Clonal mixing in the soldier-producing aphid Pemphigus spyrothecae (Hemiptera: Aphididae) [PDF]
, 2002 Illuminating the genetic relationships within soldier-producing aphid colonies is an essential element of any attempt to explain the evolution of the altruistic soldier caste.

European Journal of Entomology, 2015 Aphids are either monoecious living either on trees or herbaceous plants, or heteroecious, which involves host alternating between a tree (primary host) and a herbaceous plant (secondary host).

, 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.

Nature, 1873 IN his interesting communication respecting the relations supposed to exist between Trigona and Membracis, Dr. H. Muller appears to have overlooked the Abbe Boisier's observation (Kirby and Spence, “Introduction to Entomology,” 7th edition, p. 384) that hive-bees will collect the honey-dew excreted by Aphides.

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.

Wolbachia, Spiroplasma, and Rickettsia symbiotic bacteria in aphids (Aphidoidea)
Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2020 Aphids are a diverse family of crop pests. Aphids formed a complex relationship with intracellular bacteria. Depending on the region of study, the species composition of both aphids and their facultative endosymbionts varies.

A facultative endosymbiont in aphids can provide diverse ecological benefits
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2015 Ecologically important traits of insects are often affected by facultative bacterial endosymbionts. This is best studied in the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum, which is frequently infected by one or more of eight facultative symbiont species.

Abundance of Rice Root Aphid Among Selected Plant Species and on Plants Grown With Different Soil-Surface Media [PDF]
, 2018 The rice root aphid, Rhopalosiphum rufiabdominalis (Sasaki), is distributed worldwide and colonizes a wide range of plants. However, relatively little is known about the suitability of different host plants, optimal rearing techniques, and the aphid’s ...
