Researchers describe, for the first time, the structure of a smell-receptor protein common among insects. Its inner architecture illuminates how insects evolved to detect an amazing diversity of odors ...

Researchers have discovered a rule to predict an arthropod community structure based on the genomic variation in a foundation tree species. Generally, spatial and temporal factors affect how ...

A little leg may reveal something big about how closely related insect species can drastically differ in body shape, according to a new study led by researchers at the University of Tokyo. The team ...

Genetic diversity and population structure underpin the capacity of insect species to adapt to environmental change, resist emerging diseases and pests, and maintain ecological functions. Genetic ...

Table 1 A pairwise comparison of survival function of five cohorts of adult male Bactrocera tryoni that emerged in the laboratory from field infested fruit (= reference cohorts) collected during ...

Most of the volume of epithelial cell bodies containing nuclei are aligned as a monolayer on the apical (upper) side. They extend pillarlike cell processes in a basal (downward) direction. At the ...
