Sugar Feeding in Adult Stable Flies [PDF]
Environmental Entomology, 2008 Adult stable flies (Stomoxys calcitrans L.) are known to feed readily on sugars in the laboratory. However, little is known concerning the extent of stable fly sugar feeding in wild populations. We examined the frequency of sugar feeding in stable flies collected on Alsynite sticky traps in rural and urban environments.

A sucrose-specific receptor in Bemisia tabaci and its putative role in phloem feeding
iScience, 2023 Summary: In insects, specialized feeding on the phloem sap (containing mainly the sugar sucrose) has evolved only in some hemipteran lineages. This feeding behavior requires an ability to locate feeding sites buried deeply within the plant tissue.

Supplemental Sugar Is Required for Sex Pheromone Biosynthesis in Mythimna separata
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Supplemental nutrients of adult moths maximize moth fitness and contribute to the pollination of many plants. Previous reports have revealed that sugar feeding promotes to sex pheromone biosynthesis by increasing the haemolymph trehalose concentration in

Adaptive sugar sensors in hypothalamic feeding circuits [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2008 Brain glucose sensing is critical for healthy energy balance, but how appropriate neurocircuits encode both small changes and large background values of glucose levels is unknown. Here, we report several features of hypothalamic orexin neurons, cells essential for normal wakefulness and feeding: ( i ) A distinct ...

Natural plant sugar sources of Anopheles mosquitoes strongly impact malaria transmission potential. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 An improved knowledge of mosquito life history could strengthen malaria vector control efforts that primarily focus on killing mosquitoes indoors using insecticide treated nets and indoor residual spraying.

Feeding Adult Mosquitoes on Solid Sugars [PDF]
Nature, 1963 THAT mosquitoes may feed on flowers and sources of food other than blood has been observed many times. Notable among these observations are those of Wesenberg-Lund1, Haeger2, West and Jenkins3, and Sandholm and Price4. Mosquitoes which visit flowers in greatest numbers are various species of Aedes.

Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Background Sugar feeding is a fundamental behaviour of many mosquito species. For Aedes albopictus, an important vector of dengue virus and chikungunya virus, little is known about its sugar-feeding behaviour, and no studies have been conducted on this ...

Electronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2017 Background: Fermentation process development has been very important for efficient ethanol production. Improvement of ethanol production efficiency from sweet sorghum juice (SSJ) under normal gravity (NG, 160 g/L of sugar), high gravity (HG, 200 and 240 ...

Fat body phospholipid state dictates hunger-driven feeding behavior
eLife, 2022 Diet-induced obesity leads to dysfunctional feeding behavior. However, the precise molecular nodes underlying diet-induced feeding motivation dysregulation are poorly understood.
