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
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
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†
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?
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

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
