The miR-9b microRNA mediates dimorphism and development of wing in aphids
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020 Significance Evolution of various wings plays an important role in the success of insects in environmental adaptation. During evolution, aphids deploy a wing dimorphism strategy to escape unfavorable conditions.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020 Significance Symbioses between animals and microbes often involve host control of symbionts to harness a benefit. In aphids, Buchnera symbionts produce amino acids for their hosts, enabling these insects to survive solely on plant sap. Buchnera abundance

A novel gene REPTOR2 activates the autophagic degradation of wing disc in pea aphid
eLife, 2023 Wing dimorphism in insects is an evolutionarily adaptive trait to maximize insect fitness under various environments, by which the population could be balanced between dispersing and reproduction. Most studies concern the regulatory mechanisms underlying

Local and landscape effects of field margins on aerially dispersing beneficial insects and spiders [PDF]
, 2011 Field margins were implemented in UK agri-environment schemes with the aim to increase farmland biodiversity. Recently aerially dispersing aphid enemies have been shown to provide the majority of aphid control in winter wheat fields but there is a lack ...

Refuges and host shift pathways of host-specialized aphids Aphis gossypii
Scientific Reports, 2017 Polyphagous cotton-melon aphid populations usually comprise cotton- and cucurbit-specialized biotypes. Host-specialized aphids are prone to food shortages.

The effect of within-crop habitat manipulations on the conservation biological control of aphids in field-grown lettuce [PDF]
, 2011 Within-crop habitat manipulations have the potential to increase the biological control of pests in horticultural field crops. Wildflower strips have been shown to increase the abundance of natural enemies, but there is little evidence to date of an ...

Differences in microbiota between two multilocus lineages of the sugarcane Aphid (Melanaphis sacchari) in the continental United States [PDF]
, 2020 The sugarcane aphid (SCA), Melanaphis Sacchari (Zehntner) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), has been considered an invasive pest of sugarcane in the continental United States since 1977. Then, in 2013, SCA abruptly became a serious pest of U.S.
