Data Processing System (DPS) software with experimental design, statistical analysis and data mining developed for use in entomological research

Qiyi Tang, Chuan‐Xi Zhang · 1 Jun 2012

A comprehensive but simple-to-use software package called DPS (Data Processing System) has been developed to execute a range of standard numerical analyses and operations used in experimental design, statistics and data mining. This program runs on standard Windows computers. Many of the functions are specific to entomological and other biological research and are not found…

The insect cellular immune response

Michael R. Strand · 22 Jan 2008

Abstract The innate immune system of insects is divided into humoral defenses that include the production of soluble effector molecules and cellular defenses like phagocytosis and encapsulation that are mediated by hemocytes. This review summarizes current understanding of the cellular immune response. Insects produce several terminally differentiated types of hemocytes that are distinguished by morphology,…

Indirect plant defense against insect herbivores: a review

Zainab Aljbory, Ming‐Shun Chen · 30 Dec 2016

Plants respond to herbivore attack by launching 2 types of defenses: direct defense and indirect defense. Direct defense includes all plant traits that increase the resistance of host plants to insect herbivores by affecting the physiology and/or behavior of the attackers. Indirect defense includes all traits that by themselves do not have significant direct impact…

Inducible direct plant defense against insect herbivores: A review

Ming‐Shun Chen · 1 Apr 2008

Abstract Plants respond to insect herbivory with responses broadly known as direct defenses, indirect defenses, and tolerance. Direct defenses include all plant traits that affect susceptibility of host plants by themselves. Overall categories of direct plant defenses against insect herbivores include limiting food supply, reducing nutrient value, reducing preference, disrupting physical structures, and inhibiting chemical…

Age‐stage, two‐sex life tables of <i>Bactrocera cucurbitae</i> (Coquillett) (Diptera: Tephritidae) with a discussion on the problem of applying female age‐specific life tables to insect populations

Yu‐Bing Huang, Hsin Chı · 28 Aug 2011

Abstract Age‐stage, two‐sex life tables of the melon fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillett) (Diptera: Tephritidae), reared on cucumber ( Cucumis sativus L.), sponge gourd ( Luffa cylindrica Roem) and a carrot medium (mashed Daucus carota L. mixed with sucrose and yeast hydrolysate) were constructed under laboratory conditions at 25 ± 1°C, 65%± 0.5% relative humidity, and…

Insect Science template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Insect Science format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Insect Science template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Insect Science use?
Insect Science uses Author–year (Chicago) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Insect Science 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Insect Science?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready Insect Science document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Insect Science template?
