SMBE Journals (Molecular Biology and Evolution and Genome Biology and Evolution) Further analysis of PifA and PifB revealed that they exhibit many of the characteristics of eukaryotic host-associated ...
Scientists have uncovered a set of neurons in fruit flies that shut down in cold temperatures and slow reproduction, a system conserved in many insects, including mosquitoes, which could provide a ...
While most animals reproduce sexually, some species rely solely on females for parthenogenetic reproduction. Even in these species, rare males occasionally appear. Whether these males retain ...
Dormancy is a survival strategy for many organisms that involves suppressing development and reproduction for a period of time to reduce energy consumption in unfavorable environments. In some insects ...
The secret of the world’s deadliest animal’s reproductive success could lead to fewer baby mosquitoes. That could mean improved pest control. FIU Biomolecular Sciences Institute researchers ...
When it comes to reproduction in social insects, nobody competes with the queen. For some time, scientists have known that queen insects give off chemical signals that prevent workers from reproducing ...
The predatory mirid bug, Nesidiocoris tenuis, which preys on agricultural pests, is used as a biological control agent. This discovery has significant implications for biological control which ...
Grape phylloxera -- the insect that nearly wiped out wine production at the end of the 19th century in France -- hijacks a grape vine's reproductive programs to create a leaf gall, which it uses as a ...
More than 40 percent of the world's insect species could go extinct over the next several decades leading to "catastrophic" results for the planet's various ecosystems, a new study says. The study ...

Winter survival: Brain peptide called corazonin stops reproduction in bean bug Riptortus pedestris
As the days grow shorter, many animals prepare for the approaching winter by suspending reproduction. Insects, for example, accumulate energy stores while halting ovarian development through a process ...
Insects play a crucial role in Tasmanian agriculture - supporting crop production, soil health and natural pest control.
