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]
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
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]
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
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.

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]
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,

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]
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.
