The spatial organization of digestion, which corresponds to the steps by which the ingested
food is hydrolyzed in the different regions of the gut, was described in insects from the major …

Because food proteins are crucial for insect survival, growth, and fecundity, enzymes
involved in their digestion have attracted the attention of fundamental entomologists …

New approaches have led to advances in the molecular knowledge of digestion and nutrient
absorption in insects. Cell fractionation with proteomics revealed the molecular composition …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs;< 5 mm) are a growing concern and a poorly understood threat
to biota. We used a generalist insect (a cricket; Gryllodes sigillatus) to examine whether …

Cockroaches are among the first insects to appear in the fossil record. This work is part of
ongoing research on insects at critical points in the evolutionary tree to disclose evolutionary …

Previous screening of head-derived and gut fluid extracts of Carolina grasshoppers,
Dissosteira carolina (L.) revealed relatively high activity against cellulase substrates when …

This work presents a detailed morphofunctional study of the digestive system of a phasmid
representative, Cladomorphus phyllinus. Cells from anterior midgut exhibit a merocrine …

The predatory stinkbug Podisus nigrispinus has been utilized in biological control programs.
Its midgut is anatomically divided into anterior, middle and posterior regions, which play …

The concentration–mortality response of third instar larvae of Chrysomya megacephala
(Diptera: Calliphoridae) to a synthetic insecticide, chlorpyrifos, and its impact on …

Simple Summary Biting and chewing insects, such as crickets, may not have regular meals.
They have a foregut with a crop that permits food to be stored, and also for further …
