The emergence of resistance to the benzimidazole anthlemintics in parasitic nematodes of livestock is characterised by multiple independent hard and soft selective sweeps [PDF]
, 2015 Anthelmintic resistance is a major problem for the control of parasitic nematodes of livestock and of growing concern for human parasite control. However, there is little understanding of how resistance arises and spreads or of the “genetic signature” of

Lucifensins, the Insect Defensins of Biomedical Importance: The Story behind Maggot Therapy
Pharmaceuticals, 2014 Defensins are the most widespread antimicrobial peptides characterised in insects. These cyclic peptides, 4–6 kDa in size, are folded into α-helical/β-sheet mixed structures and have a common conserved motif of three intramolecular disulfide bridges with

How is sex determined in insects? Preface. [PDF]
, 2010 insects provide vivid examples of an astonishing diversity of primary signals of sex determination that not only vary between species but even within species, in contrast to terminal genes which are conserved across taxa.

Costs and benefits of multiple resistance to insecticides for mosquitoes [PDF]
, 2008 International audienceThe evolutionary dynamics of xenobiotic resistance depends on how resistance mutations influence the fitness of their bearers, both in the presence and absence of xenobiotic selection pressure. In cases of multiple resistance, these

A silicon implementation of the fly's optomotor control system [PDF]
, 2000 Flies are capable of stabilizing their body during free flight by using visual motion information to estimate self-rotation. We have built a hardware model of this optomotor control system in a standard CMOS VLSI process. The result is a small, low-power
