Integrative approach to the systematics of the endemic Svalbard aphid specis Macrosiphum calvulum (Hemiptera, Aphididae) using molecular morphological and reproductive system analysis [PDF]
Scientific ReportsAphids in the Svalbard archipelago are limited to a few highly specialized species adapted to extreme Arctic conditions. Among them, the endemic species historically identified as Sitobion (Metobion) calvulum remains poorly studied.

Reproduction and fertility life table of three aphid species (Macrosiphini) at different temperatures [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Entomologia, 2010 Temperature is a key abiotic factor influencing the development and reproduction of aphids. The effect of temperature on the reproduction of three aphid species Aulacorthum solani (Kaltenbach), Macrosiphum euphorbiae (Thomas) and Uroleucon ambrosiae ...

Drought has negative consequences on aphid fitness and plant vigor: Insights from a meta-analysis. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 Using meta‐analysis, we provide the first comprehensive analysis of drought stress on aphid fitness, showing negative effects across different host plant families, aphid tribes, and geographic regions. These negative effects were observed for different aphid fitness parameters and host specialisms and likely result from drought‐induced reduction in ...

Chromosome-level genome assembly for the horned-gall aphid provides insights into interactions between gall-making insect and its host plant. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 The genome of a galling aphid Schlechtendalia chinensis is 271.52 Mb. Nine‐seven percent of the assembled sequences were anchored onto 13 chromosomes. A total of 14,089 protein‐coding genes were predicted and 35 genes encoding salivary gland proteins have potential roles in gall formation and plant defense suppression.

Aphids of the tribe Macrosiphini (Insecta: Homoptera: Aphididae) in Belarus [PDF]
Zoosystematica Rossica, 2012 Investigation of Macrosiphini in Belarus started in the 1900s. However, a regional checklist of Macrosiphini has not been published yet. Based on material preserved in our collections and data scattered across publications, we have compiled the first comprehensive list of Macrosiphini recorded from Belarus and briefly analysed it from the geographical ...

The preference-performance relationship as a means of classifying parasitoids according to their specialization degree. [PDF]
Evol Appl, 2019 Abstract Host range in parasitoids could be described by the preference–performance hypothesis (PPH) where preference is defined as host acceptance and performance is defined as the sum of all species on which parasitoid offspring can complete their life cycle.
