Abamectin induces mortality, inhibits food consumption, and causes histological changes in the midgut of the velvetbean caterpillar Anticarsia gemmatalis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
Anticarsia gemmatalis is a defoliator caterpillar of soybean that can be controlled by chemical and biological agents. However, resistant populations...

Functional transcriptome analyses of Drosophila suzukii midgut reveal mating-dependent reproductive plasticity in females
BackgroundInsect females undergo a huge transition in energy homeostasis after mating to compensate for nutrient investment during reproduction. To...
