Chromosome-level genome assembly of Ceroplastes pseudoceriferus Green, 1935 (Hemiptera: Coccidae) [PDF]
Scientific DataSoft scales (Hemiptera: Coccidae) are significant polyphagous pests and majority of which are invasive species. The 364.14 Mb chromosome-level genome of Ceroplastes pseudoceriferus was assembled in this work, with a contig N50 length of 6.16 Mb and ...

Positive Selection Drives Mitochondrial Gene Rearrangement in Sternorrhyncha (Insecta: Hemiptera). [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe have constructed the largest mitochondrial dataset for Sternorrhyncha to establish phylogenetic relationships. The mitochondrial genes of Coccoidea and Aleyrodoidea exhibit a notable prevalence of translocation and a high proportion of positive selection pressures.

"The Last of Them": Entomopathogenic Effect of Akanthomyces muscarius on the Scale Insect Pest Toumeyella parvicornis Under Laboratory Conditions, a Potential Biological Control Candidate. [PDF]
Physiol PlantABSTRACT Entomopathogenic fungi are valuable alternatives to traditional agrochemicals, providing more sustainable crop protection. Akanthomyces spp. is acknowledged in biocontrol practices, especially in controlling aphids, thrips, whiteflies, and mites; however, its efficacy on soft scale insects is still poorly known.

Multi-Omics Profiling of the Scaphoideus titanus Yeast-Like Symbiont Guides the Bioinformatic Discovery of Related Fungal Symbioses in Insects. [PDF]
Environ MicrobiolGenomic, proteomic and phylogenetic analyses of the obligate yeast‐like symbiont (YLS) associated with Scaphoideus titanus revealed retained metabolic flexibility and a monophyletic origin of insect‐associated YLSs within a free‐living fungal lineage. A novel computational pipeline was used to mine NCBI transcriptomic data and identified new candidate ...

Climate Change Drives the Distribution of Insect Vectors for GLRaV-3 on a Global Scale. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe distribution range of seven insect vectors of GLRaV‐3 were predicted by MaxEnt model. Thermal conditions were a vital factor constraining the potential distribution ranges of all vector insects. Centroid shifts suggested that the potential distribution range of soft scale will move northward under climate change. Our study provides implications for
