DOI: 10.1002/arch.21822
Abstract: RNAi efficiency in insects is different from species to species; some species in Coleoptera are relatively more amenable to RNA interference (RNAi) than other species. One of the major factors is the presence of dsRNA-degrading… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/arch.21860
Abstract: The nonnutritive sugar, erythritol, has the potential to be a human-safe management tool for the small fruits and cherry pest, Drosophila suzukii, or spotted-wing drosophila. Feeding on erythritol decreases fly survival and oviposition by starving… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/bies.201700246
Abstract: The Hawaiian Drosophila have been a model system for evolutionary, ecological, and ethological studies since the inception of the Hawaiian Drosophila Project in the 1960s. Here we review the past and present research on this… read more here.

Two pair‐rule responsive enhancers regulate wingless transcription in the Drosophila blastoderm embryo

DOI: 10.1002/dvdy.142
Abstract: While many developmentally relevant enhancers act in a modular fashion, there is growing evidence for nonadditive interactions between distinct cis‐regulatory enhancers. We investigated if nonautonomous enhancer interactions underlie transcription regulation of the Drosophila segment polarity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/dvdy.66
Abstract: The ADCK proteins are predicted mitochondrial kinases. Most studies of these proteins have focused on the Abc1/Coq8 subfamily, which contributes to Coenzyme Q biosynthesis. In contrast, little is known about ADCK1 despite its evolutionary conservation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8803
Abstract: Abstract Sexual selection frequently promotes the evolution of aggressive behaviors that help males compete against their rivals, but which may harm females and hamper their fitness. Kin selection theory predicts that optimal male–male competition levels… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jnr.24485
Abstract: The neuroanatomy of Drosophila wing chemosensilla and the analysis of their sensory organ precursor cell lineage have demonstrated that they are surprisingly related to taste perception. The microarchitecture of wing bristles limits the use of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ps.4470
Abstract: The massive use of DDT as an insecticide between 1940 and 1970 has resulted in the emergence of a resistant population of insects. One of the main metabolic mechanisms developed by resistant insects involves detoxification… read more here.
