New study reveals #lignin modification in Macrotermes barneyi microsymbiotic digestive system, highlighting the disruption of lignin at different stages of the digestion process and #termite #guts & #fungus combs drive this mechanism. rebrand.ly/58lyf4c Wiley Ecology & Evolution

Transglutaminase (TGase) plays a key role in #invertebrate #immunity. Study finds Oriental #Armyworm, Mythimna separata TGase genes are upregulated in hemocytes forming bead encapsulation capsules. #RNAi significantly reduces bead encapsulation rates. rebrand.ly/rmovu0e

🌱BmZFP67 maintains cell cycle homeostasis in #silkworms. ✅Overexpression inhibits BmCdc25, causing G2/M phase arrest. ❌ Knockout results in abnormal cytoplasmic division. rebrand.ly/02dd4a Wiley Ecology & Evolution

Silencing of LIM homeodomain #transcription factor 1 alpha (Lmx1a) gene caused larval #molting failure and adult #reproductive deficiency in Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata rebrand.ly/ws5b8fo

This study is the first to report global diversity patterns of carrion-feeding insects at the #specimen level. A Trogidae #bettle case study sheds light on insect diversity & inverse latitudinal #diversity gradients. rebrand.ly/50c149

New study revealed that pheromone binding protein 3 (PBP3), exhibited the highest affinity for Z11-16:Ald (primary sex pheromone) in Mythimna separata. RNAi displayed a notable decrease in successful mating behaviors. rebrand.ly/e3pybea Wiley Ecology & Evolution

New study cloned 196 #OR genes from Anopheles gambiae & Aedes aegypti. Developed a screening system using HEK293FT cells with aequorin to identify ORs capable of detecting nitro compounds, with an aim for applications in sensing devices. rebrand.ly/j1jgezq Wiley Ecology & Evolution

New study on Glossina fuscipes fuscipes shows Spiroplasma infection in tsetse flies drives sex-biased #mating #behavior: males have higher infection rates, infected flies mate more readily, and individuals prefer partners with matching infection status. rebrand.ly/97f098

A multilocus sequence typing approach is proposed to explore Halymorpha halys genetic diversity, taking into consideration both insect nuclear #markers and markers from the #gut #symbiont “Candidatus Pantoa carbekii.” #OpenAccess rebrand.ly/bd8fba Wiley Ecology & Evolution

New #silkworm study: Dimm TF activates GDAP2—key gene in insulin/JH signaling! GDAP2 knockout delays growth, shrinks size, halts at 4th instar—links to ecdysone/#immune pathways. #CHIPseq rebrand.ly/1bfdd7 Wiley Ecology & Evolution

After #bacterial and #fungal infections, JNK & TOR pathways are activated, S6K is phosphorylated, leading to production of winged offspring. Inhibition of JNK or TOR, results in a reduced proportion of winged #aphids in the offspring. rebrand.ly/cd71b9 Wiley Ecology & Evolution

New research reveals how 20-hydroxyecdysone (#20E) regulates vitellogenin (#Vg) transcription in Chilo suppressalis via #transcription factor CsE74A and ribosomal protein Cs40SRPS4, impacting vitellogenesis. rebrand.ly/18c0ba Wiley Ecology & Evolution

New study sequences genomes of wild & lab-reared Glossina fuscipes fuscipes #tsetse flies using #Nanopore tech! #Genome shows high quality (N50 > 47 Mb, BUSCO > 99.5%) with minor structural variants & 381 unique orthologs. rebrand.ly/5c9f56 Wiley Ecology & Evolution

Researchers performed #transcriptome and #metabolome analyses of fat bodies in Epicauta chinensis to reveal the key genes and #metabolites related to cantharidin biosynthesis. rebrand.ly/0ucza5g Wiley Ecology & Evolution

Sublethal chlorantraniliprole impacts sex #pheromone communication in Athetis lepigone males! Study finds AlepOBP20—upregulated in antennae under stress—binds both pheromones & pesticide, possibly aiding moth #adaptation. rebrand.ly/90a91b Wiley Ecology & Evolution

Rifampicin-reduced Buchnera impairs density-dependent winged #offspring production in #aphids! Study shows rifampicin suppresses PAT1 expression & FOXO phosphorylation, decreasing winged aphid proportion. rebrand.ly/a8eae3 Wiley Ecology & Evolution

New study reveals Bemisia tabaci #whiteflies carrying the virus TYLCV prefer previously infested peppers!🌶️ Viruliferous MED whiteflies settle/oviposit more on pre-infested hosts, feeding more effectively due to suppressed #plant defenses. rebrand.ly/1cb3e7 Wiley Ecology & Evolution

#OpenAccess study reveals #genetic & phenotypic differences in male wood tiger moths (Arctia plantaginis) in Caucasus: Lesser males have large red hindwings, single genetic population; Greater males are isolated, with smaller orange wings. rebrand.ly/2dmwiwn Wiley Ecology & Evolution
