The cryptonephridial/rectal complex: an evolutionary adaptation for water and ion conservation
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 2, Page 647-671, April 2025.ABSTRACT Arthropods have integrated digestive and renal systems, which function to acquire and maintain homeostatically the substances they require for survival. The cryptonephridial complex (CNC) is an evolutionary novelty in which the renal organs and gut have been dramatically reorganised. Parts of the renal or Malpighian tubules (MpTs) form a close

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 14-21, March 2025.A servosphere was used to record the speed, directionality and phototaxis of individual post‐feeding larvae of two species of blow fly (Diptera: Calliphoridae) on a smooth plastic surface over time. The servosphere rotates to compensate for the movement of an insect placed at its apex, thereby facilitating its unimpeded locomotion in any direction and ...

The neuropeptidome of Rhodnius prolixus brain
PROTEOMICS, 2009 AbstractWe show a sensitive and straightforward off‐line nano‐LC‐MALDI‐MS/MS workflow that allowed the first comprehensive neuropeptidomic analysis of an insect disease vector. This approach was applied to identify neuropeptides in the brain of Rhodnius prolixus, a vector of Chagas disease.
