The mayfly subimago explained. The regulation of metamorphosis in Ephemeroptera

O. Kamsoi, A. Ventos-Alfonso, I. Almudi, F. Casares, X. Belles

This study investigates the subimago stage in mayflies, finding that it is an adult instar and that metamorphosis is determined before subimago formation.

Zelda and the evolution of insect metamorphosis

A. Ventos-Alfonso, G. Ylla, X. Belles

This study examines Zelda's role in Blattella germanica, showing it activates the zygotic genome during the maternal-to-zygotic transition, a function conserved in holometabolan insects but not extended to postembryonic stages in hemimetabolan species.

Hemimetabolous genomes reveal molecular basis of termite eusociality

M. C. Harrison, E. Jongepier, H. M. Robertson, N. Arning, T. Bitard-Feildel, H. Chao, C. P. Childers, H. Dinh, H. Doddapaneni, S. Dugan, J. Gowin, C. Greiner, Y. Han, H. Hu, D. S. T. Hughes, , E. Bornberg-Bauer

The paper compares genomes and transcriptomes of termites and cockroaches to identify molecular mechanisms underlying termite eusociality, finding parallels and differences with Hymenoptera.
