A knockdown in the expression of a male-specific aminopeptidase impedes the male reproductive success of the mosquito Culex pipiens [0.03%]
雄蚊特有的氨肽酶的表达受到抑制会影响Culex pipiens的繁殖成功率

Tatyana Martynova et al.
It is imperative to determine the expression patterns and functions of genes essential for reproduction in mosquito vectors, such as Culex pipiens, to optimize vector control strategies, such as the sterile insect technique (SIT). The repro...
Response of fruit fly (Drosophila pseudoobscura) to diet manipulation of nutrient density [0.03%]

Caloric intake can greatly affect many aspects of an organism's life. A deficiency of calories can lead to stress resulting in decreased fecundity, insufficient calories to maintain tissues and increased lifespan. Conversely, increasing cal...
Improvement of starvation resistance via periodic fasting is genetically variable in Drosophila melanogaster [0.03%]

Despite many decades of multilateral global efforts, a significant portion of the world population continues to be plagued with one or more mosquito-vectored diseases. These include malaria and filariasis as well as numerous arboviral-assoc...
Life-history changes in the cold tolerance of the two-spot spider mite Tetranychus urticae: applications in pest control and establishment risk assessment [0.03%]

Lethal time50 (LTime50) and lethal temp (LTemp50) are commonly used laboratory indices of arthropod cold tolerance, with the former often being employed to predict winter survival in the field. In the present study, we compare the cold tole...

Diapause, a strategy to endure unfavourable conditions (e.g. cold winters) is commonly found in ectothermic organisms and is characterized by an arrest of development and reproduction, a reduction of metabolic rate, and an increased resista...
Circadian rhythm in mRNA expression of the glutathione synthesis gene Gclc is controlled by peripheral glial clocks in Drosophila melanogaster [0.03%]

Circadian coordination of metabolism, physiology, and behaviour is found in all living kingdoms. Clock genes are transcriptional regulators, and their rhythmic activities generate daily rhythms in clock-controlled genes which result in cell...
Drosophila ezoana uses an hour-glass or highly damped circadian clock for measuring night length and inducing diapause [0.03%]
果蝇Drosophila ezoana使用一种滴答钟或高度阻尼的昼夜节律钟来测量夜晚长度并诱导滞育状态

Insects inhabiting the temperate zones measure seasonal changes in day or night length to enter the overwintering diapause. Diapause induction occurs after the duration of the night exceeds a critical night length (CNL). Our understanding o...
Neural and non-neural contributions to sexual dimorphism of mid-day sleep in Drosophila melanogaster: a pilot study [0.03%]
