Using genomic data from 285 species across 19 planthopper families, we conducted the first phylogenomic study targeting global planthoppers and inferred their phylogeny with the highest resolution so far. We proposed taxonomic changes including the establishment of a new family Borysthenidae stat. rev. and a new superfamily Meenoploidea superfam.

Abstract Predators are recognized to increase prey diversity by suppressing competitively dominant species, whereas mutualists are predicted to reduce diversity by promoting a competitively dominant partner. However, this trend, and the effect of these interactions when they cooccur, remains underexplored.

Nomenclatural changes in the family Membracidae (Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha, Membracoidea)
Nomenclatural changes are provided for names in the family Membracidae. The following replacement names are proposed: Gargara (Gargara) discoidea nom.nov. for Gargara (Gargara) discoidalis Ananthasubramanian, 1980; Tricentrus substitutus nom.nov. for Tricentrus yunnanensis (Yuan & Li, 2002); Indicopleustes esakii nom.nov. for Indicopleustes typicus

The cryptonephridial/rectal complex: an evolutionary adaptation for water and ion conservation
ABSTRACT Arthropods have integrated digestive and renal systems, which function to acquire and maintain homeostatically the substances they require for survival. The cryptonephridial complex (CNC) is an evolutionary novelty in which the renal organs and gut have been dramatically reorganised. Parts of the renal or Malpighian tubules (MpTs) form a close

Insects belonging the suborder Auchenorrhyncha (Hemiptera) are monitored with yellow sticky traps replaced every 1 or 2 weeks, which is costly and time‐consuming. We tested two types of electronic traps to monitor Scaphoideus titanus (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), a vector of phytoplasmas associated with Flavescence dorée in grapevine (Vitis vinifera ...

Differential effect of grassland mowing on arthropod taxa
First, we discovered that mowing had a negative effect on overall arthropod abundance in all four of our studies. Second, our four studies found that seven taxa showed only negative, four only positive, and four mixed positive and negative responses. Third, regarding taxonomic resolution, no third‐level taxon (i.e.

Etude sur la transmission de la maladie de Cap Saint Paul du cocotier au Ghana [PDF]
Les recherches sur le vecteur de la maladie de Cap Saint Paul du cocotier au Ghana ont débuté à partir de 1990 (90-97; 2002-04) et n'ont pas donné de résultats probants. A partir de juillet 2005, de nouvelles normes d'essais ont été appliquées: ombrière,

Tortistilus wickhami is widely distributed across North America. Previously reported from Canada to South California, it is now documented for the first time in the vineyards of Valle de Guadalupe, Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico. This treehopper is of economic significance, as it is a suspected candidate for the transmission of grapevine red blotch ...
