Phenoloxidase: a key component of the insect immune system
TL;DR: Recent progress in PO research is reviewed and some basic directions for future investigation of PO are put forward aimed at explaining its activating system, its substrates, its coordination with other immune components to fight off pathogens, and variation in PO in relation to gender, life stages, seasonality, and across different host species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary ecology of Odonata: a complex life cycle perspective.
Robby Stoks,Alex Córdoba-Aguilar +1 more
TL;DR: An ontogenetic perspective is presented to analyze and summarize the complex life cycle of Odonata within an evolutionary ecology framework and underline the role of the identified numerical and carry-over effects in shaping population and metapopulation dynamics and the community structure across habitat boundaries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insect responses to heat: physiological mechanisms, evolution and ecological implications in a warming world.
Daniel González-Tokman,Alex Córdoba-Aguilar,Wesley Dáttilo,Andrés Lira-Noriega,Rosa Ana Sánchez-Guillén,Fabricio Villalobos +5 more
TL;DR: This review shows that, apart from the stress response mediated by heat shock proteins, the physiological mechanisms of heat tolerance in insects remain poorly studied, and emphasizes the importance of incorporating physiological information for modelling species distributions and ecological interactions under global warming scenarios.
