Identification of novel yolk ferritins unique to planarians: planarians supply aluminum rather than iron to vitellaria in egg capsules
All animals, other than Platyhelminthes, produce eggs containing yolk, referred to as “entolecithal” eggs. However, only Neoophora, in the phylum...

Ad libitum consumption of protein- or peptide-sucrose solutions stimulates egg formation by prolonging the vitellogenic phase of oogenesis in anautogenous mosquitoes
BackgroundAnautogenous mosquitoes commonly consume nectars and other solutions containing sugar but are thought to only produce eggs in discrete...

MicroRNA-989 targets 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor1 to regulate ovarian development and eggs production in Culex pipiens pallens
BackgroundFemale mosquitoes need a blood meal after mating for their eggs to develop, and this behavior leads to the spread of pathogens. Therefore,...
