••
TL;DR: Esterases in organophosphate susceptible and resistant houseflies were studied by means of sensitive Gomori method and the addition of heat-inactivated homogenate strongly enhanced the ali-esterase activity to α-naphthylacetate, causing the disappearance of the disproportionality initially observed between enzyme concentration and activity.
874 citations
••
TL;DR: This review brings the reader up to date with both pure and applied research in the field and provides a detailed overview of present thinking into the mode of action of azadirachtin.
844 citations
••
TL;DR: This review brings together current knowledge on the uptake mechanisms of dsRNA in insects and the potential of RNAi to affect pest insects, highlighting the achievement of implementing RNAi in insect control with the first successful experiments in transgenic plants and the diversity of successfully tested insect orders/species and target genes.

••
TL;DR: The ontogeny of diapause was reviewed and the most often used terms and the best substantiated phases were highlighted, explained and re-defined to propose relatively simple and generally applicable terminological system.

TL;DR: Despite a large variation in the data, trends that are found are that RNAi is particularly successful in the family Saturniidae and in genes involved in immunity and that gene expression in epidermal tissues seems to be most difficult to silence.
