The Olfactory System of (Marsh) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), a Natural Enemy of (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae).

The parasitoid wasp is a key koinobiont solitary endoparasitoid of the invasive agricultural pest . This study investigates both the morphological and molecular foundations of sex-specific olfactory differentiation in this species. Morphological analysis revealed that males possess significantly longer antennae (2880.

EasyMetagenome: A user-friendly and flexible pipeline for shotgun metagenomic analysis in microbiome research.

Shotgun metagenomics has become a pivotal technology in microbiome research, enabling in-depth analysis of microbial communities at both the high-resolution taxonomic and functional levels. This approach provides valuable insights of microbial diversity, interactions, and their roles in health and disease. However, the complexity of data processing and the need for reproducibility pose significant challenges to researchers.

Disruption of the Serine/Threonine Kinase Gene Affects Ovarian Development and Fecundity in the Cigarette Beetle, .

Serine/threonine kinase Akt, an important component of the insulin signaling pathway, plays an essential role in many physiological processes. In this study, we identified and characterized an gene (designated ) from the cigarette beetle, . contains a 1614 bp open reading frame encoding a 537 amino acid protein that possesses a conserved pleckstrin homology domain and a serine/threonine kinase domain.
