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

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
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

NOTES ON AMERICAN HEMIPTERA

open access: yesThe Canadian Entomologist, 1906
1. Aradus concinnus, Bergr.— Female: Fifth ventral segment as long in the middle as at the sides, with a transverse obtuse-angulated keel a little in front of the almost straight middle part of the apical margin, this keel at the ends coalescing with the apical margin, apial angles of the segment reaching a little beyond the slightly rounded apical ...

Butterflies, bumblebees and hoverflies are equally effective pollinators of Knautia arvensis (Caprifoliaceae), a generalist plant species with compound inflorescences

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant‐pollinator interactions exist along a continuum from complete specialisation to highly generalised, that may vary in time and space. A long‐held assumption is that large bees are usually the most effective pollinators of generalist plants.

From Stream to Bloom: Exploring the Potential Role of Aquatic Insects for Pollination in Wetland Environments

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The substantial loss of insects we are experiencing today has been highlighted all over the world. There is a growing concern about the global decline of pollinators and its impact on terrestrial and agricultural ecosystems, but the focus of scientists towards bees remains the rule.
