Amino Acid Substitutions in the Na <sup>+</sup> /K <sup>+</sup> -ATPase May Contribute to Salinity Tolerance in Insects

2025-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Environmental salinity levels vary naturally across terrestrial ecosystems but can be heightened locally by coastal proximity and desertification as well as human activities such as road salt application and agriculture. Since salt is essential for many physiological processes in insects, rising environmental sodium concentrations may drive behavioral changes, where insects select environments and food sources wit...
