Regulation of the development of flight muscles in long-winged adults of the flightless bug Pyrrhocoris apterus (Heteroptera: Pyrrhocoridae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2008
We studied the development of the indirect flight muscles and reproductive organs in long-winged (macropterous) adults of the flightless bug Pyrrhocoris apterus (L.) and the factors involved in flight muscles histolysis by means of total protein analysis.

Role of Methoprene-tolerant (Met) in adult morphogenesis and in adult ecdysis of Blattella germanica. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Juvenile Hormone (JH) represses metamorphosis of young instars in insects. One of the main players in hormonal signalling is Methoprene-tolerant (Met), which plays the role of JH receptor.

Commodity risk assessment of Cornus alba and Cornus sanguinea plants from the UK

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 3, March 2024.
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2019 as ‘high risk plants, plant products and other objects’. Taking into account the available scientific information, including the technical information provided by ...

A Marker Locus, Adh-1, for Resistance to Pea Enation Mosaic Virus in Pisum sativum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Linkage between Adh-1, the locus specifying the more anoda) isozyme of alcohol dehydrogenase, and En, the locus controlling resistance to pea enation mosaic virus, was investigated in the garden pea, Pisum sativum L.

MAPHIS—Measuring arthropod phenotypes using hierarchical image segmentations

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 1, Page 36-42, January 2024.
Abstract Animal phenotypic traits are utilised in a variety of studies. Often the traits are measured from images. The processing of a large number of images can be challenging; nevertheless, image analytical applications, based on neural networks, can be an effective tool in automatic trait collection.

Common and distinct roles of juvenile hormone signaling genes in metamorphosis of holometabolous and hemimetabolous insects.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Insect larvae metamorphose to winged and reproductive adults either directly (hemimetaboly) or through an intermediary pupal stage (holometaboly). In either case juvenile hormone (JH) prevents metamorphosis until a larva has attained an appropriate phase

Investigation of host-symbiont-parasite interactions using the African cotton stainer insect (Dysdercus fasciatus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Symbiotic associations are ubiquitous in nature and can extend along a dynamic continuum from mutualism to parasitism. In mutualism, the interacting organisms benefit from each other while in parasitism, one partner benefits and the other is harmed. Here,

Adipokinetic Hormones Enhance the Efficacy of the Entomopathogenic Fungus Isaria fumosorosea in Model and Pest Insects

open access: yesPathogens, 2020
Insect adipokinetic hormones (AKHs) are neuropeptides with a wide range of actions, including the control of insect energy metabolism. These hormones are also known to be involved in the insect defence system against toxins and pathogens.

A damping circadian clock drives weak oscillations in metabolism and locomotor activity of aphids (Acyrthosiphon pisum) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Timing seasonal events, like reproduction or diapause, is crucial for the survival of many species. Global change causes phenologies worldwide to shift, which requires a mechanistic explanation of seasonal time measurement.

Karyotypes, male meiosis and comparative FISH mapping of 18S ribosomal DNA and telomeric (TTAGG)n repeat in eight species of true bugs (Hemiptera, Heteroptera)

open access: yesComparative Cytogenetics, 2011
Eight species belonging to five true bug families were analyzed using DAPI/CMA3-staining and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with telomeric (TTAGG)n and 18S rDNA probes.
