Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

open access: yesInsect 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.

The urban island: climatic suitability of Linepithema humile (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) and the role of cities in the invasion of the Western Palearctic

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Urban environments provide favorable conditions for the introduction and spread of nonnative and invasive species like the Argentine ant, which exploit ecological and climatic homogenization in cities to overcome natural barriers. Monitoring the expansion of such species can be achieved through potential distribution models, which in this study ...

Does This Look Infected? Hidden Host Plant Infection by the Pathogen Botrytis cinerea Alters Interactions between Plants, Aphids and Their Natural Enemies in the Field

open access: yesInsects
Few studies have considered whether hidden (asymptomatic) plant pathogen infection alters ecological interactions at the higher trophic levels, even though such infection still affects plant physiology. We explored this question in two field experiments,

Do stylet‐borne aphid‐transmitted viruses share the same binding sites?

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
Here, we tested if different stylet‐borne aphid‐transmitted viruses can compete for the same binding sites within the aphid stylets. We conducted sequential transmission assays of a potyvirus (ZYMV) followed by a cucumovirus (CMV) using Aphis gossypii as a vector and melon and pepper as test plants.
