Targeted re-sequencing confirms the importance of chemosensory genes in aphid host race differentiation. [PDF]
, 2016 Host-associated races of phytophagous insects provide a model for understanding how adaptation to a new environment can lead to reproductive isolation and speciation, ultimately enabling us to connect barriers to gene flow to adaptive causes of ...

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 11, Page 3181-3196, November 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), pathogens and insect pests usually colonize or infect the same plant. Besides, AMF changes plant defence enzymes and metabolites under multiple biotic stresses and alters the interrelationship between plant, pathogen and insect ...

Variation in Escape Behavior of Red and Green Clones of the Pea Aphid [PDF]
, 2018 Many insect species have evolved a number of antipredator tactics among which the animal can choose when attacked by a natural enemy. While it is known that individuals may differ in how the antipredator tactics are employed, quantitative studies are ...

Host-plant acceptance by aphids: cues initiating reproduction
, 2011 The host-plant acceptance behaviour of aphids was examined, in two aphid species, the bird cherry-oat aphid, Rhopalosiphum padi and the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphum pisum, to elucidate the recognition factors used to assess plant suitability for ...

Genomic and cytogenetic localization of the carotenoid genes in the aphid genome [PDF]
, 2016 Data published in the scientific literature suggests a possible link between chromosomal rearrangements involving autosomes 1 and 3 and the presence of red morphs in the peach-potato aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer).

Occupancy, spatial variance, and the abundance of species [PDF]
, 2003 A notable and consistent ecological observation known for a long time is that spatial variance in the abundance of a species increases with its mean abundance and that this relationship typically conforms well to a simple power law (Taylor 1961 ...

The chemical signatures underlying host plant discrimination by aphids
Scientific Reports, 2017 The diversity of phytophagous insects is largely attributable to speciation involving shifts between host plants. These shifts are mediated by the close interaction between insects and plant metabolites.

Parasitic wasp responses to symbiont-based defense in aphids
BMC Biology, 2012 Background Recent findings indicate that several insect lineages receive protection against particular natural enemies through infection with heritable symbionts, but little is yet known about whether enemies are able to discriminate and respond to ...
