Trade-offs between personal immunity and reproduction in the burying beetle, N. vespilloides [PDF]
, 2014 We know that parental investment and immune investment are costly processes, but it is unclear which trait will be prioritised when both may be required.

Rapid Assessment of Insect Steroid Hormone Entry Into Cultured Cells
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Steroid hormones control development and homeostasis in a wide variety of animals by interacting with intracellular nuclear receptors. Recent discoveries in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster revealed that insect steroid hormones or ecdysteroids are ...

OsEUL lectin gene expression in rice : stress regulation, subcellular localization and tissue specificity [PDF]
, 2020 The Euonymus lectin (EUL) family is a unique group of carbohydrate-binding proteins that is omnipresent in plants. Sequences encoding EUL-related lectins have been retrieved from all completely sequenced plant genomes.

Insulin-Like Peptides and Cross-Talk With Other Factors in the Regulation of Insect Metabolism
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 The insulin-like peptide (ILP) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signalling pathways play a crucial role in the regulation of metabolism, growth and development, fecundity, stress resistance, and lifespan.

Forager bees (Apis mellifera) highly express immune and detoxification genes in tissues associated with nectar processing. [PDF]
, 2015 Pollinators, including honey bees, routinely encounter potentially harmful microorganisms and phytochemicals during foraging. However, the mechanisms by which honey bees manage these potential threats are poorly understood.
