Zinc finger proteins facilitate adaptation of a global insect pest to climate change by Tianpu Li, Jiao Guo, Guilei Hu, Fang Cao, Haiyin Su, Mengdi Shen, Huimin Wang, Minsheng You, Yuanyuan Liu, Geoff M. Gurr, Shijun You

“…Abstract Background Global climate change significantly impacts ecosystems, particularly through temperature fluctuations that affect insect physiology and behavior. As poikilotherms, insect pests such as the globally devastating diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella, are especially vulnerable to rising temperatures and extreme heat events, necessitating effective adaptive mechanisms. …”

Studies on Microbial Quality, Protein Yield, and Antioxidant Properties of Some Frozen Edible Insects by Peter Kurdi, Patspon Chaowiwat, Jirathit Weston, Chanida Hansawasdi

“…Yeasts and mold as well as Enterobacteriaceae numbers were found to be no more than 6.3 and 6.6 log cfu/g, respectively, while Clostridium spp. enumeration detected 3.2-3.6 cfu per gram frozen insect samples. The protein content in cases of cricket and bamboo caterpillar after the Soxhlet defatting method and the Folch lipid extraction combined with isoelectric point precipitation were similar when compared at pH 3.5 or pH 4.5. …”

Comprehensive genome annotation of Trilocha varians, a new model species of Lepidopteran insects by Jung Lee, Toshiaki Fujimoto, Katsushi Yamaguchi, Shuji Shigenobu, Ken Sahara, Toru Shimada

“…Since T. varians has a considerably shorter generation period than the prevailing model species, Bombyx mori, this species would be a novel model insect in Lepidoptera. To facilitate further use of T. varians, we developed genome annotation information on the chromosome-scale assembly of T. varians previously published by our group. 9 RNA-seq datasets and 2 Iso-seq datasets were submitted for transcriptome-based gene prediction. …”
