Thermosensory TRPV Heterotetramers Drive Seasonal Polyphenism: Molecular Basis of CcIav/CcNan‐PKCα‐AKH/AKHR Signaling in Pear Psyllid Morph Transition

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 45, December 4, 2025.
At 2 5 °C, thermal activation initiates: i) CcIav/CcNan heterotetramer assembly → Ca2⁺ influx; ii) CcPKCα phosphorylation → AKH signaling potentiation; iii) CcAKH1 binding to membrane‐localized CcAKHR → energy mobilization (lipid catabolism/glycogenolysis) and vitellogenin transport via follicular patency; iv) Oocyte maturation → summer‐form nymph ...

Decreased survival of mosquito cells after stable transfection with a Drosophila ecdysteroid response element: Possible involvement of a 40 kDa DNA binding protein

open access: yesJournal of Insect Science, 2002
Homologous transfection systems provide a useful tool for characterizing promoters and other regulatory elements from cloned genes. We have used cultured Aedes albopictus C7-10 mosquito cells to evaluate expression of 20-hydroxyecdysone-inducible genes ...

Action of ecdysterone on the moulting of amphipod females: Gammarus pulex (L.) and G.fossarum Koch. Early results. [Translation from: Crustaceana 28, 86-88, 1975.] [PDF]

open access: yes, 1975
In studying sexual attraction in gammarids of the group pulex, it has seemed necessary to dissociate the processes of moulting and ovogenesis in order to recognize their respective effects on this phenomenon.

Ultrastructural studies of oogenesis in Bolinus brandaris (Gastropoda: Muricidae)

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2004
Ultrastructural studies of oogenesis in Bolinus brandaris are described. Although the initial phase of oogenesis is common to most animal species, vitellogenesis can be considered a species-specific characteristic.

House Flies: Manure, Media, and Microbes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
This study was conducted to determine if there is a difference in bacterial abundance in house flies based on sex and rearing environment (manure versus artificial media) for house flies.

A long-term copper exposure on freshwater ecosystem using lotic mesocosms: Individual and population responses of three-spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) was used as the highest trophic level predator in an outdoor mesocosm study assessing the effect of environmentally realistic copper concentration (0, 5, 25 and 75 μg L−1) over 18 months of continuous ...

Krüppel Homolog 1 Is Required for the Role of Methyl Farnesoate in Vitellogenesis in the Mud Crab Scylla paramamosain

open access: yesFishes
Methyl farnesoate (MF), a counterpart of insect juvenile hormones in crustaceans, plays essential roles in molting, metamorphosis, and reproduction. In this paper, we isolated a gene-encoding Krüppel homolog 1 from the mud crab Scylla paramamosain (Sp-Kr-

The Reproductive Season of the Highland Stoneroller, Campostoma spadiceum, Evidenced by Museum Specimens [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The Highland Stoneroller (Campostoma spadiceum) was described as a distinct species in 2010. Since then, the only study specific to this species is a survey of distribution, and nothing is known about reproduction.

Étude de la structure ovarienne de Barbus holotaenia, Boulenger, 1904 (Pisces, Cyprinidae) du bassin de la Luki (Zaïre)

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 1996
L'examen histologique et cytologique des ovaires de Barbus holotaénia a permis de distinguer différents stades de développement.(stades 0 à VI). Le stade 0 correspond à la transformation des cellules primordiales en ovocytes.
