CenH3 distribution reveals extended centromeres in the model beetle Tribolium castaneum
PLoS Genetics, 2020 Centromeres are chromosomal domains essential for kinetochore assembly and correct chromosome segregation. Inconsistent in their underlying DNA sequences, centromeres are defined epigenetically by the presence of the centromere-specific histone H3 ...

DISRUPTIVE SELECTION AND ASSORTATIVE MATING INTRIBOLIUM CASTANEUM [PDF]
Evolution, 1981 Disruptive selection (sometimes called diversifying selection) has been defined as simultaneous selection for more than one optimum phenotype within a single population (Mather, 1955). It is usually interpreted to mean favoring the extreme phenotypes of a quantitative character at the expense of those near the mean; however, the term can also apply to ...

Temperature stressed males are less attractive to female red flour beetles [PDF]
, 2018 Male red flour beetles (Tribolium castaneum) are shown to attract females through an aggression pheromone that may be altered due to varying degrees of stress (Wade, 1984).

Patch Exploitation by female Red Flour Beetles, Tribolium castaneum [PDF]
Journal of Insect Science, 2003 The red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) has had a long association with human stored food and can be a major pest in anthropogenic structures used for the processing and storage of grain-based products. Anthropogenic structures are fragmented landscapes characterized by spatially and temporally patchy resources ...

Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius

A genomic approach to the study of Tribolium castaneum genetics, development & evolution [PDF]
, 2004 During the last decade, Tribolium castaneum has become the insect of choice for comparative genetics and developmental studies outside of drosophilids. Until recently, most molecular studies have focused on the comparative analysis of early development ...

The Tribolium castaneum cell line TcA: a new tool kit for cell biology [PDF]
, 2014 The red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, is an agriculturally important insect pest that has been widely used as a model organism. Recently, an adherent cell line (BCIRL-TcA-CLG1 or TcA) was developed from late pupae of the red flour beetle.

Cell Reports, 2019 Body size in holometabolous insects is determined by the size at which the juvenile larva undergoes metamorphosis to the pupal stage. To undergo larva-pupa transition, larva must reach a critical developmental checkpoint, the threshold size (TS); however,
