Background The Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly), Ceratitis capitata, is a major destructive
insect pest due to its broad host range, which includes hundreds of fruits and vegetables. It …

Circadian clock-gated cell division cycles are observed from cyanobacteria to mammals via
intracellular molecular connections between these two oscillators. Here we demonstrate …

Fermentation by fungi converts stored pollen into bee bread that is fed to honey bee larvae,
Apis mellifera, so the diversity of fungi in bee bread may be related to its food value. To …

Current insights into the mosquito dehydration response rely on studies that examine specific
responses but ultimately fail to provide an encompassing view of mosquito biology. Here, …

Taken together, these reports support a key role for circadian rhythms in regulating the gut
microbiome and host responses to gastrointestinal pathogens. Further research is needed to …

Background & Aims The circadian clock orchestrates ∼24-hour oscillations of gastrointestinal
epithelial structure and function that drive diurnal rhythms in gut microbiota. Here, we use …

Circadian rhythms regulate diverse aspects of gastrointestinal physiology ranging from the
composition of microbiota to motility. However, development of the intestinal circadian clock …

Perfused three-dimensional (3D) cultures enable long-term in situ growth and monitoring of
3D organoids making them well-suited for investigating organoid development, growth, and …

To determine whether pollen is a significant food source for Balaustium cf. murorum (tentative
identification), behavioural responses to pollen feeding were examined in short-range …

The impact of maggot mass size on body water content, net transpiration rate, and dehydration
tolerance of fly pupae was examined in six species of necrophagous flies. Species that …
