There is a growing body of evidence that invertebrates can generate improved secondary responses after a primary challenge. This immunological memory can be primed by a range of pathogens, including bacteria. The generation of immunological...
Arthropod repellent interactions with olfactory receptors and ionotropic receptors analyzed by molecular modeling [0.03%]

The main insect chemoreceptors are olfactory receptors (ORs), gustatory receptors (GRs) and ionotropic receptors (IRs). The odorant binding sites of many insect ORs appear to be occluded and inaccessible from the surface of the receptor pro...
Transgenerational plasticity in aphids reared in a poor-resource environment [0.03%]
在资源匮乏环境下饲养的蚜虫的跨世代可塑性

Population density and structure are critical to nature conservation and pest management. Traditional sampling methods such as capture-mark-recapture and catch-effort can't be used in situations where catching, marking, or removing individu...
An enigmatic Cretaceous beetle with possible affinity to Erotylidae (Coleoptera: Cucujiformia) [0.03%]
一个具有粉甲科亲缘关系的神秘白垩纪甲虫(Coleoptera:Cucujiformia)

Yan-Da Li et al.
The morphology of beetles of the recently defined superfamilies Erotyloidea, Nitiduloidea and Cucujoidea is varied. Determining the systematic positions of Mesozoic fossils within these groups can often be challenging. Here we describe and ...

Diapause is a form of internally-controlled dormancy that allows insects to avoid stressful conditions and periods of low food availability. Eastern spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana Clemens), like many cold-adapted insects, enter di...
Response of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) genotypes to natural infestation by scale insect pest Stictococcus vayssierei Richard (Hemiptera: Stictococcidae) [0.03%]
对尺蚧害虫(Stictococcus vayssierei Richard)自然感染反应的木薯(Manihot esculenta Crantz)基因型研究(半翅目:尺球蚧科)

Patrice Zemko Ngatsi et al.
Cassava is mostly grown for its starchy roots, which ensure food security. However, it is heavily attacked by the African root and tuber scale (ARTS) Stictococcus vayssierei in Central Africa. This pest is a severe constraint to the product...
