The molecular evolutionary dynamics of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) genes in Hymenoptera

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017
BackgroundThe primary energy-producing pathway in eukaryotic cells, the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system, comprises proteins encoded by both mitochondrial and nuclear genes.

Diversity of ant assemblages (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in an urban environment in Cameroon during and after colonization of the area by Wasmannia auropunctata

European Journal of Entomology, 2019
Invasive species disrupt the organization and functioning of many ant communities. Little is known about ant assemblages formerly in areas invaded by the little fire ant.

The Centrosomes of Haploid and Diploid Cells Have an Equal Number of Centrioles in the Parasitoid Wasp Anisopteromalus Calandrae

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark
Background: The centrosome is the main center of the organization of microtubules (MT) in the cell, the origin for the formation of flagella and cilia, as well as the site of many regulatory intracellular processes.

Expansion of the fatty acyl reductase gene family shaped pheromone communication in Hymenoptera

bioRxiv, 2018
The conserved fatty acyl reductase (FAR) family is involved in biosynthesis of fatty alcohols that serve a range of biological roles. In moths, butterflies (Lepidoptera), and bees (Hymenoptera), FARs biosynthesize fatty alcohol pheromones participating ...

Slit in a Nest Site Influences the Nest Site Selection in Cavity Nesting Ant Colonies

Insects
For ants, nests provide a refuge against predators and protection from environmental factors. Thus, choosing a good nest site is important for an ant colony, but nest sites are limited resources. Ants of the genus Temnothorax inhabit small cavities in, e.

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

Clinical 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

The evolution of heat shock protein sequences, cis-regulatory elements, and expression profiles in the eusocial Hymenoptera

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2016
BackgroundThe eusocial Hymenoptera have radiated across a wide range of thermal environments, exposing them to significant physiological stressors. We reconstructed the evolutionary history of three families of Heat Shock Proteins (Hsp90, Hsp70, Hsp40 ...

Chemoreceptor Evolution in Hymenoptera and Its Implications for the Evolution of Eusociality

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2015
Eusocial insects, mostly Hymenoptera, have evolved unique colonial lifestyles that rely on the perception of social context mainly through pheromones, and chemoreceptors are hypothesized to have played important adaptive roles in the evolution of ...
