MetabolomicsThe Lolal-dpp axis mediates the regulation of host reproduction by gut symbionts in insects

Gut commensal microbiota can play an integral role in shaping insect reproduction, but the mechanisms underlying this process remain largely unexplored. Here, we report that gut bacteria promote host reproduction in the oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis (Diptera: Tephritidae), an important a...

ProteomicsSocial exchange of chemical cues, growth proteins and hormones through trophallaxis
Social insects frequently engage in oral fluid exchange – trophallaxis – between adults, and between adults and larvae. Although trophallaxis is normally considered a simple food-sharing mechanism, we hypothesized that endogenous components of this fluid might underlie a novel means of chemical comm...

TranscriptomicsThe molecular basis and evolution of cooperative brood care in bumblebees
Sibling care is a hallmark of the social insects, but its evolution remains challenging to explain. The hypothesis that sibling care evolved from ancestral maternal care in the primitively eusocial insects has been elaborated to involve heterochronic changes in gene expression. This elaboration lead...

TranscriptomicsEffects_of_immunostimulation_on_social_behavior_chemical_communication_and_genome-wide_gene_expression_in_honey_bee_workers
BACKGROUND: Social insects, such as honey bees, use molecular, physiological and behavioral responses to combat pathogens and parasites. The honey bee genome contains all of the canonical insect immune response pathways, and several studies have demonstrated that pathogens can activate expression o...

MetabolomicsImmune Stimulation via Wounding Alters Chemical Profiles of Adult Tribolium castaneum
Group-living individuals experience immense risk of disease transmission and parasite infection. In social and in some non-social insects, disease control with immunomodulation arises not only via individual immune defenses, but also via infochemicals such as contact cues and (defensive) volatiles t...
