Complete Metamorphosis in Manduca sexta Involves Specific Changes in DNA Methylation Patterns
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The transition between morphologically distinct phenotypes during complete metamorphosis in holometabolous insects is accompanied by fundamental transcriptional reprogramming.

Nature Communications, 2016 Foraging is energetically demanding for animals like hawkmoths that feed while flying. Here, Haverkamp et al. show that Manduca sexta has an innate preference for feeding on species of Nicotianawhose flower corolla length best matches the length of their

Journal of Lipid Research, 1996 Two insect lipoproteins, triacylglycerol-rich Aedes aegypti lipophorin and diacylglycerol-rich Manduca sexta lipophorin, were compared in their ability to load neutral lipid from fat body. When fat body of M.

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 ...

Lipoprotein biosynthesis in the larvae of the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta. [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1986 Lipoprotein biosynthesis in larvae of the tobacco hornworm (Manduca sexta) was investigated. By immunoblotting, it was shown that the apoproteins are present in the fat body, but not in the midgut. Fat body incubated in vitro with [35S]methionine secreted labeled apoproteins.

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

Differences in nicotine metabolism of two Nicotiana attenuata herbivores render them differentially susceptible to a common native predator. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Nicotiana attenuata is attacked by larvae of both specialist (Manduca sexta) and generalist (Spodoptera exigua) lepidopteran herbivores in its native habitat. Nicotine is one of N. attenuata's important defenses. M.

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
