The paper analyzes allometry in Oryctes rhinoceros, finding continuous nonlinear scaling and size-independent covariation between horn length and pronotal depression width.

The paper investigates how sexual dimorphism in wing color patterns of the harlequin ladybug evolves by analyzing the role of the doublesex gene and its regulation of the h gene.

The paper identifies pnd and pnd-2 as downstream genes required for diapause initiation in silkworm embryos, showing their expression dynamics and functional roles in response to diapause hormone signaling.

The paper develops fast-annealed 3'-extended dsDNA templates to improve CRISPR-Cas9-mediated knock-in efficiency in emerging model insects.

This study examines left-right asymmetry in the mouthparts of Doubledaya bucculenta, finding asymmetry in mandibles, genae, maxillae, and labium, with varying degrees and potential developmental influences.

This study analyzes the genome, transcriptome, and methylome of Reticulitermes speratus, showing gene duplication contributes to caste-specific functions and social evolution.

This paper presents the de novo genome and transcriptome of the Japanese rhinoceros beetle Trypoxylus dichotomus, providing comprehensive genomic resources for evolutionary and functional studies.

The paper identifies wing growth organizers in Gryllus bimaculatus and shows their role in wing development and evolution.

This study identifies genetic factors regulating the depth and 2D pattern of primordial furrows in rhinoceros beetle horns, showing they independently control the final 3D shape.

This study identifies diap1 as a more effective target for RNAi-based pest control due to its ability to rapidly reduce crop damage compared to conventional targets.
