Carol A. Kelly, Effects of Variable Life History and Insect Herbivores on Reproduction in Solidago macrophylla (Asteraceae) on an Elevational Gradient, The American Midland Naturalist, Vol. 139, No. 2 ...

"This could cause a shift in their mating patterns, and reproductive rates are really important for population persistence." Researchers make troubling find while examining insect behavior: 'We're ...

Scientists have uncovered a set of neurons in fruit flies that shut down in cold temperatures and slow reproduction, a system conserved in many insects, including mosquitoes, which could provide a ...

Tropical insects are often already near the ceiling of their temperature tolerance, where an insect has to cope with so much heat damage that reproduction rates falter.

News How Bacteria Interfere with Insect Reproduction Scientists identify the genes responsible for bacteria-controlled sterility in arthropods.

And now, 29 million years later, they stand as a record of insect reproduction that could be unlike anything paleontologists had seen before.

Our study involved field and controlled-environment experimental tests of the impact on sexual and potential asexual reproduction of attack by individuals of the two herbivore species, individually ...

While reproduction is, obviously, very different in humans and insects, the fruit fly can be a model for understanding animal reproduction at a fundamental level. For example, the seminal fluid ...

“Many insect control programs focus on knocking back insect reproduction, rather than — or in addition to — killing the adults. In part this is because reproductive suppression or disruption has a ...
