Subtractive Hybridization Strategy Using Paramagnetic Oligo(dT) Beads and PCR
BioTechniques, 1996 Subtractive hybridization has been widely used for the identification of differentially expressed genes. Here we describe a simple, sensitive strategy of subtractive hybridization that involves binding the driver poly(A)+ RNA pool to paramagnetic ...

Defecation in preparation for ecdysis drives microplastic clearance in cricket nymphs
Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.In preparation for ecdysis, cricket nymphs cease feeding and gradually clear their gut contents via frass production, which removes most ingested MPs from their digestive tract. Following exoskeletal moulting, the foregut lining, including any remaining MPs, is shed and excreted alongside frass approximately 6 h later.

The Potential for Pest Management Using Plant‐Derived Signaling Compounds
Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.Plant‐derived signaling compounds mediate ecological interactions among plants, herbivores, their natural enemies, and neighboring plants. This graphical summary highlights three approaches to leveraging such ecological interactions for environmentally benign pest management: (1) Recruitment of natural enemies: Using herbivory‐induced plant volatiles ...

Starvation-Induced Changes to the Midgut Proteome and Neuropeptides in Manduca sexta
InsectsStarvation is a complex physiological state that induces changes in protein expression to ensure survival. The insect midgut is sensitive to changes in dietary content as it is at the forefront of communicating information about incoming nutrients to the
