Results showed that treatment with either dibutyryl cAMP (dbcAMP) or 1-methyl-3-isobutylxanthine (MIX) inhibited phosphorylation of adenosine 5′-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and activated phosphorylation of the translational repressor, 4E-binding protein (4E-BP), a marker of target of rapamycin (TOR) signaling. A chemical activator of AMPK (5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-β-d-ribofuranoside, AICAR) increased dbcAMP-inhibited AMPK phosphorylation and blocked dbcAMP-stimulated phosphorylation of 4E-BP, indicating that inhibition of AMPK phosphorylation lies upstream of dbcAMP-stimulated TOR signaling. Treatment of PGs with dbcAMP and MIX also stimulated phosphorylation of a 37-kDa protein, as recognized by a protein kinase C (PKC) substrate antibody, indicating that cAMP activates PKC signaling. Treatment with either LY294002 or AICAR did not affect dbcAMP-stimulated phosphorylation of the PKC-dependent 37-kDa protein, indicating that cAMP-stimulated PKC signaling is not related to phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) or AMPK. In addition, dbcAMP-stimulated ecdysteroidogenesis in PGs was partially inhibited by pretreatment with either LY294002, AICAR, or calphostin C.

Large males are usually produced in colonies and have advantages in competition for mating and fertilisation. However, distinct small-sized males were produced depending on the colony conditions, particularly under queen-less conditions. Understanding the reproductive traits of small-sized males is currently limited, but it may provide insight into the developmental patterns and reproductive strategies that maximise reproductive success depending on body size and colony conditions. This study evaluated the process of sexual maturation in large- and small-sized males and the allometry between reproductive traits and body size. Changes in reproductive traits, including reproductive organs, number of spermatozoa, and sperm density, occurred earlier in small-sized males than in large-sized males after emergence. These results suggest that small males are precocious. The relatively early development of small-sized males would reflect the low developmental cost, which is likely to allow the production of many males and ensure reproductive success under circumstances in which available resources are limited. Furthermore, reproductive traits were positively correlated with body size, but allometry was different for these traits. Hence, the findings suggest that there is a given investment pattern toward reproductive traits with increasing body size, which would be responsible for high mating and fertilisation success in large males.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16189,"journal":{"name":"Journal of insect physiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10138982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Plastics are made of several chemical additives, including bisphenol and phthalate plasticizers such as bisphenol A (BPA) and Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP). In some animal species, both BPA and DEHP are known as endocrine disruptor compounds, and can alter physiological and metabolic homeostasis, reproduction, development and/or behavior. To date, the impacts of BPA and DEHP have mainly focused on vertebrates, and to a lesser extent, on aquatic invertebrates. Yet, the few studies which examined the effects of DEHP on terrestrial insects also revealed the impacts this pollutant can have on development, hormone titrations, and metabolic profiles. In particular, it has been hypothesized in the Egyptian cotton leafworm <em>Spodoptera littoralis</em> that the observed metabolic alterations could result from the energetic costs necessary for DEHP detoxification or to the dysregulation of hormonally-controlled enzymatic activities. To get additional insights into the physiological effects of bisphenol and phthalate plasticizers on the moth <em>S. littoralis</em>, larvae were fed with food contaminated by BPA, DEHP, or the mixture of both compounds. Then, activities of four glycolytic enzymes, hexokinase, phosphoglucose isomerase, phosphofructokinase, and pyruvate kinase were measured. BPA and/or DEHP had no effects on the activities of phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase. Conversely, BPA-contaminated larvae were characterized by a 1.9-fold increase in phosphoglucose isomerase activity, and BPA + DEHP-fed larvae had highly variable hexokinase activity. Overall, since no disruption of glycolytic enzyme was observed in DEHP-contaminated larvae, our work tended to demonstrate that exposure to bisphenol and DEHP increased the amount of oxidative stress experienced.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16189,"journal":{"name":"Journal of insect physiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10179596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several species, including <em>Drosophila montana</em>, show robust latitudinal variation in the critical day length (CDL), below which more than half of the emerging females enter reproductive diapause at a given temperature. Here we used a novel approach to find out whether <em>D. montana</em> also shows latitudinal variation in the critical temperature (CTemp), above which the photoperiodic regulation of diapause is disturbed so that the females develop ovaries in daylengths that are far below their CDL. We estimated CTemp for 53 strains from different latitudes on 3 continents after measuring their diapause proportions at a range of temperatures in 12 h daylength (for 29 of the strains also in continuous darkness). In 12 h daylength, CTemp increased towards high latitudes alongside an increase in CDL, and in 3 high-latitude strains diapause proportion exceeded 50% in all temperatures. In continuous darkness, the diapause proportion was above 50% in the lowest temperature(s) in only 9 strains, all of which came from high latitudes. In the second part of the study, we measured changes in CTemp and CDL in a selection experiment favouring reproduction in short daylength (photoperiodic selection) and by exercising selection for females that reproduce in LD12:12 at low temperature (photoperiodic and temperature selection). In both experiments selection induced parallel changes in CDL and CTemp, confirming correlations seen between these traits along latitudinal clines. Overall, our findings suggest that selection towards strong photoperiodic diapause and long CDL at high latitudes has decreased the dependency of <em>D. montana</em> diapause on environmental temperature.
