Stretch activation properties of Drosophila and Lethocerus indirect flight muscle suggest similar calcium-dependent mechanisms.
Muscle stretch activation (SA) is critical for optimal cardiac and insect indirect flight muscle (IFM) power generation. The SA… (More)

Density-mediated indirect effects of a common prey tadpole on interaction between two predatory bugs: Kirkaldyia deyrolli and Laccotrephes japonensis
This paper suggests that the nymphs of a specialist predator, Kirkaldyia (=Lethocerus) deyrolli (Belostomatidae: Heteroptera… (More)

Troponin C in different insect muscle types: identification of two isoforms in Lethocerus, Drosophila and Anopheles that are specific to asynchronous flight muscle in the adult insect.
The indirect flight muscles (IFMs) of Lethocerus (giant water bug) and Drosophila (fruitfly) are asynchronous: oscillatory… (More)

Association of kettin with actin in the Z-disc of insect flight muscle.
The Z-discs of insect muscle contain kettin, a modular protein of 500-700 kDa. The Drosophila protein is made up of a chain of… (More)
