Abstract The bed bug, Cimex lectularius , has re-established itself as a ubiquitous human ectoparasite throughout much of the world during past two decades. This global resurgence is likely linked to increased international travel and commerce in addition widespread insecticide resistance. Analyses C. sequenced genome (650 Mb) 14,220 predicted protein-coding genes provide comprehensive representation that are traumatic insemination, reduced chemosensory repertoire related obligate...
Abstract Background The Hemiptera (aphids, cicadas, and true bugs) are a key insect order, with high diversity for feeding ecology excellent experimental tractability molecular genetics. Building upon recent sequencing of hemipteran pests such as phloem-feeding aphids blood-feeding bed bugs, we present the genome sequence comparative analyses centered on milkweed bug Oncopeltus fasciatus , seed feeder family Lygaeidae. Results 926-Mb is well represented by current assembly official gene set....

Fans enable water strider adaptation Genomes of closely related organisms are similar but contain variations that different phenotypes and lifestyles. The origin evolutionary innovations, such as insect wings bird feathers, poses a challenge to biology because the de novo emergence complex traits cannot easily be explained by natural selection. Water-walking Rhagovelia insects evolved propelling fan on middle leg is associated with life fast-flowing streams. Santos et al. discovered geisha...
The fauna of semiaquatic bugs (Insecta: Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Gerromorpha) from Panama has been explored mainly between the end 19th century and first half 20th century, with few reports since then, whereas that Colombia intensively studied in last decade. Here, we describe Rhagovelia joceliae Rodrigues & Moreira, sp. nov. (Veliidae: Rhagoveliinae), Panama. Additionally, new records these countries are presented for Mesovelia mulsanti White, 1879, Mes. zeteki Harris Drake, 1941...
Having conquered water surfaces worldwide, the semi-aquatic bugs occupy ponds, streams, lakes, mangroves, and even open oceans. The diversity of this group has inspired a range scientific studies from ecology evolution to developmental genetics hydrodynamics fluid locomotion. However, lack representative strider genome hinders our ability more thoroughly investigate molecular mechanisms underlying processes adaptation diversification within group. Here we report sequencing manual annotation...

Growth control scales morphological attributes and, therefore, provides a critical contribution to the evolution of adaptive traits. Yet, genetic mechanisms underlying growth in context specific ecological adaptations are poorly understood. In water striders, adaptation locomotion on surface is associated with allometric and functional changes thoracic appendages, such that T2-legs, used as propelling oars, longer than T3-legs, steering rudders. The Hox gene Ubx establishes this derived...
Abstract Key innovations enable access to new adaptive zones and are often linked increased species diversification. As such, have attracted much attention, yet their concrete consequences on the subsequent evolutionary trajectory diversification of bearing lineages remain unclear. Water striders relatives (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Gerromorpha) represent a monophyletic lineage insects that transitioned live water–air interface diversified occupy ponds, puddles, streams, mangroves even oceans....

A mix-breed had acute right hindlimb lameness caused proximal both heads with hematoma.

Abstract How novel genetic interactions evolve, under what selective pressures, and how they shape adaptive traits is often unknown. Here we uncover behavioural developmental mechanisms that enable water striders to survive attacks by bottom-striking predators. Long midlegs, critical for antipredator strategy, are shaped through a lineage-specific interaction between the Hox protein Ultrabithorax (Ubx) new target gene called gilt . The differences in leg morphologies established modulation...
Sexual conflict may result in the escalating coevolution of sexually antagonistic traits. However, our understanding evolutionary dynamics traits and their role association with sex-specific escalation remains limited. Here we study a genus water striders called Rhagovelia. We identified set male grasping female anti-grasping used during pre-mating struggles show that natural variation these is associated mating performance direction expected for coevolution.

Sexual conflict occurs when traits favoured in one sex impose fitness costs on the other sex. In case of sexual over mating rate, sexes often undergo antagonistic coevolution and escalation that enhance females' resistance to superfluous increase males' persistence. How this sexually is established during ontogeny remains unclear. water strider Rhagovelia antilleana, male persistence consist combs forelegs multiple rows spines a thick femur rear legs.

Abstract Key innovations play a central role in the diversification of lineages, yet our understanding mechanisms underlying their emergence remains fragmented. The propelling fan is key innovation associated with Rhagovelia water striders into fast flowing streams. Here, we show that single giant cell responsible for development throughout embryogenesis. RNA interference against fan-specific gene family gsha / mogsha depleted embryo but did not alter cell, indicating these genes are...
The intra-articular reconstruction of the cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) by an organic graft or a synthetic implant allows restoration physiological stifle stability. This treatment is still marginal in routine practice. A Rottweiler presented acute complete CrCL rupture treated using ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) implant. latter was positioned under arthroscopic guidance and fixed with interference screws through femoral tibial bone tunnels. dog weight-bearing just...
Abstract The biochemical heterogeneity of food items often yields tradeoffs as each bite tends to contain some nutrients in surplus and others deficit, well other less palatable or even toxic compounds. These multidimensional nutritional challenges are likely be compounded when foraged foods used provision (e.g., offspring symbionts) with different physiological needs tolerances. We explored these free‐ranging colonies leafcutter ants that navigate a diverse tropical forest collect plant...
While ants are dominant consumers in terrestrial habitats, only the leafcutters practice herbivory. Leafcutters do this by provisioning a fungal cultivar (Leucoagaricus gongylophorus) with freshly cut plant fragments and harnessing its metabolic machinery to convert mulch into edible tissue (hyphae swollen hyphal cells called gongylidia). The is known degrade cellulose, but whether it assimilates ubiquitous recalcitrant molecule nutritional reward structures unknown. We use vitro experiments...
