Insects have been around for millions of years, but their evolutionary relationships are still not fully known. Now, researchers from Japan have discovered that an old insect lineage can contribute to ...

Researchers report a developmental model for reconstructing the complex and elaborate vein patterns seen in insect wings. The study of vein formation in insect wings has previously focused on primary ...

Temperature-dependent development models quantify the influence of ambient temperature on the life-cycle progression of insects, enabling prediction of stage-specific rates such as egg hatch, larval ...

The concept of a ‘plasmid’ was first introduced by Joshua Lederberg in 1952. Since that time, it has become widely recognized as a circular DNA able to viably function as a carrier for introducing a ...
