Bhasin, Devesh (2021-11-23)Biological entities often naturally evolve into a complex functional and structural organization to facilitate favorable characteristics for natural selection. Such characteristics include the simultaneous performance of ...

Le Gall, Marion (2014-05-07)Despite decades of research, many key aspects related to the physiological processes and mechanisms insect herbivores use to build themselves remain poorly understood, and we especially know very little about how interactions ...

Roeder, Karl Adam (2011-10-21)All animals, including insect herbivores, eat to acquire nutrients that are essential for fueling physiological processes associated with growth, development, and reproduction. Protein and digestible carbohydrates are ...

Jing, Xiangfeng (2012-02-14)Sterols serve two important biological functions in animals - they act as cellular membrane components, and as the precursor to steroid hormones. Insects require a dietary source of sterol because they cannot synthesize ...

Mohr, Rachel (2012-07-16)This investigation explored the environmental and physiological factors affecting adult blow fly (Diptera: Calliphoridae) arrival and attendance at pig (Sus scrofa domesticus L.) carcasses in Brazos Co, TX in the summer ...

Cress, Zachary Pierce (2009-05-15)Swordtail fishes of the genus Xiphophorus have been studied as a model of sexual selection for many years. Many single-trait manipulation studies have been performed, determining female preferences for individual male ...

Boswell, Andrew William Payne (2011-02-22)The field of ecological stoichiometry has been dominated by studies focusing on aquatic & benthic microinvertabrates with less attention given to herbivorous insects. These organisms rely on their food source(s) to supply ...

Plant phloem sterol content: forms, putative functions, and implications for phloem-feeding insects Behmer, Spencer T.; Olszewski, Nathan; Sebastiani, John; Palka, Sydney; Sparacino, Gina; Sciarrno, Elizabeth; Grebenok, Robert J. (Frontiers Media, 2013-09-24)All eukaryotes contain sterols, which serve as structural components in cell membranes, and as precursors for important hormones. Plant vegetative tissues are known to contain mixtures of sterols, but very little is known ...
