DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1716512115
Abstract: Significance One of the first crucial steps of animal development is to distinguish the anterior versus the posterior pole of the embryo, i.e., the AP axis. If this process fails, embryos may develop two mirror… read more here.

Latitudinal cline of death-feigning behaviour in a beetle (Tribolium castaneum)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Biology Letters"
DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2023.0028
Abstract: Death-feigning behaviour is a phenomenon in which a prey is rendered motionless due to stimulation or threat from a predator. This anti-predator defence mechanism has been observed across numerous animal taxa and is considered adaptive… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms22010296
Abstract: In the flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (peri)centromeric heterochromatin is mainly composed of a major satellite DNA TCAST1 interspersed with minor satellites. With the exception of heterochromatin, clustered satellite repeats are found dispersed within euchromatin. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms23115869
Abstract: The flour beetle Tribolium freemani is a sibling species of the model organism and important pest Tribolium castaneum. The two species are so closely related that they can produce hybrid progeny, but the genetic basis… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/insects14030220
Abstract: Simple Summary A model beetle, Tribolium castaneum, carries a positive single-stranded RNA virus Tribolium castaneum iflavirus (TcIV). This study shows that the TcIV is prevalent among different laboratory cultures, different strains, and the same strain… read more here.
