The genome of the model beetle and pest Tribolium castaneum
Tribolium castaneum is a member of the most species-rich eukaryotic order, a powerful model organism for the study of generalized insect development, and an important pest of stored agricultural…

Functional and Evolutionary Insights from the Genomes of Three Parasitoid Nasonia Species
TLDR
Key findings include the identification of a functional DNA methylation tool kit; hymenopteran-specific genes including diverse venoms; lateral gene transfers among Pox viruses, Wolbachia, and Nasonia; and the rapid evolution of genes involved in nuclear-mitochondrial interactions that are implicated in speciation.

Genomics, transcriptomics, and peptidomics of Daphnia pulex neuropeptides and protein hormones.
We report 43 novel genes in the water flea Daphnia pulex encoding 73 predicted neuropeptide and protein hormones as partly confirmed by RT-PCR. MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry identified 40 neuropeptides…

Genomics, transcriptomics, and peptidomics of neuropeptides and protein hormones in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum.
TLDR
The authors' analysis of Tribolium indicates that, during insect evolution, genes for neuropeptides and protein hormones are often duplicated or lost.

Biology of the CAPA peptides in insects
TLDR
The current knowledge on the structure, distribution, receptors and physiological actions of the CAPA peptides are discussed, including the first insect neuropeptides shown to be differentially processed.

Energy Homeostasis Control in Drosophila Adipokinetic Hormone Mutants
TLDR
CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome engineering is employed to create AKH and AKH plus APRP-specific mutants in the model insect Drosophila melanogaster to provide evidence for a negative autoregulatory loop in Akh gene regulation.

Unique features of a global human ectoparasite identified through sequencing of the bed bug genome
TLDR
Genome sequencing and annotation establish a solid foundation for future research on mechanisms of insecticide resistance, human-bed bug and symbiont–bed bug associations, and unique features of bed bug biology that contribute to the unprecedented success of C. lectularius as a human ectoparasite.
