Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction
Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

The mitochondrial genome of Apis mellifera simensis (Hymenoptera: Apidae), an Ethiopian honey bee
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 The complete mitochondrial genome of Apis mellifera simensis was 16,523 bp long. The 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNAs, and 22 tRNAs resembled other Apis mitogenomes. The location of this Apis subspecies in our phylogenetic tree supported the hypothesis
