A New Classification Framework to Understand Evolutionary Transitions in Individuality

BioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 1, January 2026.
Classifying biological entities based on whether and how the two fundamental aspects physiological and evolutionary components are represented yields six types of structural organization. The resulting framework allows to compare different forms of organization, and, in this way, provides insight into the evolutionary processes giving rise to these ...

Mechanisms for stable coexistence in an insect community

Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2010
In this paper, we formulate a three-speciesecological community model consisting of two aphid species ( Acyrthosiphon pisum and Megoura viciae) and a specialistparasitoid ( Aphidius ervi) that attacks only one of the aphids( A pisum).

A damping circadian clock drives weak oscillations in metabolism and locomotor activity of aphids (Acyrthosiphon pisum) [PDF]

, 2017
Timing seasonal events, like reproduction or diapause, is crucial for the survival of many species. Global change causes phenologies worldwide to shift, which requires a mechanistic explanation of seasonal time measurement.

Chemical Diversity of Three Endophytic Talaromyces Strains and Their Potential for Biocontrol against the Cocoa Pathogenic Fungus

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2026.
Chemical profiling of endophytic Talaromyces strains reveals specialized metabolites with agricultural relevance, underscoring their potential application in the biocontrol of cocoa plant pathogens. ABSTRACT Biological control using beneficial endophytic fungi is a sustainable alternative to agrochemicals for managing plant diseases.

Induction of RNAi core machinery's gene expression by exogenous dsRNA and the effects of pre-exposure to dsRNA on the gene silencing efficiency in the pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum) [PDF]

, 2019
The pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum, is an important agricultural pest and biological model organism, and RNA interference (RNAi) is an important tool for functional genomics and for insect pest management. However, the efficiency of RNAi in pea aphids is

The Mitochondrial Protein RESISTANCE to APHIDS 9 Interacts with S40 to Resist Aphid Infestation by Modulating Reactive Oxygen Species Homeostasis in Maize (Zea mays)

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 46, December 11, 2025.
This study identifies the mitochondrial protein RTA9, a member of the Domain of Unknown Function 641 family, together with its partner S40, as key regulators of aphid resistance in maize. RTA9 promotes S40 degradation and modulates reactive oxygen species accumulation.

Prey abundance and intraguild predation between Adalia bipunctata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) and Macrolophus pygmaeus (Hemiptera: Miridae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2015
Macrolophus pygmaeus Rambur (Hemiptera: Miridae) and Adalia bipunctata (L.) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) are two predatory insects commonly used as biological control agents.

Viral Systemic Movement Is Enhanced by Alteration of a Structural Phloem Protein by the Insect Vector

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 45, December 4, 2025.
Aphids release salivary protein GLD into plants, which induces ROS in the phloem. This leads to the intermolecular disulfide bonds formation among SEO proteins, promoting their transition from the dispersed state to the aggregated state. SEO can interact with CMV CP.

Two Sphingomonas species modify the productivity and the susceptibility of Pisum sativum to pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum

Plant Stress
Aphids are major pests of field crops, and their control still largely relies on chemical insecticides, which have significant ecological and health drawbacks.

Evaluating Vector-Virus-Yield Interactions for Peas and Lentils under Climatic Variability: A Limited Dependent Variable Analysis

Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 2011
This study examines the effects of climatic conditions on interactions among pea and lentil yields, pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris) infestations, and outbreaks of PEMV (Pea enation mosaic) and BLRV (Bean leaf roll) viruses in the Palouse region of
