TcALS knockdown accelerates metamorphosis via insulin signaling in Tribolium castaneum
Insect Science, EarlyView.RNAi silencing of TcALS accelerates larva‐to‐pupa metamorphosis in Tribolium castaneum. Abstract Insect metamorphosis is an evolutionary adaptation precisely regulated by nutritional and hormonal cues. The red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum, a major stored‐product pest, serves as an excellent model for studying this process.

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.

Size, Spines, and Nests: What Drives Variation in Death‐Feigning Behavior in Fungus‐Farming Ants?
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We investigated death‐feigning (DF; thanatosis) in fungus‐farming ants, testing how stimulus intensity, morphology, and nest traits shape its occurrence and duration using generalized linear mixed models. Stronger stimuli increased both likelihood and duration, but most variation was structured across species, colonies, and individuals.

Evaluation of Resistance to Malathion and Pirimiphos Methyl in Strains of Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) collected in Indonesia. [PDF]
, 1981 Fifty-six strains of Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) collected from BULOG and commercial godowns of village co-operative units and farmers' padi storage units from many parts of Indonesia were tested for resistance to malathion and pirimiphos methyl ...

Rapid trait evolution drives increased speed and variance in experimental range expansions
Nature Communications, 2017 Spatial structure provides unique opportunities for evolution during range expansions. Here, the authors show experimentally using the red flour beetle,Tribolium castaneum, that dispersal and growth can evolve through spatial processes, increasing ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The increasing frequency and intensity of heatwaves—extreme thermal events characterized by prolonged supra‐optimal temperatures—exert profound impacts on global ecosystem stability and species interactions. While the disruptive effects of thermal stress on host physiology and gut microbiota are well documented, the role of cuticular ...

Regular higher order repeat structures in beetle Tribolium castaneum genome
, 2016 Higher order repeats (HORs) containing tandems of primary and secondary repeat units (head-to- tail "tandem within tandem pattern"), referred to as regular HORs, are typical for primate alpha satellite DNAs and most pronounced in human genome.
