Tribolium castaneum has a long history as a model species in many distinct subject areas,
but improved connections among the genetics, genomics, behavioral, ecological, and pest …

Flour beetles of the genus Tribolium have been utilised as informative study systems for over
a century and contributed to major advances across many fields. This review serves to …

Fluorescence microscopy is a key driver of discoveries in the life sciences, with observable
phenomena being limited by the optics of the microscope, the chemistry of the fluorophores …

With climate change creating a more volatile atmosphere, heatwaves that create thermal
stress for living systems will become stronger and more frequent. Using the flour beetle …

Background The red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum has emerged as an important model
organism for the study of gene function in development and physiology, for ecological and …

During gastrulation, physical forces reshape the simple embryonic tissue to form the
complex body plans of multicellular organisms. These forces often cause large-scale …

Vertebrate segmentation relies on a mechanism characterized by oscillating gene
expression. Whether this mechanism is used by other segmented animals has been …

In holometabolous insects, extensive reorganisation of tissues and cells occurs at the pupal
stage. The remodelling of the external exoskeleton and internal organs that intervenes …

In invertebrates, a heterodimer of xenobiotic transcription factors, cap n collar C isoform
(CncC) and muscle aponeurosis fibromatosis (Maf) mediate cellular defense. In insects …

Many animal embryos pull and close an epithelial sheet around the ellipsoidal egg surface
during a gastrulation process known as epiboly. The ovoidal geometry dictates that the …
