Visual ecology of aphids – a critical review on the role of colours in host finding [PDF]

, 2007
We review the rich literature on behavioural responses of aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) to stimuli of different colours. Only in one species there are adequate physiological data on spectral sensitivity to explain behaviour crisply in mechanistic terms.

The nutritional value of aphid honeydew for non-aphid parasitoids [PDF]

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2008
Intake of sugar-rich foods by adult parasitoids is crucial for their reproductive success. Hence, the availability of suitable foods should enhance the efficacy of parasitoids as biological control agents. In situations where nectar is not readily available, homopteran honeydew can be a key alternative food source.

Aphid Pheromones

, 2010
Aphids are the main insect pests of agricultural crops in temperate regions causing major economic losses. Although broad-spectrum insecticides are available for control, alternative and more targeted methods are needed due to insecticide resistance and increasing environmental pressures.

Improved Genome Assembly and Annotation of the Soybean Aphid (Aphis glycines Matsumura)

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
Aphids are an economically important insect group due to their role as plant disease vectors. Despite this economic impact, genomic resources have only been generated for a small number of aphid species.

Observations on the Interrelationships among Ants, Aphids, and Aphid Predators [PDF]

, 2017
Excerpt: The literature concerning the interactions of these insect groups is as interesting as it is extensive. It has generally been accepted that the relationship between ants and aphids has been one of mutualism in which ants derive all or a large ...

Single‐Cell Transcriptome Reveals Aquaporin‐Mediated Carbon Nanosol‐Induced Growth Promotion of Plants

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Carbon nanosol (CNS) exhibits rapid root penetration capacity, enhancing plant growth through boosting stomatal density and antioxidative enzyme activity. Single‐cell transcriptomic profiling uncovers cell type‐specific gene expression patterns and developmental trajectories during CNS‐mediated growth promotion.
