Addressing Indigenous rights and interests in genetic resources has become increasingly
challenging in an open science environment that promotes unrestricted access to genomic …

Genetic technologies such as gene editing and gene drive systems have recently emerged
as potential tools for pest control. Gene drives, in particular, have been described as …

The kākāpō is a flightless parrot endemic to New Zealand. Once common in the archipelago,
only 201 individuals remain today, most of them descending from an isolated island …

Myriapods (eg, centipedes and millipedes) display a simple homonomous body plan relative
to other arthropods. All members of the class are terrestrial, but they attained terrestriality …

Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells can be activated via either their T cell receptor (TCR),
which recognizes MR1-bound pyrimidines derived from microbial riboflavin …

Light stimuli produce graded hyperpolarizations of the photoreceptor plasma membrane
and an associated decrease in a voltagegated calcium channel conductance that mediates …

… Preliminary in situ hybridization data indicate that none of these honey bee genes are
expressed during segmentation (MJ Wilson and PK Dearden, unpubl.). These data imply that …

Background The Hemiptera (aphids, cicadas, and true bugs) are a key insect order, with high
diversity for feeding ecology and excellent experimental tractability for molecular genetics. …

Background Female larvae of the honeybee (Apis mellifera) develop into either queens or
workers depending on nutrition. This nutritional stimulus triggers different developmental …
