Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

An introduction to Iranian Collembola (Hexapoda): an update to the species list

ZooKeys, 2013
The Collembola fauna of Iran is little known and no comprehensive examination of this group of Hexapoda is available for this region. The only notable work on Collembola was carried out by Cox (1982).

Parthenogenesis in Hexapoda: holometabolous insects

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, 2017
This study is a second part of a review on parthenogenesis in Hexapoda. In contrast to the first part describing parthenogenetic groups of Entognatha and non-holometabolous insects (Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, 54, 2016, 257), this study deals with parthenogenesis in Holometabola.

Sequence and expression analysis of potential spermatogenesis‐specific gene cognates in the Caribbean fruit fly, Anastrepha suspensa

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a highly effective biologically‐based method for the suppression of many insect pest populations. SIT efficacy could be improved by methods of male sterilization that avoid the use of irradiation that can result in diminished fitness and mating competitiveness.

A checklist of subterranean arthropods of Iran

Subterranean Biology, 2017
Understanding subterranean biodiversity is important, yet vast regions of the world remain poorly explored. Here, we provide the first step towards cataloguing the subterranean arthropods of Iran. After review and analysis of the available literature and

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

Insect 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.

Peptidomics-Based Phylogeny and Biogeography of Mantophasmatodea (Hexapoda) [PDF]

Systematic Biology, 2012
The insect order Mantophasmatodea was described in 2002. Prior to that time, several generations of entomologists had assumed that all major insect taxa were known; thus, its description was a sensation for zoologists. Since then, a surprising abundance and species diversity of this taxon have been found, particularly in the winter rainfall region of ...

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.
