. We then investigate the role of co‐

LsFAMeT and LsJHAMT coordinate JH biosynthesis to regulate fecundity in Laodelphax striatellus

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
The small brown planthopper (SBPH), Laodelphax striatellus, can trigger large‐scale outbreaks when encountering suitable habitats during migration due to their strong reproductive ability. This study investigated the role of juvenile hormone (JH) in regulating SBPH reproduction.

Reduced fertilization regimes could boost biocontrol service without reducing crop yield

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Fertilization level influences pest control effectiveness in tomato crops. High fertilization increases plant growth and aphid density but reduces the performance of the parasitoid Aphidius ervi. In contrast, the predator Adalia bipunctata maintains consistent aphid suppression regardless of fertilization regime.

Adaptation of the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii to a specialized nutritional niche

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Unlike most Drosophila larvae that feed on spoiled food, Drosophila suzukii larvae thrive on ripening fruits and consequently face a low‐protein, high‐carbohydrate nutritional challenge. Comparisons of growth among D. suzukii, D. biarmipes, and D. melanogaster larvae across diets with varying protein‐to‐carbohydrate ratios demonstrate that D.

Humble beginnings of the Australian giant wood moth (Endoxyla cinereus): A century‐old mystery solved

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
The Australian giant wood moth (Endoxyla cinereus) feeds within the galls of scale insects (Apiomorpha) before transitioning into its wood‐boring eucalypt larval phase. This transitionary phase may be key to its multi‐year development, at the end of which it can produce over 100 000 eggs.

Inhalant allergy to egg yolk and egg white proteins

Clinical & Experimental Allergy, 1998
BackgroundSeveral egg white and egg yolk and avian proteins have been described as a cause of inhalant allergy. Sometimes inhalational type I hypersensitivity to these proteins is associated with food allergy to egg.ObjectiveWe studied two patients who experienced respiratory and food allergic symptoms upon exposure to egg or avian antigens through the

The egg-white proteins of the Adelie penguin

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, 1966
Abstract 1. 1. The egg-white proteins of the Antarctic Adelie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae) were studied by a variety of physical, chemical, biochemical and immunological methods. 2. 2. As compared to other avian whites, the penguin egg white was unusually high (4–5 per cent) in sialic acid and quite low in lysozyme (approximately 0.05 per ...

Interactions of isothiocyanates with egg white proteins

Food / Nahrung, 1994
AbstractGlucosinolates and their very highly reactive breakdown products (mainly isothiocyanates = ITC) belong to one of the most important natural toxicants. This paper deals with the interactions of allyl‐, butyl‐, phenyl‐ and benzyl ITC with egg white proteins resulting in the formation of ITC‐protein‐conjugates. The ITC's react with amino groups by
