The sweet taste receptors in the cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera) are evolved to adapt towards the larval and adult foods with different types and amounts of sugar.

This sesquiterpene hormone likely acted as a morphogenesis-to-differentiation switch in archaic embryos before it evolved its postembryonic function as the status quo regulator of insect metamorphosis.

Variation in the rate of alternative splicing across animals are mainly driven by differences in the rate of splicing errors.

A synthetic, prospective article considers how the fields of sensory ecology and collective behaviour can combine when considering animal collective movements and interactions, and how these fields can inspire each other to advance understanding of animal behaviour, adaptation and evolution.

Coevolution analysis suggests that a DNA methylation-related role for the nucleosome remodeling ATPase HELLS and its activator CDCA7 was broadly inherited from the last eukaryotic common ancestor.

How biologically relevant chemical information can be genetically maintained and conveyed in complex sex pheromonal profiles.

Sixteen new mermithid nematodes associated with their insect hosts are discovered from mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber and they are more abundant in non-holometabolous insect hosts, revealing what appears to be a vanished history of nematodes parasitism.

The propensity to endogenize and domesticate dsDNA viruses depends on lifestyle in Hymenoptera.

Environmental DNA from highly standardized leaf sample time series suggests no localized species losses, but biotic turnover and homogenization, as main drivers of forest insect decline.
