Cockroach bacteriocytes migrate into the ovaries for vertical transmission of the bacterial endosymbiont Blattabacterium

Tomohito Noda, Toshiyuki Harumoto, Tatsuya Katsuno, Minoru Moriyama, Takema Fukatsu

The paper investigates the migration of bacteriocytes into cockroach ovaries during postembryonic development, revealing how symbiont transmission occurs through nymphal stages and inter-oocyte movement.

Uric acid accumulation in cockroach wings

Tomohito Noda, Minoru Moriyama, Toshiyuki Harumoto, Tatsuya Katsuno, Takema Fukatsu

This study identifies uric acid accumulation in cockroach wings, showing it is present in multiple species and reversibly affected by feeding and starvation.

No association between metabolic rate and an exaggerated sexually selected trait

Kentarou Matsumura, Tomohito Noda, Manmohan D. Sharma, Kensuke Okada, Takahisa Miyatake, David J. Hosken

The paper tests if weapon size in beetles is energetically costly by examining associations with metabolic rate, finding no significant link but identifying genetic and developmental influences on weapon size.

Frequent and asymmetric cell division in endosymbiotic bacteria of cockroaches

Tomohito Noda, Masaki Mizutani, Toshiyuki Harumoto, Tatsuya Katsuno, Ryuichi Koga, Takema Fukatsu

This paper reports that Blattabacterium, an endosymbiont of cockroaches, exhibits frequent and asymmetric cell division, unlike other uncultivable symbiotic bacteria.
