Primary molt in Gruiforms and simpler molt summary tables

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
Molt summary tables reveal the sequence and mode of flight-feather replacement and how these feathers are divided into independent replacement series. Tables for summarizing molt are relatively new, and the rules for generating them were first formally illustrated using data from a temperate passerine.

MicroRNA let-7 regulates the expression of ecdysteroid receptor (ECR) in Hyalomma asiaticum (Acari: Ixodidae) ticks

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Ticks are blood-sucking arthropods that can transmit diseases to humans and animals. These arthropods are the second most important vectors of pathogens.

Functional Characterization of the Nuclear Receptor Gene SaE75 in the Grain Aphid, Sitobion avenae

open access: yesInsects, 2023
Ecdysteroid hormones are key regulators of insect development and metamorphosis. Ecdysone-inducible E75, a major component of insect ecdysone signaling pathway, has been well characterized in holometabolous insects, however, barely in hemimetabolous ...

Optimizing Soft-Shell Crab Production: Enhancing Molting Efficiency with Mulberry Leaf Extract via Immersion [PDF]

open access: yesBIO Web of Conferences
Soft-shell crab production often faces challenges such as low molting rates and decreased product quality due to mutilation methods. Herbal alternatives have shown potential to improve molting and crab quality, although they are generally administered ...

Characterization of Molting Process during the Different Developmental Stages of the Diamondback Moth Plutella xylostella

open access: yesInsects, 2022
The molting process of the lepidopteran insects is observed for many species. However, the detailed description of the morphological transformation and behavioral sequence during molting are rarely provided and visualized.

Discovery of an Adaptive Neuroimmune Response Driving Itch and Fast Tick Removal with Implications for Preventing Pathogen Transmission

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Itch‐induced tick removal (IITR): An acquired neuroimmune mechanism, itch‐induced tick removal, develops after repeated tick exposure, mobilizing T cells and macrophages at the tick bite site to trigger a rapid scratching response that facilitates timely tick removal within a critical window that preces the transmission of many tick‐borne pathogens ...

The effects of alternative forced-molting methods on the performance and egg quality of commercial layers

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Poultry Science, 2009
This study aimed at studying alternative methods to induce molting and to compare them with the conventional forced-molting method (fasting). In the experiment, 420 70-week-old layers were used. The total experimental period was 140 days.
