Embryogenesis in Myrmicine Ants Combines Features of Short Germ‐Band Development With a Progressive Mode of Segmentation

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Different insect species exhibit remarkable diversity in the developmental trajectories from fertilized eggs to hatching larvae. For three myrmicine ant species, we observe a novel combination of a developmental features: small embryonic primordia, a mode of embryogenesis termed short/intermediate germ‐band development, and progressive establishment of

Control of the Colorado Potato Beetle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) on Tomatoes with \u3ci\u3eBacillus Thuringiensis\u3c/i\u3e Var. \u3ci\u3eThuringiensis\u3c/i\u3e [PDF]

, 2017
(excerpt) The Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), is a serious pest of tomatoes grown in this country. This beetle is also developing resistance to several classes of chemical insecticides including most of the carbamates ...

Expression of De Novo Open Reading Frames in Natural Populations of Drosophila melanogaster

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
We show that newly‐evolved, expressed open reading frames (neORFs) identified in a set of inbred Drosophila melanogaster lines are also expressed in multiple tissues and developmental stages of pooled population samples from Europe and Africa, although differential expression of neORFs between populations is often tissue‐ or stage‐specific. ABSTRACT De

Neurodegenerative and Neurodevelopmental Roles for Bulk Lipid Transporters VPS13A and BLTP2

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bridge‐like lipid transfer proteins (BLTPs) mediate bulk lipid transport at membrane contact sites. Mutations in BLTPs are linked to both early‐onset neurodevelopmental and later‐onset neurodegenerative diseases, including movement disorders.

The Effects of Different Diets and Transgenerational Stress on Acyrthosiphon pisum Development. [PDF]

, 2019
Despite the fact that sap-feeding hemipterans are major agricultural pests, little is known about the pea aphid's (Acyrthosiphon pisum) nymphal development, compared to other insect models. Given our limited understanding of A.

Unapparent trees: escaping enemies in time by being discreet, unpredictable and inaccessible

Oikos, EarlyView.
For half a century, biologists considered trees as particularly apparent to their enemies. But why then do some trees escape herbivorous enemies by bursting buds either too early or too late, leading to phenological mismatch? We hypothesize that such mismatches occur on trees that are unapparent in time – those that burst buds ‘discreetly' (slowly) and

A review and meta‐analysis of host‐plant selection by lepidopteran larvae: no evidence of diet breadth constraints on larval decision‐making

Oikos, EarlyView.
Information processing by herbivorous insects can impair the accuracy of decision‐making during host‐plant selection. Consequently, insects with a narrower diet breadth are expected to be more accurate decision‐makers, as they cope with a smaller set of relevant stimuli.

Lessons learned exploiting a multi‐year large‐scale data set derived from operational quality assessment of mosquito larval treatments in rain catch basins

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Results highlight opposite associations between percentages of positive rain catch basins treated with diflubenzuron and Bacillus against mosquito larvae and/or pupae and the intervals between treatments and inspections, and spatial variability in vector control.

Species and life stages of Odonata nymphs sampled with large drift nets in two Wisconsin rivers [PDF]

, 2017
Because relatively few nymphs of Odonata are caught in most drift studies, they have been inconsistently reported and little is known about the species and life stages that are predisposed to drift.
