Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 917-928, December 2025.Satellite DNAs comprise the major component of the Triatoma rubrofasciata repeatome, highlighting their central role in genome composition and architecture. Satellite DNA families show recent amplification in heterochromatin and older, more divergent satellite DNAs located in euchromatin, indicating distinct evolutionary histories.

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,

Ingestive behaviour and physiology of the medicinal leech [PDF]
, 1988 Ingestion lasts 25 min in Hirudo medicinalis and is characterized by pharyngeal peristalsis which fills the crop. This peristalsis has an initial rate of 2.4 Hz which decays smoothly to 1.2 Hz at termination of ingestion. During ingestion, the leech body

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.

Nondigestive Cell Types in the Midgut Epithelium of Rhodnius Prolixus (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) [PDF]
, 2017 The ultrastructure of regenerative cells and endocrine cells in the midgut epithelium of mated female Rhodnius prolixus is described. Regenerative cells are numerous, found in all midgut regions, and do not contain any of the normal secretory apparatus ...

Allantoin Crystal Formation in Bagrada hilaris (Burmeister) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) Females. [PDF]
, 2017 Bagrada hilaris is a polyphagous herbivore reported as an invasive pest in the United States. During the course of dissecting Burmeister hilaris unique crystals were observed in both the midgut and oviducts.

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1747-1760, October 2025.This study investigates the potential of enhancing the resistance of Glossina palpalis gambiensis to Trypanosoma brucei gambiense to mitigate the transmission of Human African Trypanosomiasis. We successfully cloned genes encoding proteins of interest in Sodalis strains, resulting in recombinant Sodalis (recSodalis) that were micro‐injected into the L3
