Oxytocin signaling in the medial amygdala is required for sex discrimination of social cues

eLife, 2017
The neural control of social behaviors in rodents requires the encoding of pheromonal cues by the vomeronasal system. Here we show that the typical preference of male mice for females is eliminated in mutants lacking oxytocin, a neuropeptide modulating ...

Silencing of juvenile hormone‐related genes through RNA interference leads to molt failure and high mortality in the spongy moth

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The feasibility of using RNA interference to control the globally important quarantine pest, the spongy moth. Targeting genes related to JHs play an important role in the growth and development of insects. First, the open reading frames (ORFs) of Ldjhamt and Ldjheh were identified and characterized, and the target genes were cloned and double‐stranded ...

Oviposition behaviour of Phlebotomus argentipes - A laboratory-based study

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2013
The breeding habitat of sandflies is a little studied and poorly understood phenomenon. More importantly, oviposition behaviour is a largely neglected aspect of sandfly biology and this knowledge gap further undermines our understanding of the biology of

Offspring performance does not explain oviposition preference in the leafminer Stigmella sorbi (Lepidoptera: Nepticulidae): a tri‐trophic perspective

Insect Science, EarlyView.
We studied oviposition site selection in a leaf‐mining moth (Stigmella sorbi) on rowan trees (Sorbus aucuparia) in northwestern Russia, assessing larval performance across different shoot types, leaf positions, and leaflets. Larval survival was highest on long vegetative shoots, yet females showed no preference for these optimal sites.

Exploitation of kairomones and synomones by Medetera spp. (Diptera: Dolichopodidae), predators of spruce bark beetles

European Journal of Entomology, 2005
The semiochemical relationships in a predator-prey-host plant system were studied by a series of multiple-choice field assays. The studied system included predatory flies of the genus Medetera (Diptera: Dolichopodidae), the bark beetles Ips typographus ...

Chromosome‐scale genome assembly of the South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus sp.1

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1 is a major fruit fly pest in Argentina, currently controlled through chemical treatments and traps. This study aims to enhance the genomic understanding of this species to support the development of sterile insect technique as well as the use of innovative technologies.

Brood parasitism reduces but does not prevent Bombus terrestris reproductive success

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Graphical depiction of the colony splitting process. Throughout figures in this paper, results pertaining to host success are represented in blue, and cuckoo success is represented in red. Abstract Cuckoo bumblebees are obligate brood parasites that must invade a colony of their host bumblebee species in order to reproduce.
