This study identifies the octopamine beta2 receptor as a target to disrupt mosquito reproduction but shows that amitraz, an agonist, is ineffective as a mating disruptor.

This study investigates the role of GABA and its receptor RDL in the auditory system of malaria mosquitoes, revealing mechanical and electrical effects on auditory sensitivity and mating behavior.

The paper identifies octopamine as a regulator of mosquito hearing during swarm time and shows it can be targeted by insecticides.

The paper identifies age-related genome rearrangements in non-dividing fission yeast cells, linking them to R-loops and regulatory changes, and finds similar patterns in human brain cells.

The paper identifies natural genetic variants associated with longevity in fission yeast by analyzing segregant pools and genome sequencing during aging.
