Locust Instar Classification Using Deep Learning

open access: yes, 2020
Across the world widespread crop devastation is caused by locusts, contributing to billions of dollars worth of lost food every year. Locusts are difficult to counteract, with major obstacles occurring when trying to track their migration. Work has been done to develop methods of locust tracking using traditional forecasting methods and expertise from ...

Within- and Across-Generational Effects of Temperature: Exposure of <i>Manduca sexta</i> Larvae to Heat Stress Impacts Future Reproduction and Offspring Development. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
We assessed how an acute heat shock event experienced at two different points in Manduca sexta larval development (early and late) impacted adult performance and fitness traits and whether thermal exposure of parents elicited plastic changes in offspring traits.

Validation of the prognosis model SIMAGRIO‐W to predict larval activity in top soil layers for Agriotes larvae in eastern Austria Validierung des Prognosemodells SIMAGRIO‐W zur Vorhersage der Aktivität von Agriotes‐Larven in den obersten Bodenschichten in Ostösterreich

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Wireworms migrate within the soil column depending on the temperature and moisture content of the soil. SIMAGRIO‐W model accuracy comparison between Germany and Austria. Different temperature preferences highlight the need for species‐specific modelling.

Plant Domestication Affects the Oviposition Behavior and Performance of Ganaspis kimorum, a Parasitoid of Drosophila suzukii

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
In this study, we investigated the effects of blueberry domestication on the oviposition behavior and performance of Ganaspis kimorum, a parasitoid of Drosophila suzukii. Domestication of blueberries reduced the oviposition‐searching behavior of the parasitoid but enhanced parasitoid performance, including offspring performance. Additionally, blueberry

Dynamic eIF3-S6 Phase Separation Switch Instructed by m<sup>6</sup>A Modification Drives the Molting of Locusts. [PDF]

open access: yesAdv Sci (Weinh)
This research reveals that reduced m6A modifications during insect molting trigger liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) of the m6A reader eIF3‐S6, which binds and stabilizes key molting mRNAs, including EcR and Cht10. Disrupting m6A or LLPS causes cuticle remodeling defects and molting failure, highlighting the synergistic control of gene expression ...
