Prostaglandins (PGs) and related eicosanoids are signal moieties derived from arachidonic
acid and two other C20 polyunsaturated fatty acids. They were discovered in the 1930s in …

The relationship between insect pathogenic fungi and their insect hosts is a classic example
of a co-evolutionary arms race between pathogen and target host: parasites evolve towards …

Eicosanoids, oxygenated metabolites of C20 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), mediate
fundamental physiological processes, including immune reactions and reproduction, in …

We treat the biological significance of prostaglandins (PGs) and their known receptors in
insect biology. PGs and related eicosanoids are oxygenated derivatives of arachidonic acid …

Abstract Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) mediates cellular immune responses in insects by
stimulating hemocyte‐spreading behavior that is driven by actin remodeling to form …

Follicular atresia is the mechanism by which the oocyte contents are degraded during
oogenesis in response to stress conditions, allowing the energetic resources stored in the …

The tomato/potato psyllid (TPP), Bactericera cockerelli (Šulc)(Hemiptera: Triozidae), is an
important, difficult to control, agricultural insect pest of solanaceous crops. To identify …

Blood-feeding arthropods are considered an enormous public health threat. They are
vectors of a plethora of infectious agents that cause potentially fatal diseases like Malaria …

Simple Summary Yellow mealworm farming (Tenebrio molitor, Linnaeus, 1758) for food and
feed is considered a more sustainable protein production method than livestock farming …

In this work we characterized the degenerative process of ovarian follicles of the bug
Rhodnius prolixus challenged with the non-entomopathogenic fungus Aspergillus niger. An …
