Application of genetic variants (Sections II–IV, VI, and IX) and molecular manipulations of
rhythm-related genes (Sections V–X) have been used experimentally to investigate features …

Urinary excretion of water and all major electrolytes exhibit robust circadian oscillations. The
24-h periodicity has been well documented for several important determinants of urine …

Circadian coordination of life functions is believed to contribute to an organism's fitness;
however, such contributions have not been convincingly demonstrated in any animal. The …

Anopheles gambiae, the primary African vector of malaria parasites, exhibits numerous
rhythmic behaviors including flight activity, swarming, mating, host seeking, egg laying, and …

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the dichotomous spermatogenesis in
Lepidoptera. Research into how apyrene sperm development occurs and is regulated plays …

Key behaviours, physiologies and gene expressions in Anopheles mosquitoes impact the
transmission of Plasmodium. Such mosquito factors are rhythmic to closely follow diel …

Lepidoptera are unusual in possessing two distinct kinds of sperm, regular nucleated
(eupyrene) sperm and anucleate (apyrene) sperm ('parasperm'). Sperm of both types are …

Abstract Background Vacuolar (H+)‐ATPase (V‐ATPase) is a multi‐subunit enzyme that
hydrolyzes adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to transport protons across a cellular membrane …

Numerous and charismatic, the Lepidoptera is one of the most widely studied groups of
invertebrates. Advances in molecular tools and genomic techniques have reduced the need …

Cell death is a fundamental aspect of development, homeostasis, and disease; yet, our
understanding of non-apoptotic forms of cell death is limited. One such form is phagoptosis …
