SYNCAS‐mediated CRISPR‐Cas9 genome editing in the Jewel wasp, Nasonia vitripennis

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 48-55, February 2026.
Maternal injection of Cas9 RNP together with BAPC and saponins (SYNCAS) results in efficient gene editing of Nasonia vitripennis offspring. The timing of injection and egg collection is important for maximising efficiency and reducing screening effort.

Successional and native forests predict the occurrence and infection status of Chagas disease vectors in Panama

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Findings here show that successional forest predicts greater kissing bug infestation risk in palm trees, whereas native forest predicts lower kissing bug occurrence but greater infection with T. cruzi. These insights can guide land use planning towards vegetation management practices that help minimize T. cruzi transmission risks for rural communities.

Comparison of hemocytes of 5th-instar nymphs of Rhodnius prolixus (Stal) and Rhodnius robustus (Larousse 1927), before and after molting

Revista de la Facultad de Medicina, 2015
Background. The immune response of insects involves humoral factors and cellular elements known as hemocytes. There are different reports that explore the response of hemocytes to infections, but the effect that molting has on this response has not been

Nutritional geometry provides insight into the dual roles of natural and sexual selection in insect cuticular hydrocarbon evolution

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3646-3658, December 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Interactions between natural and sexual selection have been integral to the development of sexual selection theory, yet the role of natural selection in sexual trait evolution has received far less empirical attention than the role of sexual selection, and the extent to

Effects of the alarm pheromone on Triatoma pallidipennis behaviour

Physiological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 374-387, December 2025.
T. pallidipennis performs behavioural acts in response to volatiles emitted by mechanically disturbed conspecifics. T. pallidipennis shows a repellent response when exposed to volatiles emitted by mechanically disturbed conspecifics. Isobutyric and propanoic acids can be used as repellents of T. pallidipennis. Abstract Adults of some Triatomine species,

Characterization of Triacylglycerol Dynamics and Lipid Metabolism in the Beetle Tribolium castaneum

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 120, Issue 3, November 2025.
Tribolium castaneum larvae accumulate triacylglycerol (TAG) during development, while adults rapidly deplete reserves post‐emergence. Under starvation, beetles prioritize protein catabolism over lipid mobilization, despite increased expression of lipolysis genes, revealing stage‐specific metabolic adaptations in this model insect.
