European Journal of Entomology, 2001 Pulsations of dorsal vessel were monitored by the noninvasive techniques of contact thermography on the dorsal cuticle and by strain gauge detection of abdominal elongation movements. Diapausing pupae exhibited periods of forward-oriented, or anterograde

Rhodnius, Golden Oil, and Met: A History of Juvenile Hormone Research
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 Juvenile hormone (JH) is a unique sesquiterpenoid hormone which regulates both insect metamorphosis and insect reproduction. It also may be utilized by some insects to mediate polyphenisms and other life history events that are environmentally regulated.

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 8, August 2025.Polydnaviruses represent a striking example of convergent evolution. These viruses, divided into bracoviruses and ichnoviruses, were independently acquired by braconid and ichneumonid parasitoid wasps respectively, to deliver pathogenic genes to caterpillar hosts.

Nicotine's defensive function in nature.
PLoS Biology, 2004 Plants produce metabolites that directly decrease herbivore performance, and as a consequence, herbivores are selected for resistance to these metabolites.

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2025.ABSTRACT Biochar is a charcoal‐like substance made by the pyrolysis of organic material from agricultural and forestry waste. While biochar is well documented for altering soil physicochemical conditions, few studies have investigated its possible effects on the management of arthropod pests.

Feeding-induced rearrangement of green leaf volatiles reduces moth oviposition
eLife, 2013 The ability to decrypt volatile plant signals is essential if herbivorous insects are to optimize their choice of host plants for their offspring. Green leaf volatiles (GLVs) constitute a widespread group of defensive plant volatiles that convey a ...

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 18, May 15, 2025.In CLas‐infected D. citri, CLas lowers 20E levels initially, relieving the suppression of ETH release. The subsequent increase in ETH levels upregulates its receptor DcETHR and activates the JH signaling pathway. The signaling cascade of 20E‐ETH/ETHR‐JH along with miR‐210, targeting DcETHR, boost female fecundity in CLas+ D.

Aging Cell, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2025.H+‐translocating V‐ATPases are regulated by reversible disassembly in many cell types. In young yeast cells, V‐ATPases are assembled and the lysosome‐like vacuole is acidified, but as cells age, V‐ATPases disassemble, vacuolar pH increases, and lifespan is shortened. Both mutation of the V‐ATPase disassembly factor Oxr1 and caloric restriction preserve

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 5, Page 3236-3256, May 2025.ABSTRACT The evolutionary arms race between plants and insects has led to key adaptive innovations that drive diversification. Alkaloids are well‐documented anti‐herbivory compounds in plant chemical defences, but how these specialized metabolites are allocated to cope with both biotic and abiotic stresses concomitantly is largely unknown.
