A serine‐rich salivary protein facilitates brown planthopper feeding and survival by mediating salivary sheath formation
The piercing‐sucking pest, brown planthopper ( Nilaparvata lugens , BPH), poses a severe and persistent threat to rice in China and across Asia. During feeding, BPHs secrete salivary proteins to form salivary sheaths, which are crucial f...

Disruption of paramyosin compromises muscle integrity and alters systemic trehalose metabolism in Helicoverpa armigera
Trehalose is a principal circulating sugar in insects, maintaining a critical balance between energy supply and storage through systemic insulin signalling. Among different tissues, insect muscle functions as a metabolic hub, coordinatin...

The anchor and the architect: Merging gene drive, membrane tethering and generative AI for next‐generation vector control
The recent success of gene drive mosquitoes suppressing malaria signals a new era in vector control. Yet, reliance on secreted, natural peptides poses risks of instability, host toxicity and resistance evolution. We propose synthesizing ...

A conserved miR ‐281‐x is associated with self‐grooming behaviour in Apis cerana
Self‐grooming behaviour is a crucial adaptation in honey bees for maintaining individual hygiene and combating parasite infestations. The miRNA‐mediated influence on self‐grooming behaviour has been recently demonstrated in Apis mellifer...

Geomagnetic intensity variation and deprivation elicit distinct transcriptomic responses in a migratory insect
Geomagnetic field intensity varies along migratory routes; however, whether migratory insects respond similarly to intensity shifts and geomagnetic deprivation remains unclear. We compared transcriptomes of brown planthoppers, Nilaparvat...

Binding characteristics and physicochemical basis of C ‐minus odorant‐binding protein 8 in western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis , with various host vegetable volatiles
Western flower thrips (WFT), Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), is a globally invasive polyphagous pest that relies on olfaction to sense host plants. Odorant‐binding proteins (OBPs) in insect sensillar lymp...

Integrative transcriptomic and machine learning approaches reveal candidate genes for silk and venom production in B ibionomorpha ( D iptera)
Insects display adaptive diversity in their secretory systems, which mediate ecological interactions ranging from defence to adhesion. Within Diptera, the co‐occurrence of silk and venom represents a rare functional combination. Here, we...

Bmlebocin3 could inhibit Bombyx mori cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus in silkworms via the immune deficiency pathway and through the 20‐hydroxyecdysone modulations
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are critical components of the innate immune system in insects, but their regulation and contribution to antiviral defence remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the expression, antiviral a...

The role of neuronal protein NOS in regulation of magnetic orientation in the subterranean termite Odontotermes formosanus
Magnetic orientation is essential for subterranean termites during foraging and homing. Although neuronal mechanisms are known to be central to magnetoreception, the specific regulatory proteins involved in this process remain unclear. H...
