Gonadulin and Insulin‐Like Growth Factor Involved in Rhipicephalus microplus Reproduction
Insulin‐like growth factor (IGF2) in ovaries of Rhipicephalus microplus partially engorged females. Ovaries from females at different feeding stages were used to detect IGF2. ABSTRACT Gonadulin and insulin‐like growth factor (IGF) are neuropeptides synthesized by the central nervous system (CNS) of arthropods.

Evidence for the Stability Selection Mechanism in a Live Predator–Prey System
We demonstrate that the stability properties of a predator–prey pair vary with prey genetics and that the loss of unstable predator–prey pairs in subpopulations from the overall population can lead to trait evolution in the aggregate population. Our results indicate that community‐level processes such as predator–prey interactions can generate eco ...

Heteromeric cis‐prenyltransferases (CPT) are indispensable for dolichol synthesis and protein N‐glycosylation in most eukaryotes. The catalytic subunits are strongly conserved throughout evolution, in contrast to the evolutionarily variable accessory subunits. The POC1 protein from Paramecium tetraurelia is the smallest identified CPT‐accessory subunit
