Climate change, through rising temperatures, greater variability, and more frequent extremes, is reshaping insect phenology and thermal niches, with profound effects for pest outbreaks. Predicting these impacts requires a clear understanding of species and communities' responses across geographic gradients.

Host plants for mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) in grapevine crops
Mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) are considered pest insects of economic importance in grapevine crops. They are highly polyphagous, feeding on host plants of about 250 families.

Effects of Various Photoperiods on Color and Pubescence in \u3ci\u3eThyanta Pallidovirens Accerra\u3c/i\u3e (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) [PDF]
The effects of a range of developmental photoperiods on adult dimorphism in Thyanta pallidovirens accerra were studied under laboratory conditions. Adults reared in photo- phases of 14L and higher had short pubescence and those in 12L and lower, long pu-

Insect‐Derived Bioactives for Glycemic Control and Gut Health: A Review
Insect‐derived bioactive compounds (e.g., peptides, polysaccharides) effectively regulate blood glucose through dual mechanisms: directly inhibiting carbohydrate‐digesting enzymes and glucose transporters, and indirectly modulating gut microbiota to enhance intestinal barrier integrity.

Climate change has rapidly expanded and shifted suitable climate conditions for eight major forest pests across North America, especially toward northern and higher elevation areas. Host exposure and overlap among pests are increasing, raising ecological and economic risks, and signaling accelerating future impacts under continued warming.

Effects of Continuous and Split Developmental Photophases During Each 24 Hour Period on Adult Morphology in \u3ci\u3eEuschistus Tristigmus Tristigmus\u3c/i\u3e (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) [PDF]
Rearing immatures of Euschistus tristigmus tristigmus in 8L:16D, 8L: 4D:8L;4D, and 16L:8D showed that the length of each photophase, rather than an accumulated total of shorter photophases, during each 24 hr period was the determining factor in producing

Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning
Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius
