Measurement of Neuropeptides in Crustacean Hemolymph via MALDI Mass Spectrometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Neuropeptides are often released into circulatory fluid (hemolymph) to act as circulating hormones and regulate many physiological processes. However, the detection of these low-level peptide hormones in circulation is often complicated by high salt ...

Efecto del parasitismo del isópodo bopírido Ionella agassizi (Isopoda: Epicaridea) (Bornnier, 1900) sobre la fisiología nutricional del nape Neotrypaea uncinata (M. Edwards, 1837) (Decapoda: Thalassinidea) Effects of parasitism in nutritional physiology of the ghost shrimp Neotrypaea uncinata parasitized by the isopod Ionella agassizi

open access: yesRevista Chilena de Historia Natural, 2000
El nape Neotrypaea uncinata se encuentra parasitado en sus branquias por el isópodo Ionella agassizi. Trabajos anteriores han señalado que I. agassizi provoca un efecto negativo en la biología reproductiva del nape, afectando significativamente tanto el ...

THE CHEMISTRY OF INSECT HEMOLYMPH [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of General Physiology, 1959
Free glycerol has been identified as a major solute in plasma of pupae of the silk moth, Hyalophora cecropia. Glycerol is not found in the blood of larvae; it appears about the time of pupation, and then gradually accumulates during diapause to reach after 6 months a level of about 0.3 M. When diapause is broken and the adult develops, glycerol rapidly

Evolutionary trade‐offs between beauvericin production and growth define divergent virulence strategies in Beauveria

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Two virulence strategies in Beauveria: a growth strategy characterized by rapid within‐host proliferation, and a toxin strategy involving antimicrobial activity and toxicity to insects Abstract BACKGROUND Pathogen virulence is often attributed to toxin production, yet toxins are metabolically costly and may not universally enhance fitness.

Infection of Ophiocordyceps sinensis Fungus Causes Dramatic Changes in the Microbiota of Its Thitarodes Host

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The Chinese cordyceps is a unique and valuable parasitic complex of Thitarodes/Hepialus ghost moths and the Ophiocordyceps sinensis fungus for medicine and health foods from the Tibetan Plateau.

Commercial Product Based on Metarhizium Anisopliae Affects Survival, Midgut Morphology, and Behavior in the Stingless Bee Scaptotrigona depilis (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Brazilian social stingless bees are important pollinators and producers of honey, wax, royal jelly, propolis, and other products. These species are experiencing a population decline, attributed to different factors, such as the excessive use of pesticides.

Silencing of juvenile hormone‐related genes through RNA interference leads to molt failure and high mortality in the spongy moth

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
The feasibility of using RNA interference to control the globally important quarantine pest, the spongy moth. Targeting genes related to JHs play an important role in the growth and development of insects. First, the open reading frames (ORFs) of Ldjhamt and Ldjheh were identified and characterized, and the target genes were cloned and double‐stranded ...

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Inheritance of heat stable esterase in near isogenic lines and functional classification of esterase in silkworm Bombyx mori

open access: yesInvertebrate Survival Journal, 2015
Esterases are ubiquitous in living organisms and perform multiple functions in animals, plants, insects and microorganisms. Insect esterases broadly perform physiological and defense functions.
