The insects get infected by coprophagy and transovum transmission ofcysts. The main goal of the present study was to investigate the effects of a natural infection byon the hemipteran insect, by comparing infected and uninfected individuals in a controlled environment. The-infected individuals ...
However, it is also possible that the extreme foraging behavior of lactating female bats that must consume up to 50% of their body weight in insect prey daily exposes them to greater risks of predation or energetic stress than males. Thus, the longer life of males could be due to ...
A prediction arising from several evolutionary diet breadth models is that, in insect herbivores whose adults practise adaptive host plant selection based
The fast-slow continuum is the dominant axis of life-history variation in tetrapods. Fast-living species are characterized by fast growth, high reproductive rates, high aging rates and short lifespans, compared to their slow-living counterparts1,2,3. Among tetrapods, the most extreme example fo...
Excess consumption of high-fat diet (HFD) is likely to result in obesity and increases the predisposition to associated health disorders. Drosophila melanogaster has emerged as an important model to study the effects of HFD on metabolism, gut function, behavior, and ageing. In this study, we in...
