INTRAGUILD PREDATION AMONG DIFFERENT LARVAL INSTARS OF Metasyrphus corollae (F.) (DIPTERA: SYRPHIDAE) AND Exochomus nigromaculatus (GOEZE) (COLEOPTERA: COCCINELLIDAE) [PDF]
Journal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2010 The interspecific interactions between different larval instars of two aphidophagous predator species,M. corollaeand E. nigromaculatus were examined under laboratory conditions.

Subversion of Atypical Mucin Traps by a Spore‐Coat Effector Blocks Cellular Immunity in Drosophila
Advanced Science, EarlyView.While the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii can evade insect humoral immunity, its subversion of cellular defenses is still elusive. We identify Eac1 as a spore‐coat protein essential for infecting drosophilids by targeting atypical mucins (Sgf1 and Sgf2), which can entrap spores in a gel matrix and thereby facilitate hemocyte encapsulation.

The implications of temperature-mediated plasticity in larval instar number for development within a marine invertebrate, the shrimp Palaemonetes varians. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Variations in larval instar number are common among arthropods. Here, we assess the implications of temperature-mediated variations in larval instar number for larval development time, larval growth rates, and juvenile dry weight within the palaemonid ...

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aging represents a critical risk factor for chronic diseases, driving an urgent demand for interventions promoting healthy longevity. This study establishes standardized guidelines for high‐throughput screening (HTS) of anti‐aging natural products using Drosophila melanogaster, leveraging its intestinal homeostasis as a biomarker.

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Plant Protection Science, 2007 The mortality of larvae and pupae of Adoxophyes orana was examined by keeping larvae of each larval instar (L1-L5) on an artificial diet in laboratory conditions. Larvae were infected by using an artificial diet containing AdorGV-based CAPEX® 2.
