First detection of apple proliferation and pear decline phytoplasmas in Luxembourg

EPPO Bulletin, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 320-327, August 2025.
Abstract The present article reports the first detection of the apple proliferation and pear decline phytoplasmas (‘Candidatus Phytoplasma mali’ and ‘Ca. P. pyri’, respectively) in Luxembourg. These phytoplasmas, belonging to the 'Apple Proliferation group' 16SrX, are causing severe losses in European fruit tree production, respectively, on apple ...

Phylogenomic insights into the relationship and the evolutionary history of planthoppers (Insecta: Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha) 基于基因组的系统发育分析为蜡蝉亚目(Fulgoromorpha)的系统发育关系及进化提供新见解

Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 495-518, July 2025.
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.

Why so many Hemiptera invasions?

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 30, Issue 12, December 2024.
Abstract Aim The Hemiptera is the fifth‐largest insect order but among non‐native insect species is approximately tied with the Coleoptera as the most species‐rich insect order (Hemiptera comprise 20% more species than in world fauna). This over‐representation may result from high propagule pressure or from high species invasiveness.

Vibrational communication in Scolypopa australis: characterising spontaneous and intrasexual calls in an invasive orchard pest

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 172, Issue 12, Page 1128-1140, December 2024.
Passion vine hoppers (PVH), Scolypopa australis (Hemiptera: Ricaniidae), are an invasive planthopper species that inflicts serious damage on kiwifruit and other orchard crops in New Zealand. In this observational study we investigated spontaneous vibrational calling in PVH. We identified four types of male call and three types of female call, and found

Limited variation in microbial communities across populations of Macrosteles leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae)

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 16, Issue 3, June 2024.
Our study demonstrates that concurrent analysis of marker genes effectively detects genetic diversity and parasitoid infections and confirms the presence of nutritional endosymbionts. Notably, we observed intermittent infections involving Rickettsia, Wolbachia, and Phytoplasma, alongside the identification of new endosymbionts.

Role of body size and shape in animal camouflage

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2024.
In this review, we analyzed the research on the impact of animal body size and shape on their camouflage and outlined existing research issues and challenges. Overall, we found a negative correlation between body size and the effectiveness of disruptive coloration and background matching as camouflage strategies.
