Sexual dimorphism is one of the most prevalent, and often the most extreme, examples of
phenotypic variation within species, and arises primarily from genomic variation that is …

Despite the huge human and economic costs of invasive insects, which are the main group
of invasive species, their environmental impacts through various mechanisms remain …

The reproductive-related studies, including genetic and genomic such as gonadal
transcriptome analyses, have previously focused on the adult spotted scat, with little …

Abstract BACKGROUND Lysiphlebia japonica Ashmead (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) is an
endophagous parasitoid wasp and its host, Aphis gossypii Glover (Hemiptera, Aphididae) is …

Homology of highly divergent genes often cannot be determined from sequence similarity
alone. For example, we recently identified in the aphid Hormaphis cornu a family of rapidly …

Insect physiology and reproduction depend on several terpenoid compounds, whose
biosynthesis is mainly unknown. One enigmatic group of insect monoterpenoids are …

Background Scale insects are worldwide sap-sucking parasites, which can be distinguished
into neococcoids and non-neococcoids. Neococcoids are monophyletic with a peculiar …

Many insect species rely on diverse terpenoids for their development and interorganismal
interactions. However, little is known about terpenoid biosynthesis in insects. The …

The antifungal and biological control effects of phytochemicals from the leaves and seeds of
Acacia concinna and Lantana camara were analyzed against plant phytofungi and the …
