Variation and diversification of the microbiome of Schlechtendalia chinensis on two alternate host plants. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Schlechtendalia chinensis, a gall-inducing aphid, has two host plants in its life cycle. Its wintering host is a moss (typically Plagiomnium maximoviczii) and its main host is Rhus chinensis (Sumac), on which it forms galls during the summer.

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

Plant response to feeding aphids promotes aphid dispersal [PDF]
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 2018 AbstractPlant responses against biotic stress agents are affected by a number of environmental conditions, including the presence of other pests and pathogens. Moreover, the impact of infestation on subsequent plant colonization by conspecifics can vary, reflecting the high diversity in the co‐evolutionary processes shaping host‐plant interactions ...
