Thermogenesis‐derived spatiotemporal microclimates guide pollinator movement to ensure pollination
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.Alocasia odora's microclimatic heterogeneity guides Colocasiomyia fly movement within its inflorescence. During the female stage, midday heat in the upper spadix pushes flies down to the cooler female zone. During the male stage, nocturnal warmth in the upper part pulls flies upward and spathe constriction closes the lower female chamber.

Morphological notes on the mouthparts of decapod crustacean larvae, with emphasis on palinurid phyllosomas [PDF]
Some topics in the morphological study of mouthparts of decapod larvae, consisting of labrum, mandible, paragnath （= labium） and maxillule, are briefly reviewed. The morphological features of larval mouthparts are compared topographically in main decapod

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Striped stem borer (SSB; Chilo suppressalis Walker) is one of the most destructive pests in rice production. Previous studies have demonstrated that SSB infestation induces transcription of OsT5H (tryptamine‐5‐hydroxylase) and biosynthesis of serotonin, a newly recognised phytohormone, and that disruption of serotonin biosynthesis ...

Adaptation of the mouthparts in some subterranean Cholevinae (Coleoptera, Leiodidae) [PDF]
, 2004 Holevine su skupina kornjaša s mnogo podzemnih predstavnika koji su pretežno detritivorni ili saprofagni. Neke vrste pokazuju modifikacije usnih organa zbog svoje prehrambene niše, prilagođavajući se poluakvatičkom načinu života, ili zbog stupnja ...

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018 Chemoreception in insects is mediated by several components interacting at different levels and including odorant-binding proteins (OBPs). Although recent studies demonstrate that the function of OBPs cannot be restricted to an exclusively olfactory role,

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

Defecation in preparation for ecdysis drives microplastic clearance in cricket nymphs
Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.In preparation for ecdysis, cricket nymphs cease feeding and gradually clear their gut contents via frass production, which removes most ingested MPs from their digestive tract. Following exoskeletal moulting, the foregut lining, including any remaining MPs, is shed and excreted alongside frass approximately 6 h later.

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.The greenhouse thrips, Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis (Bouché, 1833), is an important avocado pest in New Zealand, where repeated infestations reduce leaf quality and tree vigour. To assess biological control stability under different predator assemblages, this study evaluated thrips population dynamics and predator survival across two sequential phases ...
