Gut single‐nucleus RNA sequencing reveals that NPF receptor regulates feeding behavior through mitochondrial energy metabolism Knockout of NPFR affects oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS)-related genes in enteroendocrine cells, leading to reduced food intake and lower body weight in larvae.

Coevolutionary interactions between transposable elements and host silencing factors in genome gigantism of Caeliferans (Orthoptera) Genome gigantism in Caelifera is accompanied by a reduction in KRAB-ZFP host silencing factors, a slower loss of transposable elements (TEs), and maintained by TE–host silencing coevolution. While sm...

FoxO directly regulates the expression of odorant‐binding protein genes to mediate olfactory plasticity in response to starvation in Apis cerana cerana Our research investigates the mechanism by which internal energy states modulate olfactory sensitivity and preference in the Apis cerana cerana. We show that behavioral deficits in low-energy states ....
