Abstract For the majority of developed adverse outcome pathways (AOPs), the taxonomic domain of applicability (tDOA) is typically narrowly defined with a single or a handful of species. Defining the tDOA of an AOP is critical for use in regulatory decision‐making, particularly when considering protection of untested species.

Abstract Temperature has a profound effect on the growth and development of ectothermic animals. However, the extent to which ecologically driven selection pressures can adjust thermal plastic responses in growth schedules is not well understood. Comparing temperature‐induced plastic responses between sexes provides a promising but underexploited ...

The diversity, composition, and network of gut microbiota differed between the sympatric and diet‐sharing Drosophila simulans and Dicranocephalus wallichii bowringi. Host species shape the bacterial and fungal community in two insect hosts by altering the relative contribution of community assembly processes.

We evaluated how wetland occupancy by duck broods varied across crop‐dominated landscapes of the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) in the United States to inform conservation strategies in the face of widespread land use alterations and climate change. We found about 4 in 10 small wetlands in crop‐dominated landscapes within the PPR were used by duck broods

Exploring the Dynamics of Virulent and Avirulent Aphids: A Case for a "Within Plant" Refuge [PDF]
The soybean aphid, Aphis glycines (Hemiptera: Aphididae), is an invasive pest that can cause severe yield loss to soybeans in the northcentral United States. A tactic to counter this pest is the use of aphid-resistant soybean varieties. However, the occurrence of virulent biotypes can alter plant physiology and impair the use of this management ...

RNAi-Based Functional Genomics in Hemiptera
Simple Summary RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful strategy to understand the function of novel and critical insect genes. In this review, we highlight the pros and cons of using RNAi as a functional genomics tool, the range of applications and explore

Dr. J. E. McPherson, Educator and Researcher Extraordinaire: Biographical Sketch and List of Publications [PDF]
(excerpt) Like many outstanding naturalists, John E. (“Jay”) McPherson grew up with a strong interest in the natural world, especially insects. This innate curiosity led him to enroll as a zoology major at San Diego State University in 1959.

The Stink Bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) of Missouri [PDF]
The stink bug (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) fauna of Missouri was last treated more than 70 years ago. Since then, many more specimens have become available for study, substantial papers on regional faunas have been published, and many revisions and other ...
