Caudal regulates the spatiotemporal dynamics of pair-rule waves in Tribolium. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 In the short-germ beetle Tribolium castaneum, waves of pair-rule gene expression propagate from the posterior end of the embryo towards the anterior and eventually freeze into stable stripes, partitioning the anterior-posterior axis into segments ...

The cys-loop ligand-gated ion channel gene superfamily of the red flour beetle,
BMC Genomics, 2007 Background Members of the cys-loop ligand-gated ion channel (cys-loop LGIC) superfamily mediate chemical neurotransmission and are studied extensively as potential targets of drugs used to treat neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.

Spatiotemporal segmentation of contraction waves in the extra-embryonic membranes of the red flour beetle [PDF]
BMC BioinformaticsBackground In this paper, we introduce an image analysis approach for spatiotemporal segmentation, quantification, and visualization of movement or contraction patterns in 2D+t and 3D+t microscopy recordings of biological tissues. The development of this

Fertility and mortality impacts of thermal stress from experimental heatwaves on different life stages and their recovery in a model insect [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 With climate change creating a more volatile atmosphere, heatwaves that create thermal stress for living systems will become stronger and more frequent.

How enhancers regulate wavelike gene expression patterns
eLife, 2023 A key problem in development is to understand how genes turn on or off at the right place and right time during embryogenesis. Such decisions are made by non-coding sequences called ‘enhancers.’ Much of our models of how enhancers work rely on the ...

USE OF MICROWAVE RADIATION TO CONTROL SOME STORAGE INSECTS IN RICE [PDF]
Mesopotamia Journal of Agriculture, 2013 The microwave radiation had a considerable effect on the mortality percentage for the three species. The highest percentage of mortality was (14.61%) for Oryzaephilus surinamensis.

Tergal and pleural structures contribute to the formation of ectopic prothoracic wings in cockroaches [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 Wings were a fundamental morphological innovation for the adaptive radiation of insects, the most diversified group among all animals. Pterygote insects have two pairs of wings, the mesothoracic (T2) forewings and the metathoracic (T3) hindwings, whereas
