Protein Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023 Abstract Insects have evolved a chemical communication system using terpenoids, a structurally diverse class of specialized metabolites, previously thought to be exclusively produced by plants and microbes. Gene discovery, bioinformatics, and biochemical characterization of multiple insect terpene synthases (TPSs) revealed that isopentenyl diphosphate ...

Ecological Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 1, Page 90-101, February 2023., 2023 Fireflies in worse condition or collected later in the season had reduced survival relative to fireflies in better condition or collected earlier in the season. Serratia marcescens and Providencia rettgeri infections increased firefly mortality while Providencia sneebia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterococcus faecalis infections did not. Abstract The
