Physiological Response of Crocidolomia pavonana to the Calophyllum soulattri Active Fraction [PDF]
The objective of this study was to evaluate the physiological response of the cabbage head caterpillar Crocidolomia pavonana treated with an active fraction of Calophyllum soulattri bark extract. Extraction of the test plant materials were performed with

The activity of saccharolytic enzymes in Collembola is associated with species affinity for caves
The activity of enzymes associated with digestion can reflect food availability and feeding preferences of invertebrates in a particular habitat. Caves are mostly nutrient-poor habitats lacking primary production.

Transcriptomic analysis of Ascaris suum larvae during their hepatopulmonary migration [PDF]
Common roundworms are important intestinal nematodes of man (Ascaris lumbricoides) and pig (Ascaris suum). During the first stages of the infection, the larvae of these parasites undergo a hepatopulmonary migration.

Large-scale and significant expression from pseudogenes in Sodalis glossinidius – a facultative bacterial endosymbiont [PDF]
The majority of bacterial genomes have high coding efficiencies, but there are some genomes of intracellular bacteria that have low gene density. The genome of the endosymbiont Sodalis glossinidius contains almost 50 % pseudogenes containing mutations ...

Trehalose accumulation induced during the oxidative stress response is independent of TPS1 mRNA levels in Candida albicans [PDF]
Growing cells of the Candida albicans trehalose- deficient mutant tps1/tps1 were extremely sensitive to severe oxidative stress exposure (H2O2). However, their viability was not affected after saline stress or heatshock treatments, being roughly ...

Insulin-like and IGF-like peptides in the silkmoth Bombyx mori: discovery, structure, secretion, and function [PDF]
A quarter of a century has passed since bombyxin, the first insulin-like peptide identified in insects, was discovered in the silkmoth Bombyx mori. During these years, bombyxin has been studied for its structure, genes, distribution, hemolymph titers ...

Metabolomics-based biomarker discovery for bee health monitoring : a proof of concept study concerning nutritional stress in Bombus terrestris [PDF]
Bee pollinators are exposed to multiple natural and anthropogenic stressors. Understanding the effects of a single stressor in the complex environmental context of antagonistic/synergistic interactions is critical to pollinator monitoring and may serve ...

Learning from yeasts: intracellular sensing of stress conditions [PDF]
One intriguing challenge in modern biology is to understand how cells respond to, and distinguish between different stressing stimuli. Evidence accumulated in recent years indicates that a network of signaling pathways extends from the plasma membrane to
