Genomic and gene regulatory signatures of cryptozoic adaptation: Loss of blue sensitive photoreceptors through expansion of long wavelength-opsin expression in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum

Frontiers in Zoology, 2007
Background Recent genome sequence analysis in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum indicated that this highly crepuscular animal encodes only two single opsin paralogs: a UV-opsin and a long wavelength (LW)-opsin; however, these animals do not encode

Traits Underlying Experimentally Evolved Dispersal Behavior in Tribolium castaneum. [PDF]

J Insect Behav
AbstractDispersal is an important behavior in many animals, with profound effects on individual fitness and the evolutionary trajectories of populations. This is especially true within taxa with particular life-history strategies, for example those that exploit ephemeral habitat.

The genome of Romanomermis culicivorax:revealing fundamental changes in the core developmental genetic toolkit in Nematoda [PDF]

, 2013
Background: The genetics of development in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been described in exquisite detail. The phylum Nematoda has two classes: Chromadorea (which includes C. elegans) and the Enoplea.

Study on the Distribution Characteristics of Tribolium Castaneum in Wheat Grain Heap

Liang you shipin ke-ji
Using a new type of insect probe trap, the activity and distribution of Tribolium castaneum in wheat grain bulks inside experimental silos were collected and analyzed to investigate its distribution patterns and main influencing factors within the grain ...

Lack of support for Rensch's rule in an intraspecific test using red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum) populations [PDF]

, 2017
Rensch's rule proposes a universal allometric scaling phenomenon across species where sexual size dimorphism (SSD) has evolved: in taxa with male‐biased dimorphism, degree of SSD should increase with overall body size, and in taxa with female‐biased ...
