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.

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.

Molecular phylogeny and macroevolution of Chaitophorinae aphids (Insecta: Hemiptera: Aphididae)
Systematic Entomology, Volume 47, Issue 2, Page 303-314, April 2022., 2022 The subfamily Chaitophorinae and two constituent tribes, Siphini and Chaitophorini, were retrieved as monophyletic. Chaitophorinae originated on Acer from eastern Asia during the Late Cretaceous to early Palaeocene. The origins of Siphini and Chaitophorus + Lambersaphis were associated with host shift.

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 316-326, January 2021., 2021 Abstract Woolly apple aphid (WAA, Eriosoma lanigerum Hausmann) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is a major pest of apple trees (Malus domestica, order Rosales) and is critical to the economics of the apple industry in most parts of the world. Here, we generated a chromosome‐level genome assembly of WAA—representing the first genome sequence from the aphid ...
