Rapid hormonal rise in honey bees due to heat‐shock is mitigated by a primer pheromone

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
We show that honey bee foragers increased juvenile hormone (JH) titers significantly after heat‐shocked for 1 h at 40 °C, but this increase is dependent on social conditions. Increase of JH titers only happened when bees were isolated (one worker bee per vial) but not in groups.

TcALS knockdown accelerates metamorphosis via insulin signaling in Tribolium castaneum

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
RNAi silencing of TcALS accelerates larva‐to‐pupa metamorphosis in Tribolium castaneum. Abstract Insect metamorphosis is an evolutionary adaptation precisely regulated by nutritional and hormonal cues. The red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum, a major stored‐product pest, serves as an excellent model for studying this process.

Comparison of Three Sympatric Desert Lizards: Digestive Tract Structure, Digestive Enzyme Activities, Gut Microbiota, and Metabolites

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We performed 16S rDNA sequencing and metabolite profiling for three sympatric lizard species—Teratoscincus roborowskii, Phrynocephalus axillaris, and Eremias roborowskii—and compared their goblet cell and enzyme activities in the digestive tract. Our study suggests that the dietary niche may promote divergence or convergence of microbiota across host ...

Effect of Social Rank on Gut Microbes and Their Metabolites of Greater Long‐Tailed Hamsters (Tscherskia triton)

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Social rank in greater long‐tailed hamsters (Tscherskia triton) shapes gut microbiota composition and metabolite profiles. Dominant males exhibit a “high‐vigilance, metabolically activated” phenotype, with elevated aggression and specific gut microbiota enriched in energy‐harvesting taxa and fecal queuine.
