The loss of the urea cycle and ornithine metabolism in different insect orders: An omics approach
Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 34, Issue 5, Page 632-644, October 2025.Among urea cycle enzymes, only the nitric oxide synthase gene is universally present across insect genomes. All Hemiptera species lack the enzymes needed to convert citrulline to arginine, and some also lack the pathway from arginine to ornithine. Putrescine and spermidine synthesis is conserved in all insects, but aphids lack the capability to produce

European Journal of Entomology, 2010 In the present study the hypothesis that there is a feedback between juvenile hormone and adipokinetic hormones (AKHs) was investigated by topical application of the juvenoid methoprene on 9-day-old adult males of the firebug Pyrrhocoris apterus.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 2, Page 360-370, February 2025.Our findings suggest that mowing in general has a negative impact on abundant arthropod groups in grassland, regardless of the method used. Tractor‐driven double‐blade bar mowers do not seem to be a truly insect‐friendly alternative to a conventional disc mower.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 9, Issue 23, Page 13450-13467, December 2019., 2019 In this study, we assessed the effects of environment, colony, and individual differences on abdominal bacterial communities in the ant Temnothorax nylanderi. Most interestingly, we discovered colony‐specific abdominal microbiomes in this ant, which suggests a role of host genetics, the social environment, or both in shaping the abdominal community. On

Natural selection on plant resistance to herbivores in the native and introduced range [PDF]
, 2015 . When plants are introduced into new regions, the absence of their co-evolved natural enemies can result in lower levels of attack. As a consequence of this reduction in enemy pressure, plant performance may increase and selection for resistance to ...

International Journal of Forestry Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.The African baobab (Adansonia digitata L.) is a priority Pan‐African tree species. Insect pests that are associated with and damage domesticated baobab are largely unknown in the production areas of baobab. To identify and document insect pests associated with domesticated African baobab for the first time, mature and young domesticated baobab plants ...

Chromosome complement and meiosis in three species of the Neotropical bug genus Antiteuchus (Heteroptera, Pentatomidae, Discocephalinae) [PDF]
, 2006 Orcein staining of spermatocytes was used to study the meiotic behavior of holocentric chromosomes in three member of the genus Antiteuchus (commonly known as stink bugs). We describe and illustrate the karyotype of Antiteuchus mixtus, A. sepulcralis and
