DINeR: Database for Insect Neuropeptide Research [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Neuropeptides are responsible for regulating a variety of functions, including development, metabolism, water and ion homeostasis, and as neuromodulators in circuits of the central nervous system.

The case for emulating insect brains using anatomical "wiring diagrams" equipped with biophysical models of neuronal activity

open access: yes, 2018
Developing whole-brain emulation (WBE) technology would provide immense benefits across neuroscience, biomedicine, artificial intelligence, and robotics.

The Malaise Trap: Its Utility and Potential for Sampling Insect Populations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Slightly over three decades have elapsed since Malaise (1937) first published plans for the insect trap now bearing his name a stationary mesh tent with open sides, a central baffle, and a top-mounted collecting apparatus (Fig. 1).

Sorghum–Insect Composites for Healthier Cookies: Nutritional, Functional, and Technological Evaluation

open access: yesFoods, 2020
Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) is a major health concern in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Relying on unexploited and regionally available rich sources of proteins such as insects and sorghum might contribute towards addressing PEM among at-risk ...

Wickerhamomyces anomalus in Mosquitoes: A Promising Yeast-Based Tool for the “Symbiotic Control” of Mosquito-Borne Diseases

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The ascomycete yeast Wickerhamomyces anomalus is a mutualistic symbiont of different insects, including diptera vectors of diseases. Although fungal symbioses have been so far poorly characterized, the topic is gaining attention as yeast-insect ...

Diurnal Sampling of the Insect Complex of Alfalfa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The appearance of the alfalfa weevil, Hypera postica (Gyllenhal), in Michigan in 1966 (Dowdy 1966) necessitated intensive testing of methods for its control.

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Changes in Microbiota Composition Along the Metamorphosis Developmental Stages of Chironomus transvaalensis

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Chironomids (Diptera; Chironomidae), also known as non-biting midges, are one of the most abundant insects in freshwater habitats. Our aim was to understand whether the metamorphosis developmental stages affect the endogenous microbiota composition of ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...
