Water Striders (Hemiptera: Gerridae) of Arkansas [PDF]

open access: yes, 1980
The taxonomy, distribution, and ecology of the water striders of Arkansas are discussed based on personal collections, museum specimens, and literature records. A total of 15 species representing six genera is presently known from the state.

The quest for the best target genes for RNAi‐mediated pest control

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
A major challenge for RNAi mediated pest control is the identification of the most effective RNAi target genes from the pool of ~37% of all genes that are essential. Effective RNAi target genes are predominantly highly conserved genes serving basic cellular functions such as protein degradation.

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

Origin, Divergence and Migration Routes of Psyllids of the Cacopsylla pruni Complex (Hemiptera: Psylloidea) Inferred by Approximate Bayesian Computation Methods

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Population genetics is essential to decipher the evolutionary history of pests and insect vectors from both a theoretical point of view and to predict and mitigate the future of epidemics. We attempt to shed light on the evolutionary history and phylogeography of two cryptic psyllid species (namely, A and B) of the Cacopsylla pruni complex,
