PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Anthropogenic facilitation of wild plants based on aesthetic preferences for particular traits can change the biogeography and ecology of natural communities. We use a mixed‐methods socioecological approach to characterize the ways in which humans interact with a common, widely distributed plant and a generalist viral symbiont that induces an ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.AgEcR, an ecdysone receptor from Aphis gossypii, is an RNA interference (RNAi) target. Artificial diet screening of five double ‐ stranded RNA fragments identified dsAgEcR2 targeting the D/E junction as the most potent. Transgenic goji expressing dsAgEcR2 caused molting defects and reduced fecundity, suppressing population growth and offering a ...

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2300-2311, April 2025.Light‐emitting diode (LED)‐based treatments for enhancing crop production and pest management have primarily focused on continuous treatments. This study, using Tetranychus urticae and Phytoseiulus persimilis, demonstrates that the timing of LED supplementation is crucial for designing integrated pest management strategies that improve both plant ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 In the last decade, the influence of microbial symbionts on ecological and physiological traits of their hosts has been increasingly recognized. However, most of these effects have been revealed under laboratory conditions, which oversimplifies the ...

Melatonin in the seasonal response of the aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum
Insect Science, 2018 AbstractAphids display life cycles largely determined by the photoperiod. During the warm long‐day seasons, most aphid species reproduce by viviparous parthenogenesis. The shortening of the photoperiod in autumn induces a switch to sexual reproduction. Males and sexual females mate to produce overwintering resistant eggs.

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders
Insect Science, EarlyView.Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Characterization of the dynamic microbiome evolution across thrips species
Insect Science, EarlyView.Comprehensive survey of the microbiome in thrips. The dominant bacterial genera found in thrips include intracellular ones, such as Wolbachia and Spiroplasma, and extracellular ones, including Serratia, Pantoea, and Acinetobacter. We isolated and sequenced high‐quality genomes of two dominant symbionts, Pantoea dispersa and Serratia marcescens.

Aphid and endosymbiont sensitivity to heatwaves is misaligned across life stages
Insect Science, EarlyView.Aphids depend on the obligate symbiont Buchnera aphidicola, which may constrain thermal tolerance. Using a factorial heatwave experiment, we exposed nymphs and adults to moderate or extreme temperatures and measured fitness and symbiont responses.
