The influence of age on reproductive performance of the predatory ladybird beetle, Propylea dissecta
Journal of Insect Science, 2004 The influence of age on reproductive performance of an aphidophagous ladybird beetle, Propylea dissecta was examined using male and female beetles of varying ages (1-30 days) after a single mating stimulus.

Fast‐growing annual plants drive disease spillover in multi‐host communities
Journal of Ecology, EarlyView.Our modelling study predicts that slower‐growing hosts will bear the greater impact of pathogen spillover in the form of reduced end‐of‐season biomass (panel A). Faster‐growing hosts are predicted to be high impact reservoirs for spillover and could amplify disease in multi‐host communities (panel B).

Insect Science, EarlyView.We report the first high‐quality chromosome‐level genome assembly for the aphid Uroleucon formosanum, a serious pest that infests lettuce in eastern Asia. A combination of comparative genomic analyses and RNA‐seq transcriptome profiling suggests that U. formosanum employs integrative mechanisms to cope with host plant‐derived sesquiterpene lactone (STL)

Insect Science, EarlyView.Orius predators oviposit endophytically, and plant characteristics play an important role in their oviposition choices. In this study, we show that oviposition preferences differ between species, and that these differences may correlate with juvenile performance.

Exploring marking methods for the predatory hoverfly Sphaerophoria rueppellii (Diptera: Syrphidae)
Insect Science, EarlyView.As important pollinators and predators of aphids, hoverflies play an important role in ecosystems. This study focuses on identifying the best marking technique for the model species Sphaerophoria rueppellii that can be used to track hoverfly feeding and oviposition sites, evaluating three methods: rubidium (RbCl), fluorescein, and fluorescent dusts ...

AgoArmet and AgoC002: key effector proteins in cotton aphids host adaptation
Frontiers in Plant ScienceAphids are insects that feed on phloem and introduce effector proteins into plant cells through saliva. These effector proteins are key in regulating host plant defense and enhancing aphid host adaptation.
