The widespread use and improper disposal of polypropylene (PP) facemasks have resulted in persistent environmental pollution, posing urgent challenges for waste management. This study added bran-PP mixture, which increased the survival rate...
Specialized prey-trapping predation and phragmosis in a Cretaceous beetle larva [0.03%]
白垩纪食虫类甲虫幼虫的特殊捕食和封仓行为
Nian Liu,Michael S Engel,Qian Zhao et al.
Nian Liu et al.
We find a specialized Pachyteles-like larva from mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber, which represents a rare insight into the behavioral and morphological adaptations of early beetles. In our finding, its terminal disk morphology suggests a highly...
Host-derived lipids are required for successful embryonic development in the pupal parasitoid Trichopria drosophilae [0.03%]
寄主衍生的脂质对于幼虫期寄生蜂Drosophila胚胎的成功发育是必需的
Sicong Zhou,Pang Lan,Yueqi Lu et al.
Sicong Zhou et al.
Parasitoids often manipulate host nutritional metabolism to facilitate their own growth and survival. However, how parasitoids acquire and utilize host-derived nutrients to support embryonic development remains poorly understood. Here, we f...
Calcitonin-like diuretic hormone influences reproduction in adult female Rhodnius prolixus [0.03%]

Calcitonin-like diuretic hormone (CT/DH) is a pleiotropic neuropeptide in insects that plays a role in regulating diuresis in Rhodnius prolixus, a blood-feeding insect and a vector of Chagas' disease. Here, we examine the role of this neuro...
Serotonin-mediated wing dimorphism in Nilaparvata lugens: A survival strategy triggered by host plant senescence [0.03%]
褐飞虱受植物诱导的翅型多态性的发生机制及适应意义研究
Yutao Hu,Kai Lin,Jiahui Liu et al.
Yutao Hu et al.
The molecular mechanisms by which insects perceive and behaviorally adapt to host plant nutritional variation constitute a fundamental question in insect-plant coevolution. The brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens, BPH), a monophagous pest...
Insect olfactory proteins: A comprehensive review with a special emphasis on the role of odorant-binding proteins in insect immunity [0.03%]
昆虫嗅觉蛋白：综述及其气味结合蛋白在昆虫免疫中的作用的专题分析

The insect olfactory system is essential for survival, enabling the detection of chemical cues critical for feeding, reproduction, and avoiding threats. Semiochemicals, including pheromones and allelochemicals, are processed through special...
Roles of the chemosensory protein RpCSP8 in reproduction and feeding behavior of sexual and non-sexual female of Rhopalosiphum padi [0.03%]
RpCSP8在麦长管蚜有翅和无翅两性及雌性成虫生殖和取食行为中的作用研究
Wenhua Hou,Linhai Xia,Xiaoxiao Yuan et al.
Wenhua Hou et al.
Chemosensory proteins (CSPs) are small soluble proteins that play various roles in insects. The non-sexual parthenogenetic females (virginoparae) of Rhopalosiphum padi can transition to sexual reproduction and produce sexual females (ovipar...
V-ATPase subunit M9.7-d is essential for sperm motility in Drosophila melanogaster [0.03%]
Drosophila V-ATPase辅因子M9.7-d对于精子活力至关重要
Si-Ying Li,Hao-Lin Wang,Qian Zhao et al.
Si-Ying Li et al.
V-ATPases are crucial for animal development and survival, but their functions in fertility are largely unknown. Here, we found that knockdown of VhaM9.7-d in germ cells induced complete sterility in male Drosophila melanogaster, but had no...
LadybirdBase: A comprehensive biology, ecology, and omics resource for ladybird beetles (Coccinellidae) [0.03%]
瓢虫数据库：瓢虫科的综合生物学、生态学和组学资源
Yi-Fei Sun,Kun-Yu Yang,Hao Li et al.
Yi-Fei Sun et al.
Ladybird beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) comprise over 6000 species and have been extensively studied in terms of their biology, ecology, omics, and applications in biological control. However, this knowledge is scattered across diverse...
Interaction and co-evolution among parasites, host insects, and gut microbiota [0.03%]
寄主昆虫、肠道微生物组和寄生虫之间的互作及协同演化研究进展
Zi-Jing Zhang,Li-Juan Xiao,David I Gibson et al.
Zi-Jing Zhang et al.
Insects, the most diverse group of animals, inhabit almost all environments on Earth. They are susceptible to a wide range of parasites, including entomopathogenic protozoans, nematodes, and ectoparasitic mites. These parasites manipulate h...
