The role of endosymbionts in the evolution of haploid-male genetic systems in scale insects (Coccoidea) [PDF]

, 2012
There is an extraordinary diversity in genetic systems across species, but this variation remains poorly understood. In part, this is because the mechanisms responsible for transitions between systems are often unknown.

Insects and Public Health: An Overview

, 2023
Insects are, by far, the most common animals on our planet. The ubiquity and plethora of ecological niches occupied by insects, along with the strict and sometimes forced coexistence between insects and humans, make insects a target of public health ...

Effect of policosanol from insect wax on amyloid β-peptide-induced toxicity in a transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans model of Alzheimer’s disease

BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies, 2021
Background Alzheimer’s disease (AD), an age-related neurodegenerative disorder and a serious public health concern, is mainly caused by β-amyloid (Aβ)-induced toxicity.

Evidence-based assessment of container suitability for alcohol-preserved natural history specimens [PDF]

Natural History Collections and Museomics
Specimens preserved in alcohol require ongoing monitoring to prevent deterioration, as the preservative is inherently unstable and susceptible to evaporation and concentration changes. The Natural History Museum, London, holds a collection of true flies (

Polyphenism in Insects [PDF]

Current Biology, 2011
Polyphenism is the phenomenon where two or more distinct phenotypes are produced by the same genotype. Examples of polyphenism provide some of the most compelling systems for the study of epigenetics. Polyphenisms are a major reason for the success of the insects, allowing them to partition life history stages (with larvae dedicated to feeding and ...
