Cascading effects of host plant inbreeding on the larval growth, muscle molecular composition, and flight capacity of an adult herbivorous insect
A primary function of adult winged insects is dispersal. Limiting larval dietary intake (partial
starvation) has been shown to affect the flight muscle metabolism of adult moths reared on …

Host plant defense produces species-specific alterations to flight muscle protein structure and flight-related fitness traits of two armyworms
Insects manifest phenotypic plasticity in their development and behavior in response to plant
defenses, via molecular mechanisms that produce tissue-specific changes. Phenotypic …

Fluctuating starvation conditions modify host-symbiont relationship between a leaf beetle and its newly identified gregarine species
Gregarines are ubiquitous endosymbionts in invertebrates, including terrestrial insects.
However, the biodiversity of gregarines is probably vastly underestimated and the …
