Abstract: Bivalve mollusks are descendants of an early-Cambrian lineage and have successfully evolved unique strategies for reproduction. Nonetheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying reproductive regulation in mollusks remain to be elucidated. In this study, transcriptomes of ovary… read more here.

Abstract: This study presents a novel strategy for regulating caste ratio via maternal reproduction in a parthenogenetic social aphid, Pseudoregma bambucicola. Most mothers in the colony produce only soldiers or normal nymphs, whereas a small proportion… read more here.
