Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in cotton: vertical distribution of egg masses, effects of adult density and plant age on oviposition behavior

Arquivos do Instituto Biológico
The objective of this work was to determine the most suitable density of adults per plant, ideal plant age, and vertical distribution of eggs in different parts of the plant in a greenhouse investigation for future resistance studies and improvement of S.

A Smelly Conflict: The Role of Olfactory Information in the Interaction of Insect Herbivores and Their Natural Enemies

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Insect herbivores rely on olfactory cues to locate natural‐enemy‐free spaces for feeding or ovipositing; conversely, natural enemies detect herbivores by chemical cues from damaged plants or from the herbivores themselves. Based on the reviewed findings, we suggest that herbivores and natural enemies converge towards using specific olfactory cues. This

Conserved dimerization architecture in C‐type lectins from virus‐vector mosquitoes

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
C‐type lectins (CTLs) are involved in the detection of viral/microbial carbohydrates. We studied a family of soluble CTLs in the mosquito Aedes aegypti, which acts as a vector for viruses like dengue and Zika. Using crystallography, biophysics, and structure prediction approaches, we found that these proteins consistently pair together in the same ...

From biology to biotechnology: Host‐regulation factors from parasitoid wasps are a source of bioactive molecules with translational potential

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

RNA activation in insects: From emerging evidence to molecular applications

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Canonical RNA activation involves small RNAs interacting with promoter sequences, but there is also evidence of non‐canonical RNAa in eukaryotes. Emerging evidence suggests the presence of RNAa in insects. RNAa can be utilised as a tool for functional genomic studies in insects.

An Updated Review of the Opportunities and Challenges in Insects as Food and Feed

Nutrition Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global demand for sustainable protein sources is increasing in response to population growth, climate change and food insecurity. Edible insects are a promising alternative, offering nutritional, environmental and socio‐economic advantages.

Diets for in vivo inoculation of Spodoptera frugiperda multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (SfMNPV) (Lefavirales: Baculoviridae)

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences
The Spodoptera frugiperda multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (SfMNPV) has been studied and applied in controlling the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda. This pest serves as the primary host for in vivo replication of this biological control agent.
