Temperature elevation broadens the dietary niche of an insect herbivore
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.The realised dietary niche in Chrysomela lapponica was the narrowest at 10°C, whereas higher temperatures (15–25°C) broadened the dietary niche by increasing preference for and survival on suboptimal host plants. Elevated temperature broadened the realised dietary niche through both direct effects on beetles and indirect effects mediated by temperature‐

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

eLife, 2015 Floral scents and nectar attract both pollinators and other animals that may reduce the plant's fitness, and therefore put flowering plants in a challenging situation.

Sugars as Central Integrators of Plant Immunity and Stress Responses
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sugars are fundamental metabolites that sustain plant growth and development, but accumulating evidence demonstrates that they also function as regulatory hubs in plant defence. In this review, we synthesise current knowledge on how carbohydrate dynamics coordinate metabolism, signalling, and structural responses to shape plant resistance ...

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.

Defecation in preparation for ecdysis drives microplastic clearance in cricket nymphs
Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.In preparation for ecdysis, cricket nymphs cease feeding and gradually clear their gut contents via frass production, which removes most ingested MPs from their digestive tract. Following exoskeletal moulting, the foregut lining, including any remaining MPs, is shed and excreted alongside frass approximately 6 h later.

Paving the Way for Plant‐Based Bioproduction of (Z)‐13‐Octadecenoic Moth Pheromone Compounds
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 10, Page 5554-5569, October 2026.ABSTRACT Sex pheromones are eco‐friendly agents to control pest insects. Yet, the cost of synthetic pheromone production has restricted their use essentially to high value crops. Plant‐based bioproduction of pheromone compounds offers a promising and sustainable alternative, opening up for the deployment of pheromone‐mediated pest control also in row ...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Alimentary Tract Development in Manduca sexta. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Non-invasive 3D magnetic resonance imaging techniques were used to investigate metamorphosis of the alimentary tract of Manduca sexta from the larval to the adult stage. The larval midgut contracts in volume immediately following cessation of feeding and
