Diptera

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    pH control in the midgut of Aedes aegypti under different nutritional conditions
    Denise Barguil Nepomuceno, Vânia Cristina Santos, Ricardo Nascimento Araújo, Marcos Horácio Pereira, Maurício Roberto Sant'Anna, Luciano Andrade Moreira, Nelder Figueiredo Gontijo
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3355-3362; doi: 10.1242/jeb.158956

    Summary: pH in Aedes midgut is finely controlled according to the nutritional condition of the insect. Hormone release and perception of proteins inside the lumen are involved in the process.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Hemolymph circulation in insect flight appendages: physiology of the wing heart and circulatory flow in the wings of the mosquito Anopheles gambiae
    Ravi Theja V. Chintapalli, Julián F. Hillyer
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 3945-3951; doi: 10.1242/jeb.148254

    Summary: Mosquitoes employ an auxiliary heart, located underneath the thoracic scutellum, to systematically propel hemolymph (insect blood) throughout the veins of the wings.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    CCAP and FMRFamide-like peptides accelerate the contraction rate of the antennal accessory pulsatile organs (auxiliary hearts) of mosquitoes
    Julia M. Suggs, Talitha H. Jones, Steven C. Murphree, Julián F. Hillyer
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 2388-2395; doi: 10.1242/jeb.141655

    Summary: Three insect neuropeptides accelerate the contraction rate of the antennal hearts of mosquitoes, as well as the velocity of hemolymph in the antennal space.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The speed and metabolic cost of digesting a blood meal depends on temperature in a major disease vector
    Marshall D. McCue, Leigh Boardman, Susana Clusella-Trullas, Elsje Kleynhans, John S. Terblanche
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 1893-1902; doi: 10.1242/jeb.138669

    Summary: Respirometry reveals that higher environmental temperatures reduce the metabolic costs of digestion but hasten starvation, and behavioral measurements show that tsetse flies switch between thermal optima throughout feeding cycles.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Comparative structural and functional analysis of the larval and adult dorsal vessel and its role in hemolymph circulation in the mosquito Anopheles gambiae
    Garrett P. League, Ogechukwu C. Onuh, Julián F. Hillyer
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 370-380; doi: 10.1242/jeb.114942
  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Cardioacceleratory function of the neurohormone CCAP in the mosquito Anopheles gambiae
    Tania Y. Estévez-Lao, Dacia S. Boyce, Hans-Willi Honegger, Julián F. Hillyer
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2013 216: 601-613; doi: 10.1242/jeb.077164
  • JOURNAL ARTICLES
    The Kinematics and Aerodynamics of the Free Flight of some Diptera
    A. ROLAND ENNOS
    Journal of Experimental Biology 1989 142: 49-85;
