Nutrition is a limiting feature of species evolution. The differences in nutritional requirements
are the evolutionary result of differential adaptations to environmental changes, explaining …

Background Understanding how ectotherms manage energy in response to temperature is
crucial for predicting their responses to climate change. However, the complex interplay …

Aleurocanthus spiniferus not only damages plant leaves directly but also causes a sooty
blotch due to the honeydew secreted by the nymphs and adults. This pest is widespread and …

Overwintering insects are facing energetic challenges because of food shortage, low
temperature, and desiccation stress. Paper wasps of the genus Polistes overwinter as mated …

Amid global climate change featuring erratic temperature fluctuations, insects adapt via
seasonal polyphenism, essential for population sustainability and reproductive success …

Background Energy homeostasis is vital for insects to survive food shortages. This study
investigated the starvation tolerance of Spodoptera frugiperda, which invaded China in …

The fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (JE Smith)(Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a major
agricultural pest. Low temperature is an important factor that limits S. frugiperda survival and …

Chilo partellus undergo hibernation to survive under harsh winter conditions. We
investigated changes in lipophilic profiles of larval and pupal whole body and tissues …

Insects, like most animals, have intimate interactions with microorganisms that can influence
the insect host's lipid metabolism. In this chapter, we describe what is known so far about the …

Loss of natural habitats is one of the most critical threats to biodiversity. Habitat restoration is
a key strategy to re-establish degraded ecosystems and support the persistence and …
