Variation and development of the turtle chondrocranium, with a description of the common musk turtle (Sternotherus odoratus, Kinosternidae, Cryptodira, Testudines)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 7, Page 1994-2037, July 2025.
Abstract Based on histological cross‐sections, the chondrocranium of the common musk turtle (Sternotherus odoratus) was reconstructed, described, and compared with other turtles. It differs from that of other turtle chondrocrania by possessing elongated, slightly dorsally orientated nasal capsules with three dorsolateral foramina, which might be ...

Contribution of awns and hairy glumes in spring wheat to resistance against wheat midge, Sitodiplosis mosellana

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 7, Page 781-793, July 2025.
Wheat morphological traits had no consistent impact on Sitodiplosis mosellana oviposition. Differences in the number of eggs among doubled haploid wheat lines were not associated with the presence (A+) or absence (A−) of awns, or the presence (H+) or absence (H−) of hairs in controlled laboratory experiments and field trials.

Pharmacophagy in insects: Ecological and evolutionary perspectives on the non‐nutritional use of plant specialized metabolites

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 7, Page 661-673, July 2025.
Insects interact with plants not only for nutrition but also to actively seek plant specialized metabolites (PSMs) for chemical defense, reproduction, and self‐medication—a behavior known as pharmacophagy. This review examines how insects across diverse orders acquire PSMs from both food and non‐food plants for non‐nutritional benefits.

Differential gene expression toward species of Aristolochia impairing the performance of the Troidini butterfly Battus polydamas

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 7, Page 696-707, July 2025.
We studied the response of Battus polydamas (Papilionidae) larvae fed on Aristolochia ringens (containing several diterpenes) and Aristolochia gigantea (containing sesquiterpenes and acyclic monoterpenoids but no diterpenoids or aristolochic acids). We assessed larval performance on fitness components such as survival and differential gene expression ...
