Abstract Background Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) is one of the most geographically widespread insect orders in world, its species play important diverse ecological applied roles. Climate change biggest challenges to biodiversity this century, lepidopterans are vulnerable climate change. Temperature-dependent gene expression differences relevance under ongoing crisis. However, little known about how affects consequences this, particularly with respect genes biased sexes. The common yellow butterfly, Eurema hecabe (Family Pieridae) , that can be found Asia, Africa, Australia. Nevertheless, what temperature-dependent effects there may whether differ between sexes remain largely unexplored. Results Here, we generated high-quality genomic resources for E. along transcriptomes from eight developmental stages. Male female butterflies were subjected varying temperatures assess sex-specific responses through mRNA microRNA transcriptomics. We find more sex-biased females than males, including involved a range biologically functions, highlighting potential impacts increased temperatures. Further, by considering available butterfly data on comparative framework, pattern identified highly species-specific, rather conserved across species, suggesting complex butterflies. Conclusions Our study lays foundation further understanding differential environmental stress lepidopteran model demonstrates complexity

Ecdysis is an innate behaviour programme by which all arthropods moult their exoskeletons. The complex suite of interacting neuropeptides that orchestrate ecdysis well studied in insects, but details the crustacean cassette are fragmented and our understanding this process comparatively crude, preventing a meaningful evolutionary comparison. To begin to address issue we identified transcripts coding for putative receptors central nervous system (CNS) Y-organs (YO) within crab, Carcinus maenas, mapped expression profiles across accurately defined stages cycle using RNA-sequencing. We also gene epidermally-derived YO, only role synthesis ecdysteroid moulting hormones, elucidate peptides G protein-coupled (GPCRs) might have function ecdysis. Transcriptome mining CNS transcriptome yielded neuropeptide representing 47 families 66 GPCRs. Neuropeptide were differentially expressed included carcikinin, hyperglycemic hormone-2, cardioactive peptide, whilst single receptor, proctolin R1, was expressed. Carcikinin mRNA particular exhibited dramatic increases pre-moult, suggesting regulation. Crustacean hormone-2 elevated post- pre-moult regulates insect plays stereotyped motor activity during ecdysis, pre-moult. In several receptor cycle, as neuropeptide, neuroparsin-1. Whilst differential expected, discovery surprising.

Multiple biological processes across development and reproduction are modulated by neuropeptides that predominantly produced secreted from an animal's central nervous system. In the past few years, advancement of next-generation sequencing technologies has enabled large-scale prediction putative neuropeptide genes in multiple non-model species, including commercially important decapod crustaceans. contrast, knowledge G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), through which act on target cells, is still very limited. current study, we have used silico transcriptome analysis to elucidate encoding GPCRs Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus), one most valuable crustaceans Europe. Fifty-seven precursor-encoding transcripts were detected, phoenixin, a vertebrate neurohormone not been detected any invertebrate species prior this study. Neuropeptide gene expression immature mature female N. norvegicus, revealed some reproduction-related almost exclusively expressed females. addition, total 223 GPCR-encoding identified, 116 encode GPCR-A (Rhodopsin), 44 GPCR-B (Secretin) 63 other GPCRs. Our findings increase molecular toolbox neural signaling components allowing for further advances fisheries/larvae culture species.
