Endocrine remodelling of the adult intestine sustains reproduction in Drosophila. [PDF]
, 2015 The production of offspring is energetically costly and relies on incompletely understood mechanisms that generate a positive energy balance. In mothers of many species, changes in key energy-associated internal organs are common yet poorly characterised

Susceptibility of stored grain insects to the insect growth regulator methoprene
Julius-Kühn-Archiv, 2018 The insect growth regulator (IGR) methoprene is labeled in the United States (US) for direct application to stored grain commodities, and as a residual surface treatment to empty grain bins and flooring surfaces inside indoor structures.

Microbiota Composition Associates With Mosquito Productivity Outcomes in Belowground Larval Habitats. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Vector mosquitoes are well‐adapted to habitats in urban areas, including belowground infrastructure such as stormwater systems. As a major source of larval habitat in population centers, control of larval populations in stormwater catch basins is an important tool for control of vector‐borne disease.

Four-way regulation of mosquito yolk protein precursor genes by juvenile hormone-, ecdysone-, nutrient-, and insulin-like peptide signaling pathways. [PDF]
, 2014 Anautogenous mosquito females require a meal of vertebrate blood in order to initiate the production of yolk protein precursors by the fat body. Yolk protein precursor gene expression is tightly repressed in a state-of-arrest before blood meal-related ...

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2007 A brief overview is presented of the discovery and development of s-methoprene and some other juvenile hormone mimics. The identification of the natural juvenile hormones is described along with an outline of the part they play in the hormonal control of insect development.

Molecules, 2005 Methoprene, an insect growth regulator, was complexed with β-cyclodextrin, yielding a stable inclusion complex. TGA, X-ray powder diffraction and conformational analysis have been used to confirm the nature of this inclusion complex.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Termites are “social cockroaches” and amongst the most phenotypically plastic insects. The different castes (i.e., two types of reproductives, workers, and soldiers) within termite societies are all encoded by a single genome and present the result of ...

Ligand-binding properties of a juvenile hormone receptor, Methoprene-tolerant [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011 Juvenile hormone (JH) is a sesquiterpenoid of vital importance for insect development, yet the molecular basis of JH signaling remains obscure, mainly because a bona fide JH receptor has not been identified. Mounting evidence points to the basic helix–loop–helix (bHLH)/Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) domain protein Methoprene-tolerant (Met) as the best JH receptor ...
