ABSTRACT The coevolutionary radiation of 27 species of Tetraopes longhorned beetles and their Asclepias milkweed hosts represents a classic example of adaptive evolution driven by plant chemical defences and herbivore counteradaptations. Investigations to date, however, have focused on a single species, Tetraopes tetrophthalmus, which feeds on the ...

Comprehensive genome and stage‐specific transcriptomes reveal 14,637 genes in Listronotus oregonensis, advancing genetic insights into a key agricultural pest. Compared with related species, L. oregonensis exhibits reduced chemoreceptor gene families but expanded detoxification gene clusters, reflecting its narrow host range and adaptability.

The central complex is a group of midline‐spanning neuropils in the brain of insects with a key role in goal‐directed orientation and navigation. Immunolabeling in 25 species, ranging from bristletails to flies, shows that neurons containing peptides of the tachykinin family of neuropeptides are present in most species studied.

Meeting Livestock Protein and Amino Acids Needs With Edible Insects: A Critical Review
Comparison of the use of traditional protein sources (soybean meal and fish meal) and insects meal in monogastrics and aquaculture (created in BioRender. Luttenschlager, H. (2025) https://BioRender.com/ndztqxp) ABSTRACT The increasing demand for animal‐based protein has led to biodiversity loss, deforestation, pollution, and extensive land use, mainly ...
