Direct Selection of Functional De Novo Macrocycles for Activation of On‐Cellulo Insulin Receptor

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A live‐cell screening platform, RaPID‐ExCells, integrates mRNA display‐derived macrocyclic peptide libraries with functional selection against native cell‐surface receptors. Application to the insulin receptor enabled de novo discovery of a macrocyclic agonist that activates endogenous signaling despite weak in vitro binding, highlighting the power of ...

Consumption and handling time of Euborellia annulipes and Marava arachidis (Dermaptera: Anisolabididae) on Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Spodoptera frugiperda is one of the pests that causes the most damage to corn, with chemical control being the main method. However, the increase in cases of resistance emphasizes the need for alternative methods, such to the biological control.

Predator-Induced Vertical Behavior of a Ctenophore [PDF]

, 2012
Although many studies have focused on Mnemiopsis leidyi predation, little is known about the role of this ctenophore as prey when abundant in native and invaded pelagic systems. We examined the response of the ctenophore M.

Overcoming the phantoms of the past: Influence of predatory stimuli on the antipredator behavior of island pitvipers.

PLoS ONE, 2023
The reduction of predation is a potentially important factor for the evolution of the traits of an island animal species. By relaxed selection, insular animals tend to lose their antipredator behaviors.

The effect of interaguild predation on avoidance behavior of the aphidophagous midge, Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Dip.: Cecidomyiidae) on its encounter with the predatory bug Orius laevigatus (Het.: Anthocoridae) [PDF]

نامه انجمن حشره‌شناسی ایران, 2013
The predatory bug, Orius laevigatus (Fibber), and the predatory midge, Aphidoletes aphidimyza Rondani, belong to an aphidophagous guild, feeding on the cotton aphid Aphis gossypii Glover.

Predator avoidance in extremophile fish [PDF]

, 2013
Extreme habitats are often characterized by reduced predation pressures, thus representing refuges for the inhabiting species. The present study was designed to investigate predator avoidance of extremophile populations of Poecilia mexicana and P ...

Effects of bean seed treatment by the entomopathogenic fungi Metarhizium robertsii and Beauveria bassiana on plant growth, spider mite populations and behavior of predatory mites

Biological control (Print), 2019
The fungal genera Metarhizium and Beauveria are considered as both entomopathogens and endophytes; they are able to colonize a wide variety of plants and can cause increased plant growth and protect plants against pests.

Jumping spider invades an orb web to prey on a resident male

Ecosphere, 2023
While surveying operational sex ratios of the giant golden orb weaver Nephila pilipes (Fabricius, 1793) in Singapore, we documented a stunning case of predatory behavior of a jumping spider Viciria pavesii Thorell, 1877. A female V.
