We examined the degree of sexual size dimorphism (SSD), based on body length, in approximately 45% of known water bug (Nepomorpha) species.

Queenless minor workers diminish sugar intake and extend their lifespan. The expression of TO and MRJP1 notably escalated in minor workers with queen loss. Gene TO may trigger pathways in the biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids and autophagy. TO and MRJP1 may jointly participate in the synthesis of MRJPs and contribute to the life extension of ...
