A Structural Dynamic Analysis of a Manduca Sexta Forewing [PDF]

, 2010
Micro air vehicles (MAVs) are intended for future intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance use. To adequately fulfill a clandestine capacity, MAVs must operate in close proximity to their intended target without eliciting counter-observation.

Isolation and maintenance-free culture of contractile myotubes from Manduca sexta embryos.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Skeletal muscle tissue engineering has the potential to treat tissue loss and degenerative diseases. However, these systems are also applicable for a variety of devices where actuation is needed, such as microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and robotics.

Natural history of interaction between Meteorus sp. Haliday, 1835 (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) and its hyperparasitoid Toxeumella albipes Girault, 1913 (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae)

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Some parasitoids build a cocoon mass that hangs in the host body until the adults emergence, which is an advantage against attack by predators who troll the vegetation in search of prey.

A characterization of the Manduca sexta serotonin receptors in the context of olfactory neuromodulation.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Neuromodulation, the alteration of individual neuron response properties, has dramatic consequences for neural network function and is a phenomenon observed across all brain regions and taxa.

Behavioral responses of adult female tobacco hornworms, Manduca sexta, to hostplant volatiles change with age and mating status

Journal of Insect Science, 2002
We present evidence for two behaviors influenced by intact, vegetative plant odor -- upwind flight and abdomen curling -- in female Manduca sexta and demonstrate the influence of the age and mating status of the moths on these behaviors.

Effects of Manduca diuresin on neonates of the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta

, 2000
Manduca diuresin (MD), a 30 amino acid peptide, was isolated and identified from the type IIb median neurosecretory cells in the brain of adult Manduca sexta (Blackburn et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 181, 927-932, 1991).

The Effects of Iridoid Glycoside Plants on Manduca sexta

, 2018
The study that we conducted investigates how well Manduca sexta will survive off iridoid glycoside(IG) containing plants. We intially believed that Manduca sexta would adapt better to a diet that composed of the artificial diet.

Developmental studies on Malpighian tubule structure and function in Spodoptera Littoralis [PDF]

, 1993
A study has been made on Malpighian tubule structure and function in Spodoptera littoralis. The concentrations of the main ions present in insect haemolymph were determined and a Ringer solution developed on the basis of this information.
