Microbial Odorant Detection Guides Drosophila Parasitoids Seeking Hosts in Fermenting Fruits
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Yeast microbes in fermenting fruits attract both host flies and their parasitoid wasps. Female Leptopilina boulardi detect yeast‐emitted ethyl esters via two olfactory receptors, LbouOR167 and LbouOR136. A conserved residue, Leu159, is critical for binding these compounds, enabling female wasps to locate host‐rich habitats.

A role of corazonin receptor in larval-pupal transition and pupariation in the oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae) [PDF]
, 2017 Corazonin (Crz) is a neuropeptide hormone, but also a neuropeptide modulator that is internally released within the CNS, and it has a widespread distribution in insects with diverse physiological functions.

SUPERNUMERARY LARVAL INSTARS IN CYCLORRHAPHOUS DIPTERA
The Biological Bulletin, 1972 1. The developmental program for metamorphosis is determined in third instar larvae of Calliphora and Sarcophaga very early after ecdysis. The process is activated by feeding and can be delayed for many days by starvation.2. High doses of ecdysterone (20 µg per larva) injected just after ecdysis or in starved larvae cause a precocious molt and the ...

Variation in honey bee gut microbial diversity affected by ontogenetic stage, age and geographic location [PDF]
, 2015 Social honey bees, Apis mellifera, host a set of distinct microbiota, which is similar across the continents and various honey bee species. Some of these bacteria, such as lactobacilli, have been linked to immunity and defence against pathogens. Pathogen

Notes on the Biology and Parasitoids of the Sweet Fern Underwing (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Michigan [PDF]
, 2017 (excerpt) The sweet fern underwing, Catocala antinympha (Hubner), sometimes called the wayward nymph (Holland, 1968), is one of several lepidopterous defoliators of sweet fern, Comptonia peregrina (L.) Coult.

Stage‐Specific H3K14 and H3K23 Succinylation Orchestrates Insect Metamorphosis and Oogenesis
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Stage‐specific succinylation of histone H3 at lysine 14 and 23 differentially controls insect metamorphosis and oogenesis through distinct GPCR‐PKC signaling cascades, revealing an evolutionarily conserved epigenetic mechanism that coordinates key life‐history traits.
