Molecular basis of the remarkable species selectivity of an insecticidal sodium channel toxin from the African spider Augacephalus ezendami [PDF]
, 2016 The inexorable decline in the armament of registered chemical insecticides has stimulated research into environmentally-friendly alternatives. Insecticidal spider-venom peptides are promising candidates for bioinsecticide development but it is ...

Silver gull carcasses host unique carrion insect communities on a nearshore island
Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2025.Abstract Island ecosystems offer unique opportunities to study the dynamics of species that rely on ephemeral resources such as carrion. This study investigated the necrophagous insect communities associated with carrion of silver gulls (Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae) on a small nearshore island off the east coast of Australia, to assess how ...

Comparative genomics of the sheep blow fly Lucilia cuprina [PDF]
, 2016 poster abstractInsects employ different adaptive strategies in response to selective pressures, such as competition for limited resources. Carrion insects provide the ideal case to study these fundamental processes of adaptive evolution due to the ...

A Thermostable Bacterial Metallohydrolase that Degrades Organophosphate Plasticizers
ChemBioChem, Volume 26, Issue 11, June 3, 2025.This bacterial enzyme, cyclase‐phosphotriesterase (C‐PTE) from Ruegeria pomeroyi DSS‐3, shows significant potential for breaking down organophosphate pollutants. Beyond its capability to hydrolyze specific plasticizers such as triphenyl phosphate and tris(2‐chloropropyl) phosphate, C‐PTE's crystal structure reveals a binuclear zinc active site, and it ...

Distribution of Ammonia in Larvæ of Lucilia cuprina [PDF]
Nature, 1940 IT has been established that sterile larvae of Lucilia sericata excrete the bulk of their nitrogen in the form of ammonia1,2. Similar studies with larvae of the Australian sheep blowfly, L. cuprina, support these findings. When reared on a medium composed of yeast, egg white and sodium chloride3 the ammonia excretion per 100 larvae increased after ...
