TRANSCRIPTOME CHARACTERIZATION OF DENDROLIMUS PUNCTATUS AND EXPRESSION PROFILES AT DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENTAL STAGES.

Transcriptome Characterization of Dendrolimus punctatus and Expression Profiles at Different Developmental Stages.

The pine moth Dendrolimus punctatus (Walker) is a common insect pest that confers serious damage to conifer forests in south of China.Extensive physiology and ecology studies on D.punctatus have been carried out, but the lack of genetic information has limited our understanding of the molecular mechanisms behind its development and resistance.Using

A histological survey of avian post-natal skeletal ontogeny

Bone histology of crown-group birds is a research topic of great interest, permitting insight into the evolution of remarkably high growth rates in this clade and variation across the altricial-precocial spectrum.In this study, we describe microanatomical characteristics of the humerus and femur in partial growth series from 14 crown group birds re
