Climate change effect on the widely distributed Palearctic plant bug species (Insecta: Heteroptera: Miridae) [PDF]

PeerJ
Insects are poikilothermic organisms and temperature increase usually accelerates their development rates, population and distribution area growth. Therefore, it is assumed that global warming can be beneficial for the pests and other widespread species ...

Molecular response of gall induction by aphid Schlechtendalia chinensis (Bell) attack on Rhus chinensis Mill

Journal of Plant Interactions, 2017
Horned gall is named after its shape of irregular diamond, and is induced by the fluid-feeding aphid Schlechtendalia chinensis (Bell) attacks on the leaflets that are located in the branchlets of Rhus chinensis Mill., which is enriched in gallotannin and

Louse (Insecta : Phthiraptera) mitochondrial 12S rRNA secondary structure is highly variable [PDF]

, 2002
Lice are ectoparasitic insects hosted by birds and mammals. Mitochondrial 12S rRNA sequences obtained from lice show considerable length variation and are very difficult to align.

A Putative TRAPα Protein of Microsporidia Nosema bombycis Exhibits Non-Canonical Alternative Polyadenylation in Transcripts

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Microsporidia are obligate intracellular eukaryotic parasites that have significantly reduced genomes and that have lost most of their introns. In the current study, we characterized a gene in microsporidia Nosema bombycis, annotated as TRAPα (HNbTRAPα).

Insects Associated with Michigan Bumblebees (\u3ci\u3eBombus\u3c/i\u3e Spp.) [PDF]

, 2017
(excerpt) Studies of insect associates of bumblebees are not new. For example, Tuck (1896, 1897) reported over 50 species of insects associated with nests of British bumblebees. Sladen (1912) discussed nest associates and parasites of European bumblebees,

How Cultural Perceptions and Food Preparation Affect Westerners View of Insects as Food [PDF]

, 2018
There has been a recent push to encourage westerners to introduce insects into their diets. Traditional arguments that stress environmental and nutritional benefits have been largely unsuccessful.

pH‐mediated activation of the lysosomal arginine sensor SLC38A9

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cells monitor nutrient levels via the lysosomal transporter SLC38A9 to activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). This study reveals that SLC38A9 function is regulated by pH. We identified histidine 544 as a critical pH sensor that undergoes conformational changes to control amino acid efflux from lysosomes; therefore, it ...
