Simple Summary The abundance of insects indicates that they are one of the most
adaptable forms of life on earth. Genetic, physiological, and biochemical plasticity and the …

Our highly seasonal world restricts insect activity to brief portions of the year. This feature
necessitates a sophisticated interpretation of seasonal changes and enactment of …

Diapause is a physiological adaptation to conditions that are unfavorable for growth or
reproduction. During diapause, animals become long-lived, stress-resistant …

Rhodnius prolixus is a blood-gorging insect that is medically important since it transmits
Chagas disease via feces and urine that contain the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. In adult …

The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway is a well-conserved
intracellular signal transduction pathway, and has important roles in mammalian …

The forkhead box O (FoxO), as a conserved transcription factor, plays an indispensable role
in regulating insect diapause. However, how FoxO is regulated to control diapause in …

Animals can adjust their physiology, helping them survive and reproduce under a wide
range of environmental conditions. One of the strategies to endure unfavorable …

In insects, the juvenile hormone (JH) biosynthetic pathway regulates the in vivo JH titer.
Thus, its downregulation potentially contributes to the lowering of JH titers typically observed …

BACKGROUND The green lacewing Chrysoperla nipponensis is an important natural
enemy of many insect pests and exhibits reproductive diapause to overwinter. Our previous …

Juvenile hormone (JH) absence induces photoperiod‐mediated reproductive diapause,
which is characterized by reproductive cessation. Although the role of methoprene‐tolerant …
