The transformer gene controls sexual development in Drosophila suzukii
Insect Science, EarlyView.The transformer gene plays a key role in the genetic pathway for sexual development in Drosophila suzukii Abstract The genetic network of sex determination in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster was investigated in great detail. Such knowledge not only advances our understanding of the evolution and regulation of sexual dimorphism in insects ...

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, EarlyView.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Insect Science, EarlyView.Abstract Globalization and climate change may be driving the spread of the quarantine fruit fly, Bactrocera carambolae, highlighting the need for ecofriendly control methods like the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), which relies on releasing sterile males to reduce wild populations.

Insect Science, EarlyView.Two spontaneous mutations in pupae of the West Indian fruit fly Anastrepha obliqua, named bp and sp, were isolated and studied. The bp mutation was selected, and using two types of Y‐autosoma l translocation inducers and an appropriate crossing scheme, two genetically sexed strains based on pupa l color were developed for the first time in this species,

Neoclassical development of genetic sexing strains for insect pest and disease vector control
Insect Science, EarlyView.The sterile insect technique has been effectively used for decades, and an important component is the availability of sex separation systems, in particular genetic sexing strains. Classical approaches, such as irradiation‐induced chromosomal translocations, have yielded stable strains for species like the Mediterranean fruit fly.

Size variation in the Mute Swan Cygnus olor
The European Zoological JournalSexual dimorphism in body size is a well-known phenomenon in the Mute Swan Cygnus olor, likely influenced by different selection pressures associated with its bi-parental care system. This study investigates geographic differences in morphological traits

Geometric morphometric differences between Panstrongylus geniculatus from field and laboratory
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2002 The finding of Panstrongylus geniculatus nymphs inside a house in northeastern Antioquia, Colombia, and the reports related to their increasing presence in homes suggest the need for surveillance methods for monitoring the invasion processes. We analyzed
