Transcriptome Analysis Revealed Genes Related to γ-Irradiation Induced Emergence Failure in Third-Instar Larvae of Bactrocera dorsalis

Insects, 2022
The oriental fruit fly is a polyphagous and highly invasive economically important pest in the world. We proposed the hypothesis that radiation treatment influence RNA expression in the larvae and leads to emergence failure.

Preimaginal development of Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae) in brackish water gives rise to adult mosquitoes with thicker cuticles and greater insecticide resistance

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The principal arboviral vector Aedes aegypti can develop in coastal brackish water field habitats (0.5–15 g/L salt) with larvae possessing thicker cuticles and greater resistance to the larvicide Temephos. Females emerging from brackish water‐developing preimaginal stages are now shown to have thicker and remodelled leg and abdominal cuticles and ...

Odors: from chemical structures to gaseous plumes [PDF]

, 2020
We are immersed within an odorous sea of chemical currents that we parse into individual odors with complex structures. Odors have been posited as determined by the structural relation between the molecules that compose the chemical compounds and their ...

A genealogy of fish women and other imagined identities: “The mechanics of fluids” in Larissa Lai's Salt Fish Girl

Orbis Litterarum, EarlyView.
Abstract Fluidity invigorates a utopian home in Chinese Canadian author Larissa Lai's Salt Fish Girl (2002). In the novel, the fishlike lesbian couple cyclically returns to their aquatic habitat between mortal reincarnations: from last‐century colonial South China to near‐future bio‐capitalistic Canada, where they recurrently experience displacement ...

Impact of Oriental Fruit Fly Postharvest Treatments on Avocado

American Journal of Plant Sciences, 2017
The detection in August 2015 of the Oriental Fruit Fly (Bactrocera dorsalis Hendel, Diptera: Tephritidae) in the Redland area in Miami-Dade County, Florida triggered a quarantine that restricted the movement of fruit fly host material in an approximately 99-square mile (256-square kilometer) area.

Prior Mating Experience Modulates the Dispersal of Drosophila in Males More Than in Females [PDF]

, 2011
Cues from both an animal’s internal physiological state and its local environment may influence its decision to disperse. However, identifying and quantifying the causative factors underlying the initiation of dispersal is difficult in uncontrolled ...

Past research and future directions in understanding how birds use their sense of smell

Ibis, Volume 167, Issue 4, Page 853-881, October 2025.
Our understanding of the functional importance of olfaction to birds has improved over the past 60 years, largely as the result of experimental studies testing how birds use their sense of smell in different contexts. As it is impossible to measure directly which odours birds can detect, we rely on measuring behavioural responses to scent cues or ...

A big phylogenomic tree with bigger taxonomic implications for the world's biggest rove beetles (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Staphylinini, Platydracus‐group)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 1041-1066, October 2025.
The first phylogenomic study of the Platydracus group of rove beetle genera is provided. It targets 1229 loci and 138 taxa with a post‐analysis assessment of morphological characters. This group of 400+ described species is found monophyletic and reclassified into 12 monophyletic genera to give a frame for the badly needed species‐level taxonomy.
