Gut Microbiomes of Two Bamboo Locusts Reveal Divergent Metabolic Potentials. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We compared the gut microbiota of two bamboo‐feeding locust pests, Ceracris kiangsu and Ceracris nigricornis, using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing for six geographic populations of C. kiangsu and publicly available C. nigricornis datasets. Both species were dominated by Firmicutes and Proteobacteria, but showed significant differences in community ...

The Sensilla-Specific Expression and Subcellular Localization of SNMP1 and SNMP2 Reveal Novel Insights into Their Roles in the Antenna of the Desert Locust Schistocerca gregaria

Insects, 2022
Insect olfactory sensilla house olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) and supports cells (SCs). The olfactory sensory processes require, besides the odorant receptors (ORs), insect-specific members of the CD36 family, named sensory neuron membrane proteins ...

Isolation, Identification and Insecticidal Activity of the Secondary Metabolites of Talaromyces purpureogenus BS5

Journal of Fungi, 2022
The fungal strain BS5 was isolated from a soil sample collected in the Tibetan Plateau, which displayed good insecticidal activity and was identified as Talaromyces purpureogenus based on morphological and molecular analysis. This study aimed to evaluate

The neuropeptide F/nitric oxide pathway is essential for shaping locomotor plasticity underlying locust phase transition

eLife, 2017
Behavioral plasticity is widespread in swarming animals, but little is known about its underlying neural and molecular mechanisms. Here, we report that a neuropeptide F (NPF)/nitric oxide (NO) pathway plays a critical role in the locomotor plasticity of ...

Reduction in Aedes aegypti Population After a Year-Long Application of Targeted Sterile Insect Releases in the West Valley Region of Southern California

Insects
Aedes aegypti is of great public health concern because of its vectorial capacity to transmit various arboviruses such as Zika, yellow fever, dengue, and chikungunya. In California, its expanding geographic distribution has been unrestrained.

Molecular Identification and Immunity Functional Characterization of Lmserpin1 in Locusta migratoria manilensis

Insects, 2021
Serine protease inhibitors (Serpins) are a broadly distributed superfamily of proteins that exist in organisms with the role of immune responses. Lmserpin1 gene was cloned firstly from Locusta migratoria manilensis and then was detected in all tested ...
