Insect Consciousness [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2021
The question of consciousness in other species, not least species very physically different from humans such as insects, is highly challenging for a number of reasons. One reason is that we do not have any available empirical method to answer the question.

The Role of Cytochrome P450s in Insect Toxicology and Resistance.

open access: yesAnnual Review of Entomology, 2021
Insect cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) perform a variety of important physiological functions, but it is their role in the detoxification of xenobiotics, such as natural and synthetic insecticides, that is the topic of this review. Recent advances

Insect Declines in the Anthropocene.

open access: yesAnnual Review of Entomology, 2020
Insect declines are being reported worldwide for flying, ground, and aquatic lineages. Most reports come from western and northern Europe, where the insect fauna is well-studied and there are considerable demographic data for many taxonomically disparate

History of the Sterile Insect Technique

open access: yesSterile Insect Technique, 2021
During the 1930s and 1940s the idea of releasing insects of pest species to introduce sterility (sterile insect technique or SIT) into wild populations, and thus control them, was independently conceived in three extremely diverse intellectual ...

Evolutionarily conserved elements in vertebrate, insect, worm, and yeast genomes.

open access: yesGenome Research, 2005
We have conducted a comprehensive search for conserved elements in vertebrate genomes, using genome-wide multiple alignments of five vertebrate species (human, mouse, rat, chicken, and Fugu rubripes).
