Insect Lipids as Novel Source for Future Applications: Chemical Composition and Industry Applications—A Comprehensive Review

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2025.
Fat body (FB) acts as a major metabolic center important for the regulation of a variety of physiological processes such as embryogenesis, reproduction, flight, overwintering, protection, and communication. Lipid amounts and fatty acid (FA) composition vary with species, stage of life, and their diet.

Discovery and biological characterization of a novel mesoionic insecticide fenmezoditiaz

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 5, Page 2535-2552, May 2025.
Acetylcholine binding protein (AChBP) from the sea slug Aplysia californica was modified using site‐directed mutagenesis to create an insect‐like binding site enabling structure‐based compound design. Fenmezoditiaz is a systemic insecticide with a broad spectrum, lack of cross‐resistance and an additional tool for integrated pest management and ...

The cryptonephridial/rectal complex: an evolutionary adaptation for water and ion conservation

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 2, Page 647-671, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Arthropods have integrated digestive and renal systems, which function to acquire and maintain homeostatically the substances they require for survival. The cryptonephridial complex (CNC) is an evolutionary novelty in which the renal organs and gut have been dramatically reorganised. Parts of the renal or Malpighian tubules (MpTs) form a close

International Biological Flora: Trapa natans†

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 10, Page 2386-2420, October 2024.
The water caltrop (Trapa natans L.) was once widely distributed in its native range, but is in some part (i.e. Europe) nowadays very rare, highly threatened and of conservation concern for still unknown reasons. It has been introduced beyond its native range (e.g.

Is mating failure caused by cryptic male choice in the seed bug Lygaeus simulans?

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.
We expect cryptic mating failure–the failure to produce offspring due to fertilisation or insemination failure–to be strongly selected against because copulations are costly and are also a fundamental route to fitness. Mating failure is common in nature however, and in the seed bug Lygaeus simulans, rates are high (40%–60%). We performed experiments to

Humidity modifies species‐specific and age‐dependent heat stress effects in an insect host‐parasitoid interaction

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.
Understanding how species and their interactions respond to extreme heat events is important to evaluate the impact of climate change. Using a well‐established host‐parasitoid system, we show that the life history responses of hosts and parasitoids to heat waves can largely depend on humidity levels. Abstract Climate change is projected to increase the

Feeding performance and some biological parameters of the Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) on artificial diets containing bran of different wheat cultivars

open access: yesJournal of Crop Protection, 2014
The eggs and larvae of the Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner), are widely used in mass rearing of parasitoids and predators. Feeding indices and some biological parameters of P.
