TcALS knockdown accelerates metamorphosis via insulin signaling in Tribolium castaneum
Insect Science, EarlyView.RNAi silencing of TcALS accelerates larva‐to‐pupa metamorphosis in Tribolium castaneum. Abstract Insect metamorphosis is an evolutionary adaptation precisely regulated by nutritional and hormonal cues. The red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum, a major stored‐product pest, serves as an excellent model for studying this process.

Studies of hemolymph coagulation in Manduca sexta
, 1990 Hemolymph coagulation is vital to insect survival because it minimizes loss of hemolymph and limits infection by potential pathogens. Insects have a rigid exoskeleton but do not have blood vessels.

Effect of the microbiome on pathogen susceptibility across four Drosophilidae species
Insect Science, EarlyView.Four Drosophilidae species were used to investigate how variation in the host microbiome influences susceptibility to infection. Microbial composition and abundance differed among species and treatments. The effects of microbiome manipulation on host survival were both species‐ and pathogen‐specific.

Males are worse mothers: Comparing care patterns in a facultatively caring beetle
Insect Science, EarlyView.Why should biparental care exist if offspring fare just as well when only one parent is present? In the facultatively dependent burying beetle, Nicrophorus vespilloides, manipulating environmental quality reveals that biparental care benefits offspring in form of lower personal immune requirement and parents in term of weight gain.

Acid–base Balance of the Hemolymph in Hard-shelled Mussel Mytilus coruscus in Normoxic Conditions [PDF]
, 2017 We examined hemolymph pH, total CO2 content (Tco2), CO2 partial pressure (Pco2) and bicarbonate concentration ([HCO3-]） in order to evaluate the acid-base balance of the hard-shelled mussel Mytilus coruscus in normoxic conditions.

Schematic models to maintain the hemolymph lipid level.
, 2016 (A) For crickets feeding normally, the hemolymph lipid level is maintained by shuttling between HDLp to LDLp; however, the hemolymph lipid level was maintained at similar levels even in GrybiApoLp-III knockdown crickets.

Journal of Insect Science, 2002 Lipophorin is the major hemolymph protein responsible for lipid transport between tissues of insects. Lipophorins from several insect species in order Diptera (the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster from the suborder Brachycera, the mosquito Aedes aegypti;

Aphid and endosymbiont sensitivity to heatwaves is misaligned across life stages
Insect Science, EarlyView.Aphids depend on the obligate symbiont Buchnera aphidicola, which may constrain thermal tolerance. Using a factorial heatwave experiment, we exposed nymphs and adults to moderate or extreme temperatures and measured fitness and symbiont responses.

Defensin Levels in Spider Hemolymph
, 2015 Spiders, like all arthropods, exclusively rely on an innate immune system localized in the hemocytes to protect against pathogen invasion. In the hemocytes of the wandering spider Cupiennius salei (C.
