Evolution of insect olfactory receptors

eLife, 2014
The olfactory sense detects a plethora of behaviorally relevant odor molecules; gene families involved in olfaction exhibit high diversity in different animal phyla.

Embryonic Development of Appasus japonicus Vuillefroy, With Special Reference to Mouthparts Formation (Insecta: Heteroptera, Belostomatidae)

Journal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 5, May 2025.
In this study, we provide a detailed description of the embryonic development of Appasus japonicus, focusing on the formation of its specialized mouthparts. We identify homologies between the maxillary plate and maxillary palp and most parts of the stylet‐like mandibles and maxillae are housed within the labial palp.

Structural Diversity of Adipokinetic Hormones in the Coleopteran Suborder Polyphaga (Excluding Cucujiformia)

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 118, Issue 3, March 2025.
Adipokinetic hormones of Polyphaga beetles (minus Cucujiformia series) were sequenced and confirmed via mass spectrometry. Schgr‐AKH‐II is assumed as ancestral AKH in Coleoptera. Radiation of AKH diversity during the evolution of Scarabaeoidea. ABSTRACT Beetles are the largest animal group, in general.

Upscaling biodiversity monitoring: Metabarcoding estimates 31,846 insect species from Malaise traps across Germany

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Mitigating ongoing losses of insects and their key functions (e.g. pollination) requires tracking large‐scale and long‐term community changes. However, doing so has been hindered by the high diversity of insect species that requires prohibitively high investments of time, funding and taxonomic expertise when addressed with conventional tools ...

The moulting arthropod: a complete genetic toolkit review

Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 6, Page 2338-2375, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Exoskeletons are a defining character of all arthropods that provide physical support for their segmented bodies and appendages as well as protection from the environment and predation. This ubiquitous yet evolutionarily variable feature has been instrumental in facilitating the adoption of a variety of lifestyles and the exploitation of ...

Male genitalia, hierarchical homology, and the anatomy of the bullet ant (Paraponera clavata; Hymenoptera, Formicidae)

Journal of Morphology, Volume 285, Issue 9, September 2024.
We present a multimodal anatomy of the male genitalia of the bullet ant, Paraponera clavata. Using this as a model system, we expand and refine on the 5‐category system of homology classification proposed by Meneganzin et al. (2024) and we present evidence supporting the penis‐coxopod theory of male genitalic homology in male insects. Abstract The male

Neuromodulation and the toolkit for behavioural evolution: can ecdysis shed light on an old problem?

The FEBS Journal, Volume 291, Issue 6, Page 1049-1079, March 2024.
Altered neuromodulatory signalling via GPCRs frequently underlies evolutionary changes in behaviour. GPCRs and their ligands might thus represent a ‘toolkit’ akin to the Evo‐Devo toolkit responsible for animal development. Just as evolutionary changes in the Evo‐Devo toolkit can alter gene regulatory network function and morphology, changes in ...
