Genes responsible for avoiding attack of a beetle, relating to the duration of death feigning

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

Polygene control and trait dominance in death-feigning syndrome in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum

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.

Amplitude of circadian rhythms becomes weaker in the north, but there is no cline in the period of rhythm in a beetle

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

Is there a genetic correlation between movement and immobility in field populations of a beetle?

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.

Dose old age lead to gluttony? Effects of aging on predation and locomotion in the assassin bug Amphibolus venator.

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.
