Alternative prey influence the predation of mosquito larvae by three water bug species (Heteroptera: Nepidae)

open access: yesLimnological Review, 2020
The indirect interactions among multiple prey sharing a common predator characterize apparent competition. In conservation biological control involving mosquitoes and controphic prey against generalist insect predators, apparent competition may be a ...

Large parameter uncertainty persists in soil food web models integrating stoichiometry, respiration and assimilation

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Soil food web models are essential for linking animal diversity to carbon and nutrient cycling. However, it is unclear how soil animals regulate excess carbon when nutrient availability limits their growth and how to best represent animal respiration in these models. To

New records of terrestrial bugs from the Maltese Islands with an updated list of Maltese Heteroptera (Insecta : Hemiptera) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Thirty-four species of Heteroptera were found from the Maltese islands during a sampling period of a week in April of 2009. Of these, seven represent new records for this territory and include the seed bugs Artheneis foveolata, Emblethis duplicatus ...

The first mitochondrial genome for the subfamily Podopinae (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) and its phylogenetic implications

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017
Here, we determined the complete mitogenome of Graphosoma rubrolineata, as the first representative for the subfamily Podopinae. This mitogenome is 15,633 bp long and contains 37 typical mitochondrial genes.

Response of the reduviid bug, Rhynocoris marginatus (Heteroptera: Reduviidae) to six different species of cotton pests

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2016
. In Indian agro-ecosystems Rhynocoris marginatus (F.) is one of the most abundant predatory arthropods and feeds on a wide range of insect pests. We investigated the responses of R.

Full‐length transcriptome profiling of true bug mitochondrial genomes reveals the unique transcriptional regulation during insect evolution

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
The mitogenome was transcribed into complete primary polycistrons on both strands. The heteropteran mitochondrial transcription termination factor (HmTTF) functions as a bidirectional attenuator rather than a terminator, and co‐evolution of HmTTF and the binding sites was observed.

The first mitochondrial genome for the subfamily Asopinae (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) and its phylogenetic implications

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017
Here, we determined the complete mitogenome of Picromerus griseus, the first for the subfamily Asopinae. This mitochondrial genome contains 16,338 bp, with an A + T content of 71.69%, and contains 37 typical mitochondrial genes (13 protein-coding genes ...

Kinetic activity of the sex chromosomes of Mormidea paupercula (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2010
In Mormidea paupercula (n = 6 + XY in males), the presence of a CMA3-bright band in the telomeric regions on both sex chromosomes allowed the analysis of the kinetic activity of the sex univalents and XY pseudobivalent at the first and second meiotic ...

Comparing time‐lapse photography and traditional human observation in collecting crop pollinator visitation data Ajastetun valokuvauksen ja perinteisen suoran havainnoinnin vertailu kerättäessä tietoa pölyttäjien kukkakäynneistä viljelykasveilla

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Time‐lapse photography with commercially available trail cameras provides a competitive alternative to direct human observations for documenting pollinator flower visits, but its performance varies between crops. In apple, the cameras recorded more diverse pollinator assemblages than the human observer due to larger temporal coverage of the camera ...

A record after 52 years, and additional description of the emesine assassin bug Emesopsis nubila (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Emesinae) from western India

open access: yesJournal of Threatened Taxa, 2018
A small reduviid bug Emesopsis nubila Uhler, 1893 is reported from Maharashtra State, India, for the first time.  Digital illustrations of important morphological characters, including male genitalia and female terminalia, are provided in the additional ...
