Hemipteran vectors of stylet‐borne plant viruses: Aphids lead the charge
Insect Science, EarlyView.Among all sap‐feeding hemipterans, aphids stand out by far as the most important vectors of noncirculative plant viruses. Compared to whiteflies and mealybugs, aphids’ highly specialized stylet anatomy and distinct feeding behaviors contribute, together with other features of their biology, to their remarkable efficiency in transmitting stylet‐borne ...

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

Bat Tongues and Foraging: Linking Morphology to Hunting Strategies
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We linked the bat tongue's mediodorsal lobe (MDL), a muscular prominence, to foraging strategies. Aerial hawkers exhibit tall MDLs and prominent forward‐pointing papillae. The MDL may function as a barrier or filter, preventing unintentional ingestion of non‐food material, aiding in prey handling, and controlling food access during fast flight ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Multi‐omics analysis reveals that herbivorous adaptation in Lordiphosa flies arises from coordinated interactions across the genome, transcriptome, and gut microbiota: genomic expansions of detoxification (e.g., cytochrome P450s) and carbohydrate metabolism gene families, transcriptomic upregulation of energy pathways like lipid oxidation and ...

Addiction, EarlyView.Abstract Background and aims Cocaine use disorder (CUD) is a significant global health concern, characterized by persistent craving despite severe consequences. Recent theories highlight maladaptive memory processes – such as intrusive, vivid recollections of past substance use that arise spontaneously in daily life – as key contributors to craving and

Comprehensive transduceromic profiling of NOP receptor ligands at different Gα subunits
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Background and Purpose The nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) peptide receptor (NOP) is an opioid receptor family member with distinct pharmacology and broad therapeutic potential. NOP receptors regulate functions such as nociception, stress reactivity, reward, mood, autonomic tone, immunity and sleep/wake cycle.
