Insect insights
This year has seen a major celebration of one key Victorian biologist: Charles Darwin in the bicentenary of his birth and 150 years since first publication of the Origin of Species. But a new book celebrates many other Victorian biologists, focused on insects, who also made an impact on natural history. Bugs and the Victorians, by John Clark at the University of St Andrews, celebrates the entom...
متن کاملThe function of intragenic DNA methylation: insights from insect epigenomes.
Epigenetic inheritance plays a fundamentally important role in mediating gene regulation and phenotypic plasticity. DNA methylation, in particular, has been the focus of many recent studies aimed at understanding the function of epigenetic information in insects. An understanding of DNA methylation, however, requires knowledge of its context in relation to other epigenetic modifications. Here, ...
متن کاملEvolution of insect mushroom bodies: old clues, new insights
The mushroom bodies are a morphologically diverse sensory integration and learning and memory center in the brains of various invertebrate species, of which those of insects are the best described. Insect mushroom bodies are composed of numerous tiny intrinsic neurons (Kenyon cells) that form calyces with their dendrites and a pedunculus and lobes with their axons. The identities of conserved K...
متن کاملResults and insights from the NCSU Insect Museum GigaPan project
Pinned insect specimens stored in museum collections are a fragile and valuable resource for entomological research. As such, they are usually kept away from viewing by the public and hard to access by experts. Here we present a method for mass imaging insect specimens, using GigaPan technology to achieve highly explorable, many-megapixel panoramas of insect museum drawers. We discuss the advan...
متن کاملNovel Insights into Insect-Microbe Interactions—Role of Epigenomics and Small RNAs
It has become increasingly clear that microbes form close associations with the vast majority of animal species, especially insects. In fact, an array of diverse microbes is known to form shared metabolic pathways with their insect hosts. A growing area of research in insect-microbe interactions, notably for hemipteran insects and their mutualistic symbionts, is to elucidate the regulation of t...
