A new species of Mermiglossa from Kenya, with comments on the arrangement of Old World Panurginae (Hymenoptera: Andrenidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A new species of the panurgine bee genus Mermiglossa Friese (Panurginae) is described and figured from females captured near Voi in the southern part of the former Coast Province, Kenya, a historical type locality for several bee species.

Extended longevity of termite kings and queens is accompanied by extranuclear localization of telomerase in somatic organs and caste‐specific expression of its isoforms

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 32, Issue 2, Page 364-384, April 2025.
We recently reported that long‐lived termite kings and queens display an increased enzymatic activity and abundance of telomerase in their soma when compared to short‐lived workers. We hypothesized that this telomerase activation may represent its noncanonical pro‐longevity function, independent of its canonical role in telomere maintenance.

Patterns of positive selection in seven ant genomes [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2013
The evolution of ants is marked by remarkable adaptations that allowed the development of very complex social systems. To identify how ant-specific adaptations are associated with patterns of molecular evolution, we searched for signs of positive selection on amino-acid changes in proteins.

Acute kidney injury due to multiple Hymenoptera stings—a clinicopathological study

open access: yesClinical Kidney Journal, 2017
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) after multiple Hymenoptera stings is well known but still a rare phenomenon. Methods We conducted a retrospective study of the clinicopathological spectrum of AKI due to multiple Hymenoptera stings over 13 years (July

Beyond adult models: Tribolium castaneum larval timekeeping reveals unexpected robustness and insights into circadian clock

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Circadian rhythms are self‐sustained endogenous oscillations that are found in all living organisms. In insects, circadian rhythms control a wide variety of behavioral and physiological processes, including feeding, locomotion, mating, and metabolism.

Identification of similarity amongst eucalyptus planted areas based on leaf-cutting ant nest sizes [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
Techniques for leaf-cutting ant control have been investigated in literature due to the importance of the damage they cause to agriculture. The effectiveness of different forms of control is explored in researches aimed at identifying the balance between pest control efficiency and environmental damage caused by the treatments applied. Plantations with

The transformer gene controls sexual development in Drosophila suzukii

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
The transformer gene plays a key role in the genetic pathway for sexual development in Drosophila suzukii Abstract The genetic network of sex determination in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster was investigated in great detail. Such knowledge not only advances our understanding of the evolution and regulation of sexual dimorphism in insects ...
