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/cm.21955
Abstract: The eye holds a special fascination for many neuroscientists because of its meticulously organized structure. Vertebrates typically possess a simple camera‐type eye, whereas the compound eye structure is predominantly observed in arthropods including model organism… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/cm.70080
Abstract: Cooperativity between cytoskeletal proteins is crucial for spatiotemporal coordination in biological processes, like oogenesis. In mammalian and Drosophila oogenesis, proper assembly and function of actin networks require coordination between actin assembly factors Spire and formins,… read more here.

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.
