A South African Scenario: Structure and Function of Peptides of the Adipokinetic Hormone Family of the Brown Locust, Locustana pardalina, and the Putative Role of These Peptides in Plague Management

open access: yesArchives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 120, Issue 2, October 2025.
1. The brown locust produces the three adipokinetic hormones Locmi‐AKH‐I, ‐II and ‐III found also in the migratory locust. 2. Flight is characterised by differential changes in haemolymph carbohydrate and lipid levels. 3. Modelling ligand‐receptor binding is proposed as important step to a new strategy to combat the brown locust.

Facultative Climbing in Two Widespread Skink Species Found Along the East Coast of Australia

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 4, April 2025.
Many primarily ground dwelling vertebrates are known to occasionally climb trees and other vertical structures, although this is relatively rarely reported among terrestrial reptiles. The garden skink (Lampropholis guichenoti) and weasel skink (Saproscincus mustelinus) are widely recognised as terrestrial species that shelter and forage among leaf ...
