Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cooperativity between cytoskeletal proteins is crucial for spatiotemporal coordination in biological processes, like oogenesis. In mammalian and Drosophila oogenesis, proper assembly and function of actin networks require coordination between actin assembly factors Spire and formins, as well as actin‐associated proteins like myosins and Rab ...

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aedes aegypti, a critical vector for tropical diseases, poses significant challenges for studying its embryogenesis due to difficulties in removing its rigid chorion and achieving effective fixation for in situ hybridization. Here, we present novel methodologies for fixation, dechorionation, DAPI staining, and in situ hybridization, enabling ...

A clear-cut difference in nuptial strategies may shape sperm traits in two paper wasps [PDF]
, 2023 Spermatozoa vary in quantity, quality and design across species and individuals. Here, we reported the first detailed analysis of sperm traits in two primitively eusocial paper wasps, Polistes dominula and Polistes gallicus, which differ in their nuptial

Geographic distribution of the neotropical wasp genus Clypearia with conservation notes
Journal of Basic and Applied ZoologyPaper wasps form a group of social insects that play several ecological roles in neotropical ecosystems. The Clypearia genus is made up of eight species, most of which occur in the Amazon region, and is an extremely overlooked genus among the Polistinae.
