Dehydration does not drive host behavioural manipulation by hairworms Open
Nematomorphs are parasitic worms of arthropods, which complete their life cycle via behavioural manipulation of their host so that they can enter water to find a mate. Although this behaviour is readily observed, the underlying mechanism i…

230 Effects of <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> combined with plant extracts on growth performance and diarrhea of weaned pigs Open
The objective of this experiment was to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with Bacillus subtilis and plant extracts on growth performance and diarrhea of weanling pigs. Two hundred forty pigs (6.12 ± 0.53 kg body weight (B…
A sperm-activating trypsin-like protease from the male reproductive tract of Spodoptera litura: Proteomic identification, sequence characterization, gene expression profile, RNAi and the effects of ionizing radiation Open
Like other lepidopteran insects, males of the tobacco cutworm moth, Spodoptera litura produce two kinds of spermatozoa, eupyrene (nucleate) and apyrene (anucleate) sperm. Formed in the testis, both kinds of sperm are released into the male…

Dichotomous sperm in Lepidopteran insects: a biorational target for pest management Open
Lepidoptera are unusual in possessing two distinct kinds of sperm, regular nucleated (eupyrene) sperm and anucleate (apyrene) sperm (‘parasperm’). Sperm of both types are transferred to the female and are required for male fertility. Apyre…
A transcription factor that enables metamorphosis Open
Microbial communities are found throughout the biosphere, from human guts to glaciers, from soil to activated sludge. Understanding the statistical properties of such diverse communities can pave the way to elucidate the common mechanisms …
Mayfly metamorphosis: Adult winged insects that molt Open
Structures from the Stone Age can provide unique insights into Late Glacial and Mesolithic cultures around the Baltic Sea. Such structures, however, usually did not survive within the densely populated Central European subcontinent. Here, …
Borrelia bavariensis: Vector Switch, Niche Invasion, and Geographical Spread of a Tick-Borne Bacterial Parasite Open
The Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato species complex currently consists of more than 20 species that utilize small vertebrate hosts as reservoirs and ticks of the genus Ixodes as vectors. The bacterial parasite species differ in their ecolo…
Cooking up the perfect insect: Aristotle's transformational idea about the complete metamorphosis of insects Open
Aristotle made important contributions to the study of developmental biology, including the complete metamorphosis of insects. One concept in particular, that of the perfect or complete state, underlies Aristotle's ideas about metamorphosi…
Complete metamorphosis of insects Open
The majority of described hexapod species are holometabolous insects, undergoing an extreme form of metamorphosis with an intercalated pupal stage between the larva and adult, in which organs and tissues are extensively remodelled and in s…
