Global climate change‐driven impacts on the Asian distribution of Limassolla leafhoppers, with implications for biological and environmental conservation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.
This study conducted a comprehensive analysis of the distribution of Limassolla based on different Shared Socio‐economic Pathways and climate scenarios, incorporating theories and methods from insect ecology, environmental ecology, and biogeography. The results indicated that Limassolla is mainly distributed in East Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia,

Proteomic diversification of spermatostyles among six species of whirligig beetles

Molecular Reproduction and Development, Volume 91, Issue 5, May 2024.
Whirligig beetle sperm travel cooperatively through the female reproductive tract attached to a spermatostyle, a poorly studied rod‐like structure. Proteome characterization revealed that spermatostyles are comprised of a restricted set of proteases and possess catalytic activity.

Mechanisms generating biological diversity in the genus Platypleura Amyot & Serville, 1843 (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) in southern Africa: implications of a preliminary molecular phylogeny [PDF]

, 2004
Truly understanding biological diversity requires a move from descriptive studies to mechanistic interpretations based on comparative biology and a thorough recognition of the natural history of the focal organisms.

Population dynamics and prey community of the invasive paper wasp Polistes chinensis (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) in a protected coastal habitat in New Zealand

Austral Entomology, Volume 63, Issue 2, Page 306-318, May 2024.
Abstract The Asian paper wasp (Polistes chinensis) is an invasive species in New Zealand and a voracious arthropod predator, incorporating a wide range of prey into its diet. We examined the colony survival and prey community composition of these wasps in a protected coastal habitat in New Zealand.

Analysis of the calling songs of Platypleura hirtipennis (Germar, 1834) and P. plumosa (Germar, 1834) (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) [PDF]

, 2003
[From the introduction]: Most male cicadas produce a calling song in order to attract conspecific females. These songs have been shown to differ in closely related species (e.g.

Acoustic communication in Okanagana rimosa (Say) (Homoptera: Cicadidae)

Zoology, 2004
The cicada Okanagana rimosa (Say) has an acoustic communication system with three types of loud timbal sounds: (i) A calling song lasting several seconds to about 1 min which consists of a sequence of chirps at a repetition rate of 83 chirps per second. Each chirp of about 6 ms duration contains 4-5 pulses.

Cordyceps cicadae ameliorates inflammatory responses, oxidative stress, and fibrosis by targeting the PI3K/mTOR‐mediated autophagy pathway in the renal of MRL/lpr mice

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2024.
The purpose of this study was to explore the possibility of using Cordyceps cicadae as a potential therapeutic target for treating renal fibrosis damage in lupus nephritis. The current study's findings show that C. cicadae can alleviate renal fibrosis damage in lupus mice by targeting the phosphatidylinositol 3‐kinase (PI3K)/mammalian target of ...

Record of Carineta Amyot and Audinet-Serville, 1843 (Hemiptera: Cicadidae: Cicadettinae: Carinetini) in Goiás State, Brazil

Biotemas, 2018
Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) are insects characterized mainly by the sound they emit, which makes their presence evident in natural and urban areas. Beyond this, we know little about the species that occur in the neotropical region, including Brazil ...
