Primary and Secondary Symbionts of Cambodian Cicadellidae and the Role of Parasitisation

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.
Leafhoppers are key agricultural pests, and their interactions with parasitoids may be influenced by microbial symbionts. In this study, we characterized the bacterial communities of six Cambodian leafhopper species and their parasitoids, finding that while Sulcia dominates leafhopper microbiotas, parasitoids exhibit higher microbial diversity.

The loss of the urea cycle and ornithine metabolism in different insect orders: An omics approach

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 34, Issue 5, Page 632-644, October 2025.
Among urea cycle enzymes, only the nitric oxide synthase gene is universally present across insect genomes. All Hemiptera species lack the enzymes needed to convert citrulline to arginine, and some also lack the pathway from arginine to ornithine. Putrescine and spermidine synthesis is conserved in all insects, but aphids lack the capability to produce

Circadian rhythms in insecticide susceptibility, metabolic enzyme activity, and gene expression in Cimex lectularius (Hemiptera: Cimicidae).

PLoS ONE, 2019
Many insect species display daily variation of sensitivity to insecticides when they are exposed to the same concentration at different times during the day. To date, this has not been investigated in bed bugs.

The Paragenital Organ of Stylopidae (Insecta: Strepsiptera) and the Functional Incorporation of the Secondary Larval Exuvia

Journal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 9, September 2025.
In the insect order Strepsiptera, we identified a paragenital organ in the family Stylopidae that serves as a secondary genital organ for traumatic insemination. We show that the cuticle at the penetration sites is thickened in all species studied, relative to control sites.

Courtship Is a Major Factor of Mating‐Shortened Male Lifespan in an Egg Parasitoid

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
Mating is vital for population survival but often leads to reduced post‐mating longevity in both sexes. In many insects, sperm‐related factors are thought to cut male longevity, while in Anastatus disparis, mating also affects male longevity, with courtship being the main cause. Transcriptomic analyses of A.

Unraveling the Role of P450 Reductase in Herbicide Metabolic Resistance Mechanism

Plant Direct, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Plants require cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) to supply two electrons for cytochrome P450 monooxygenase enzymes (P450) to react with an organic substrate. The transfer of electrons to the P450 active site in the P450 catalytic site relies on a robust and intricate CPR:P450 complex in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane.

Binucleation of male accessory gland cells in the common bed bug Cimex lectularius

Scientific Reports, 2019
The insect male accessory gland (MAG) is an internal reproductive organ responsible for the synthesis and secretion of seminal fluid components, which play a pivotal role in the male reproductive strategy.

Molecular characterization of Wolbachia infection in bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) collected from several localities in France

Parasite, 2016
Wolbachia symbionts are maternally inherited intracellular bacteria that have been detected in numerous insects including bed bugs. The objective of this study, the first epidemiological study in Europe, was to screen Wolbachia infection among Cimex ...
