Theme and variation in the evolution of insect sex determination

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 340, Issue 2, Page 162-181, March 2023., 2023
Graphical abstract Sex determination and dimorphic somatic differentiation are common in insects, such as the milkweed bugs (Oncopeltus fasciatus) shown here. Variation in the functions and structure of genes implicated in insect sex determination is not uniformly distributed.

Plant–arthropod interactions of an endangered California lupine

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022
This article reports previously undocumented plant–arthropod interactions of the endangered California Nipomo mesa lupine. The presence of herbivorous arthropods and the absence of pollinators observed in this study have implications for future conservation efforts for this species.

Floral attraction and flower visitors of a subcanopy, tropical rainforest tree, Fontainea picrosperma

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 15, Page 10468-10482, August 2021., 2021
Pollinators beneath the rainforest canopy occupy a unique microclimate that is markedly different from the canopy environment that receives more light energy. We studied the floral attractants and floral visitors of a dioecious, subcanopy rainforest tree, Fontainea picrosperma (Euphorbiaceae), in northern Australia.

The loss of the urea cycle and ornithine metabolism in different insect orders: An omics approach. [PDF]

Insect Mol Biol
Among urea cycle enzymes, only the nitric oxide synthase gene is universally present across insect genomes. All Hemiptera species lack the enzymes needed to convert citrulline to arginine, and some also lack the pathway from arginine to ornithine. Putrescine and spermidine synthesis is conserved in all insects, but aphids lack the capability to produce
