Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Skeletal muscles are the largest cells in the body and are one of the few syncytial ones. There is a longstanding belief that a given nucleus controls a defined volume of cytoplasm, so when a muscle grows (hypertrophy) or shrinks (atrophy), the number of

AM fungal colonization minimizes disease damage on tomato during later life stages while delaying fruit development [PDF]
, 2020 Beneficial soil microbes, such as arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, can help prepare plants for defense through a mechanism known as priming. Two of the most important unresolved questions in the field of AM fungal-mediated plant defense are (1) whether

Effects of Aspen Phenolic Glycosides on Gypsy Moth (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) Susceptibility to \u3ci\u3eBacillus Thuringiensis\u3c/i\u3e [PDF]
, 2017 Performance of the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar, on quaking aspen, Populus tremuloides, is strongly affected by foliar concentrations of phenolic glycosides.

Elastic proteins in the flight muscle of Manduca sexta [PDF]
Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2015 The flight muscles (DLM1) of the Hawkmoth, Manduca sexta are synchronous, requiring a neural spike for each contraction. Stress/strain curves of skinned DLM1 showed hysteresis indicating the presence of titin-like elastic proteins. Projectin and kettin are titin-like proteins previously identified in Lethocerus and Drosophila flight muscles.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.This study integrates thermal performance curves with species distribution modeling to assess how climate‐driven temperature changes affect feeding efficiency across freshwater, marine, and terrestrial species. By mapping thermal habitat suitability and projected feeding‐rate shifts, we develop a priority ranking framework to identify species and ...

Optical coherence tomography:age estimation of Calliphora vicina pupae in vivo? [PDF]
, 2014 Necrophagous blowfly pupae are valuable contributors to the estimation of post-mortem interval, should an accurate age estimate be obtained. At present, this is reliant on a combination of rearing and destructive methods conducted on preserved samples ...

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT The black soldier fly (BSF; Hermetia illucens) is rapidly emerging as a model for evolutionary biology and insect biotechnology. Although larval biology has been extensively characterised, the reproductive biology of adults remains comparatively understudied.

Spatial Representation of Feeding and Oviposition Odors in the Brain of a Hawkmoth
Cell Reports, 2018 Summary: Female hawkmoths, Manduca sexta, use olfactory cues to locate nectar sources and oviposition sites. We investigated if the behavioral significance of odorants is represented already in the antennal lobe, the first olfactory neuropil of the ...

Re-evaluation of Manduca blackburni (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) [PDF]
, 1986 It is shown that Manduca blackburni is a species in its own right as originally described by Butler. It is related to M. quinquemaculata as well as M. sexta, a fact which escaped workers after Kirby (1892)

Fully Tunable Phosphorylation of RPS6A Ensures the Successful Development of Arabidopsis Seedlings
Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 2783-2794, May 2026.ABSTRACT Light enhances protein translation, enabling young seedlings to rapidly and timely acquire photosynthetic capacities. Sequential phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6 (RPS6) was implicated in the light‐enhanced translation; however, the exact phosphorylation sites and the biological relevance of RPS6 multi‐phosphorylation in seedling ...
