Threatened Neotropical seasonally dry tropical forest: evidence of biodiversity loss in sap-sucking herbivores over 75 years [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Tropical forests cover 7% of the earth's surface and hold 50% of known terrestrial arthropod species. Alarming insect declines resulting from human activities have recently been documented in temperate and tropical ecosystems worldwide, but reliable data

Comparative mitochondrial genome analysis of three leafhopper species of the genus Abrus Dai & Zhang (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae) from China with phylogenetic implication [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2023 Background The phylogenetic position and classification of Athysanini are poorly defined, as it includes a large group of polyphyletic genera that have historically been assigned to it mainly because they still exhibit the most typical deltocephaline ...

Screening potential insect vectors in a museum biorepository reveals undiscovered diversity of plant pathogens in natural areas. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 Phytoplasmas are a diverse group of obligate intracellular bacterial parasites, and diseases associated with these bacteria are among the most important problems affecting agriculture worldwide. However, most knowledge of the diversity and ecology of phytoplasmas and their hosts has been accumulated through studies of phytoplasma disease epidemiology ...

Diversity and Distributions, 2021 Abstract Aims Mexico harbours a diverse fauna comprising more than 1,400 leafhopper species, 60% of which appear to be strictly endemic, with many apparently restricted to particular habitats and host plants. The aims of this study were to identify areas of high species richness and endemism, and determine the biogeographic affinities of species in the
