The complex stripes and patterns of insects play key roles in behavior and ecology. However, the fine-scale regulation mechanisms underlying pigment formation and morphological divergence remain largely unelucidated. Here we demonstrated that imaginal disc growth factor (IDGF) maintains cuticle s...
BACKGROUND: Diet is foods and drinks regularly consumed, and its regulation is complicated. It is necessary to obtain a practical understanding of which foods and drinks contribute to health and well-being and which are insalubrious. Clear evidence shows that a high intake of fru...
