Phylogenomics and the evolution of hemipteroid insects
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018 Significance Hemipteroid insects constitute a major fraction of insect diversity, comprising three orders and over 120,000 described species. We used a comprehensive sample of the diversity of this group involving 193 genome-scale datasets and sequences ...

Insect Colonization and Mass Production. Edited by Carroll N. Smith. New York and London: Academic Press, 1966. xxii, 618pp. $27.00. [PDF]
, 2017 Excerpt: The mass production of insects appears to have started with the requirements of the rod-and-line fisherman for bait. For many years, using crude but effective methods, an individual could earn a living rearing millions of blowflies a week to ...

Current Biology, 2015 It goes without saying that insects epitomize diversity, and with over a million documented species they stand out as one of the most remarkable lineages in the 3.5-billion-year history of life on earth (Figure 1). This reality is passé to even the layperson and is taken for granted in the same way none of us think much of our breathing as we go about ...
