Different groups of insects diverged along the evolutionary history in the characteristics of their digestive systems. Over the past 30 years, our group has looked to understand these peculiarities in different insect orders. In this context, some of our results include differences in overall morphology, composition, synthesis and secretion rates of digestive enzymes, variations in the in…
Insecta is one of the most diverse and widely distributed groups of organisms in the world. This diversification is largely a result of insects' ability to explore a wide range of sources of energy, which is coupled to highly specialized digestive systems. Insect taxonomic groups differ on their gut morphophysiological characteristics, such as in their enzymatic and molecular transporters…
Noctuidae moths (Lepidoptera) are known by damages caused to different plants. This insect family comprises important pests, some of them with diets ranging from one to many hosts. The evolutionary process that led closed species to adapt to specialist or generalist behavior is not completely elucidated, especially regarding to the molecular mechanisms involved. It is known that during ev…
