Meiotic behaviour of chromosomes in three predator species of the subfamily Asopinae (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)

open access: yesComparative Cytogenetics, 2010
The study of chromosome behaviour has been carried out on males of three species of the Asopinae (Pentatomidae) bugs Andrallus spinidens (Fabricius, 1787), Canthecona furcellata Wolff, 1801 and Perillus bioculatus (Fabricius, 1775) collected in India ...

Hemipteran insects experience recurrent and synergistic molecular evolution adapting to diet shift [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Biology
Background Hemiptera is an insect order with extremely high physiological and behavioral diversity. Feeding traits have switched and reversed multiple times, but the molecular basis governing this phenotypical change remains unclear.

Egg Cannibalism Varies With Sex, Reproductive Status, and Egg and Nymph Ages in Arma custos (Hemiptera: Asopinae)

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Background: Egg cannibalism is common in nature. In China, Arma custos (Hemiptera: Asopinae) has been widely used as a natural enemy to control agricultural and forestry pests. A previous study showed that adult A. custos devour their eggs.

Morphological structure of salivary glands, alimentary canal, and Malpighian tubules in adult Eurydema spectabilis Horváth, 1882 (Heteroptera, Pentatomidae). [PDF]

open access: yesMicrosc Res Tech
In E. spectabilis, the salivary glands are divided into principal and accessory glands. Microvilli and numerous secretory granules were found in Malpighian tubules. Numerous uric acid crystals and bacteria were found in the rectum lumen. Abstract Eurydema spectabilis (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) has a piercing‐sucking mouth type and feeds on plant sap ...

Pathways for accidental biocontrol: The human-mediated dispersal of insect predators and parasitoids. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Appl
Abstract Introductions of insect predators and parasitoids for biological control are a key method for pest management. Yet in recent decades, biological control has become more strictly regulated and less frequent. Conversely, the rate of unintentional insect introductions through human activities is rising.

Seven decades of studies with Asopinae predators in Brazil (1933●-○2014)

open access: yesBioscience Journal, 2015
Studies of Asopinae predators in Brazil were initiated in the 1930's, focusing on the use of these insects in biological control programs. However, the beginning of a period of major contributions to the knowledge on Asopinae predators started in the ...
