Abstract: Female stag beetles (Lucanidae) possess internal mycangia to maintain microbial cultures. Yeasts from these mycangia may help with larval nutrition in nutrient poor woody substrates, but only a few Lucanidae taxa have been studied and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13562-021-00685-x
Abstract: Plant protease inhibitors are defense molecules against pests, predators and pathogens. We purified and characterized a new 14 kDa protease inhibitor from the seeds of Spatholobus parviflorus by ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion exchanges chromatography, trypsin-affinity chromatography… read more here.

Abstract: Background Soil-derived prokaryotic gut communities of the Japanese beetle Popillia japonica Newman (JB) larval gut include heterotrophic, ammonia-oxidizing, and methanogenic microbes potentially capable of promoting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, no research has directly explored… read more here.
