A journey into the world of insect lipid metabolism.
Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, 2020Lipid metabolism is fundamental to life. In insects, it is critical, during reproduction, flight, starvation, and diapause. The coordination center for insect lipid metabolism is the fat body, which is analogous to the vertebrate adipose tissue and liver.

Biological control of insect pests by insect parasitoids and predators: the BIOCAT database.
Biocontrol News and Information, 1992The structure of the BIOCAT database, which contains records of the introductions of insect natural enemies for the control of insect pests worldwide, and is now available online, is explained.

Science, 1927
These experiments would seem to prove that no special spiracles are used for inhaling and others used for exhaling, but rather that all are alike in this respect, as the abdomen expands air is taken in and as the body contracts the gases are exhaled.

In his recent review of the developing theory of insect-plant interactions, Gilbert (52) identified four major thrusts in research: insect-plant coevolution, host plants as islands, plant apparency and chemical defense, and resource predictability versus

Fertilized eggs are the crossroads of development. They represent both the origin and the biological goal of each individual organism. Eggs provide in two ways for the embryo they enclose: They contain developmental instructions given by the mother to direct the initial phases of embryogenesis (see Chapters 11–13), and they are usually provisioned with

Strategies for Enhanced Crop Resistance to Insect Pests.
Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2018Insect pests are responsible for substantial crop losses worldwide through direct damage and transmission of plant diseases, and novel approaches that complement or replace broad-spectrum chemical insecticides will facilitate the sustainable ...

The intrinsic rate of natural increase of an insect population
, 1948The intrinsic rate of increase is a basic parameter which an ecologist may wish to establish for an insect population. We define it as the rate of increase per head under specified physical conditions, in an unlimited environment where the effects of ...

Putting the insect into the birch?insect interaction
Oecologia, 2003Leaf maturation in mountain birch (Betula pubescens ssp. czerepanovii) is characterized by rapid shifts in the types of dominant phenolics: from carbon-economic flavonoids aglycons in flushing leaves, via hydrolysable tannins and flavonoid glycosides, to carbon-rich proanthocyanidins (condensed tannins) in mature foliage.
