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

LsFAMeT and LsJHAMT coordinate JH biosynthesis to regulate fecundity in Laodelphax striatellus
The small brown planthopper (SBPH), Laodelphax striatellus, can trigger large‐scale outbreaks when encountering suitable habitats during migration due to their strong reproductive ability. This study investigated the role of juvenile hormone (JH) in regulating SBPH reproduction.

Research on mosquito feeding preferences and the malaria parasites they transmit is essential for understanding the interactions between hosts, vectors, and parasites. In this study, vertebrate hosts were identified in 72 mosquitoes. Most blood meals (58.7%) came from birds, representing 25 species, while 40.0% came from mammals (13 species), and 1.3 ...
