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

Genome of Rhodnius prolixus, an insect vector of Chagas disease, reveals unique adaptations to hematophagy and parasite infection [PDF]
Rhodnius prolixus not only has served as a model organism for the study of insect physiology, but also is a major vector of Chagas disease, an illness that affects approximately seven million people worldwide. We sequenced the genome of R.

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.

Karyotype of Rhodnius montenegrensis (Hemiptera, Triatominae)
The Triatominae subfamily comprises 6 tribes. The tribe Rhodniini comprises 2 genera and 22 nominal species. Rhodnius montenegrensis (Hemiptera, Triatominae) was recently described as evolutionarily related to R. robustus. Therefore, in order to contribute to karyosystematic study of the tribe Rhodniini, this report describes the number of chromosomes ...

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

Insight into mosquito GnRH-related neuropeptide receptor specificity revealed through analysis of naturally occurring and synthetic analogs of this neuropeptide family [PDF]
Adipokinetic hormone (AKH), corazonin (CRZ), and the AKH/CRZ-related peptide (ACP) are neuropeptides considered homologous to the vertebrate gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH).
