This study shows that the N-terminal domain of dystroglycan is required for LARGE1 to extend matriglycan to its full length, preventing muscular dystrophy.

The paper compares DNA variation between two Tribolium castaneum strains with different death-feigning durations to identify genes associated with this behavior.

The paper investigates the genetic basis of death-feigning behavior in Tribolium castaneum through reciprocal crosses, finding polygenic control rather than mono-major gene inheritance.

The study examines circadian rhythm traits in red flour beetles across Japan, finding weaker rhythms in northern areas but no variation in period.

This study examines if genetic correlations between movement and immobility traits observed in lab experiments persist in wild beetle populations and finds they do not.

This study examines how aging affects locomotor activity and foraging ability in the assassin bug Amphibolus venator, finding that while locomotor activity decreases, foraging ability increases with age.
