Pollinator risks and recovery from air pollutant interactions during the fossil‐fuel transition

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
By altering the composition and concentration of floral scents, air pollutants such as ozone (O3) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) disrupt the ability of insect pollinators to locate flowers, threatening biodiversity and crop production. We examine the impact of these pollutants on pollinator performance and evaluate the short‐ and long‐term consequences of ...

A flight sensory-motor to olfactory processing circuit in the moth Manduca sexta

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2016
Neural circuits projecting information from motor pathways to sensory pathways are common across sensory domains. These circuits typically modify sensory function as a result of motor pattern activation; this is particularly so in cases where the ...

Calcitonin‐like diuretic hormone influences reproduction in adult female Rhodnius prolixus

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Highlights • CT/DH‐like immunoreactivity is present in female reproductive tissues • CT/DH receptor transcripts are expressed in the fat body and ovaries • RNAi knockdown of CT/DH receptors reduces egg number and hatching rate • Rhopr‐CT/DH increases RhoprVg1 and RhoprVgR expression in ovaries in vitro • Rhopr‐CT/DH stimulates oviduct contractions in a

How scent and nectar influence floral antagonists and mutualists

eLife, 2015
Many plants attract and reward pollinators with floral scents and nectar, respectively, but these traits can also incur fitness costs as they also attract herbivores.

A Smelly Conflict: The Role of Olfactory Information in the Interaction of Insect Herbivores and Their Natural Enemies

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Insect herbivores rely on olfactory cues to locate natural‐enemy‐free spaces for feeding or ovipositing; conversely, natural enemies detect herbivores by chemical cues from damaged plants or from the herbivores themselves. Based on the reviewed findings, we suggest that herbivores and natural enemies converge towards using specific olfactory cues. This

TcFur1, a furin 1 ortholog in Tribolium castaneum, regulates reproduction and carbohydrate metabolism without affecting lipid homeostasis

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
TcFur1, a furin 1 ortholog in Tribolium castaneum, is highly expressed in pupae and declines in adults. TcFur1 knockdown reduces oviposition but does not alter triacylglycerol levels or total lipase activity. TcFur1 knockdown increases circulating trehalose and decreases expression of insulin‐like peptides and the AKH receptor.

Evaluating Bottom‐Up Effects of Cruciferous Cultivars to Optimise Mass‐Rearing and Fitness of the Parasitoid Diadegma insulare

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Plutellidae: Lepidoptera), is one of the major pests of cruciferous vegetables. To control this notorious pest, the caterpillar parasitoid Diadegma insulare (Cresson) (Ichneumonidae: Hymenoptera) is the most used biocontrol agent. Efficient mass‐rearing of D.

Prefazione a Jean-Paul Marat, Teoria dell'insurrezione, a cura di Raffaele, Manduca; Placido, Currò

, 2016
Il sangue e la violenza hanno costituito, per molti, il naturale paradigma della grande rivoluzione, l’orizzonte di significato entro cui collocare le traiettorie giacobine e sanculotte dei suoi uomini più noti.

Stress and Health Disparities in Multiracial Families: The Differential Impact of Emotional and Financial Family Support on Perceived and Physiological Stress

Journal of Marriage and Family, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The current paper examines the relationship between the racial composition of parent dyads and stress, with family support as a potential mediator. Background Multiracial families have increased dramatically in the United States over the last several decades.

The hysteria in The Flesh, of Julio Ribeiro

Estudos Interdisciplinares em Psicologia, 2012
This paper analyzes the novel The flesh of Julio Ribeiro, from the perspective of freudian psychoanalysis. The book, a naturalistic novel published in 1888, criticizes the formation of gender roles in nineteenth-century culture and anticipates ...
