IN his interesting communication respecting the relations supposed to exist between Trigona and Membracis, Dr. H. Muller appears to have overlooked the Abbe Boisier's observation (Kirby and Spence, “Introduction to Entomology,” 7th edition, p. 384) that hive-bees will collect the honey-dew excreted by Aphides.

Aphid transmission of nanoviruses [PDF]
AbstractThe genus Nanovirus consists of plant viruses that predominantly infect legumes leading to devastating crop losses. Nanoviruses are transmitted by various aphid species. The transmission occurs in a circulative nonpropagative manner. It was long suspected that a virus‐encoded helper factor would be needed for successful transmission by aphids ...

Plant Genes Benefitting Aphids—Potential for Exploitation in Resistance Breeding
Aphids are phloem sap-feeding insects common as pests in various crops. Here we review 62 omics studies of aphid/plant interactions to search for indications of how aphids may manipulate the plants to make them more suitable as hosts, i.e.

AMONG other misstatements in Dr. Bree's “Fallacies of Darwinism,” so ably criticised by Mr. Wallace in NATURE of July 25, occurs the following:—“All the stories about aphides being treated as milch-cows are myths, the result of inaccurate observation” (p. 166).

The nutritional value of aphid honeydew for non-aphid parasitoids [PDF]
Intake of sugar-rich foods by adult parasitoids is crucial for their reproductive success. Hence, the availability of suitable foods should enhance the efficacy of parasitoids as biological control agents. In situations where nectar is not readily available, homopteran honeydew can be a key alternative food source.

Members of the genus Rickettsiella are bacterial pathogens of insects and other arthropods. Recently, a novel facultative endosymbiont, “Candidatus Rickettsiella viridis,” was described in the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum, whose infection causes a ...

Improved Genome Assembly and Annotation of the Soybean Aphid (Aphis glycines Matsumura)
Aphids are an economically important insect group due to their role as plant disease vectors. Despite this economic impact, genomic resources have only been generated for a small number of aphid species.

Previously, sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) was developed as a vector for transient expression of heterologous genes in Zea mays (maize). Here, we show that SCMV can also be applied for virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) of endogenous maize genes ...
