We report the first high‐quality chromosome‐level genome assembly for the aphid Uroleucon formosanum, a serious pest that infests lettuce in eastern Asia. A combination of comparative genomic analyses and RNA‐seq transcriptome profiling suggests that U. formosanum employs integrative mechanisms to cope with host plant‐derived sesquiterpene lactone (STL)

Exploring marking methods for the predatory hoverfly Sphaerophoria rueppellii (Diptera: Syrphidae)
As important pollinators and predators of aphids, hoverflies play an important role in ecosystems. This study focuses on identifying the best marking technique for the model species Sphaerophoria rueppellii that can be used to track hoverfly feeding and oviposition sites, evaluating three methods: rubidium (RbCl), fluorescein, and fluorescent dusts ...

Stress in dipteran insects mass‐reared for sterile insect technique applications
The connections between biotic and abiotic stress affecting mass‐reared dipteran insects and the associated stress and immunological responses. Numbers indicate the order in which the topics are discussed in this review. Abstract Stress may be viewed as the disturbance of homeostasis of an organism.
