Mosquito-borne flaviviruses present a major public health concern. Their transmission is
sustained in a cycle between mosquitoes and vertebrate hosts. However, the dynamicity of …

Aedes aegypti are vectors for several arboviruses infecting hundreds of millions of people
annually. Controlling mosquito populations by regulating their reproduction is a potential …

Fecundity is arguably one of the most important life history traits, as it is closely tied to
fitness. Most arthropods are recognized for their extreme reproductive capacity. For …

The adaptation of insects to environments relies on a sophisticated set of behaviors
controlled by molecular and physiological processes. Over the past several decades …

Background: UVB irradiation can cause acute damage such as sunburn, or photoaging and
melanoma, all of which are major health threats. Objective: This study was designed to …

In addition to the acute lethal toxicity, insecticides might affect population dynamics of insect
pests by inducing life history trait changes under low concentrations, however, the …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in insect growth and development, but they were
poorly studied in insects. In this study, a total of 883 miRNAs were detected from the early …

The endocrine system plays a pivotal role in shaping the mechanisms that ensure
successful reproduction. With over a million known insect species, understanding the …

In insects, the juvenile hormone (JH) and 20‐hydroxyecdysone (20E) pathways jointly
regulate fecundity, but only methyl farnesoate (MF) and ponasterone A exist in mites …

The vast majority of all global species have circadian rhythm cycles that allow them to adapt
to natural environments. These regular rhythms are regulated by core clock genes and …
