Rebecca R. Westwick, Armin P. Moczek
The paper examines how sex, body size, and cognitive performance relate to brain gene expression in dung beetles, finding sex affects spatial cognition and body size impacts detour task performance.
Erica M. Nadolski, Armin P. Moczek
The paper investigates how chromatin architecture and gene regulation contribute to trait-specific sexual dimorphism in horned beetles by analyzing gene expression and chromatin accessibility across multiple traits.
Joshua A. Jones, Armin P. Moczek, Irene L. G. Newton
This study identifies the metabolic capabilities of the dung beetle microbiome in compensating for dietary limitations by synthesizing amino acids and breaking down plant polysaccharides.

The paper investigates Hox gene expression and function in the head of horned beetles, finding conserved expression patterns despite genomic rearrangements and a novel adult head patterning role for labial.
London C. Mitchell, Armin P. Moczek, Erica M. Nadolski
This study investigates the somatic sex determination pathway in dung beetles, showing that RNAi targeting transformer induces male-like traits in chromosomal females, supporting conservation of some mechanisms while highlighting evolutionary divergence in others.

The paper investigates L-2-hydroxyglutarate (L-2HG) accumulation in 18 insect species, finding high levels in Dipterans and suggesting a potential role in their development and pest control.
