Genetics tools for corpora allata specific gene expression in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes
Juvenile hormone (JH) is synthesized by the corpora allata (CA) and controls development and reproduction in insects. Therefore, achieving...

Investigating the role of aae-miR-34-5p in the regulation of juvenile hormone biosynthesis genes in the mosquito Aedes aegypti
Juvenile hormone (JH) controls the development and reproduction of insects. Therefore, a tight regulation of the expression of JH biosynthetic...

A genetic toolkit underlying the queen phenotype in termites with totipotent workers
Social insect castes (e.g., queens, workers) are prime examples of phenotypic plasticity (i.e., different phenotypes arising from the same genotype)....

Identification and function of ETH receptor networks in the silkworm Bombyx mori
Insect ecdysis triggering hormones (ETHs) released from endocrine Inka cells act on specific neurons in the central nervous system (CNS) to activate...
-
The juvenile hormone described in Rhodnius prolixus by Wigglesworth is juvenile hormone III skipped bisepoxide
Juvenile hormones (JHs) are sesquiterpenoids synthesized by the corpora allata (CA). They play critical roles during insect development and...

Identification of an allatostatin C signaling system in mollusc Aplysia
Neuropeptides, as pervasive intercellular signaling molecules in the CNS, modulate a variety of behavioral systems in both protostomes and...
-
Enhanced germline stem cell longevity in Drosophila diapause
In many species including humans, aging reduces female fertility. Intriguingly, some animals preserve fertility longer under specific environmental...

Identification of sulfakinin receptor regulating feeding behavior and hemolymph trehalose homeostasis in the silkworm, Bombyx mori
Feeding behavior, the most fundamental physiological activity, is controlled by two opposing groups of factors, orexigenic and anorexigenic factors....

Early-adulthood spike in protein translation drives aging via juvenile hormone/germline signaling
Protein translation (PT) declines with age in invertebrates, rodents, and humans. It has been assumed that elevated PT at young ages is beneficial to...

Bacteria, yeasts, and fungi associated with larval food of Brazilian native stingless bees
Stingless bees are a diverse group with a relevant role in pollinating native species. Its diet is rich in carbohydrates and proteins, by collecting...

Segmentation of the subcuticular fat body in Apis mellifera females with different reproductive potentials
Evolution has created different castes of females in eusocial haplodiploids. The difference between them lies in their functions and vulnerability...

Nacα protects the larval fat body from cell death by maintaining cellular proteostasis in Drosophila
Protein homeostasis (proteostasis) is crucial for the maintenance of cellular homeostasis. Impairment of proteostasis activates proteotoxic and...
-
Brain adiponectin signaling controls peripheral insulin response in Drosophila
The brain plays a key role in energy homeostasis, detecting nutrients, metabolites and circulating hormones from peripheral organs and integrating...

Role of Methoprene-tolerant in the regulation of oogenesis in Dipetalogaster maxima
Juvenile hormone (JH) signalling, via its receptor Methoprene-tolerant (Met), controls metamorphosis and reproduction in insects. Met belongs to a...
-
Juvenile Hormone receptor Met is essential for ovarian maturation in the Desert Locust, Schistocerca gregaria
Juvenile hormones (JH) are key endocrine regulators produced by the corpora allata (CA) of insects. Together with ecdysteroids, as well as...
-
The ideal habitat for leaf-cutting ant queens to build their nests
Queens of Atta sexdens Forel (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) face biotic and abiotic environmental factors in the environment while establishing their...

Juvenile hormone controls ovarian development in female Anopheles albimanus mosquitoes
Anophelinae mosquitoes are vectors of human malaria, a disease that infects hundreds of millions of people and causes almost 600,000 fatalities...
-
A comprehensive anatomical map of the peripheral octopaminergic/tyraminergic system of Drosophila melanogaster
The modulation of an animal’s behavior through external sensory stimuli, previous experience and its internal state is crucial to survive in a...
-
The ecdysone receptor complex is essential for the reproductive success in the female desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria
Ecdysteroid hormones influence the development and reproduction of arthropods by binding a heterodimeric complex of nuclear receptors, the ecdysone...

Molecular underpinnings of division of labour among workers in a socially complex termite
Division of labour characterizes all major evolutionary transitions, such as the evolution of eukaryotic cells or multicellular organisms. Social...
