Evolutionary Relationships among Primary Endosymbionts of the Mealybug Subfamily Phenacoccinae (Hemiptera: Coccoidea: Pseudococcidae) [PDF]
, 2010 Mealybugs (Coccoidea: Pseudococcidae) are sap-sucking plant parasites that harbor bacterial endosymbionts within specialized organs. Previous studies have identified two subfamilies, Pseudococcinae and Phenacoccinae, within mealybugs and determined the ...

Insect Science, EarlyView.This diagram illustrates that the horizontally transferred panBC influences the level and localization of vitellogenin (Vg) by facilitating pantothenate production and juvenile hormone (JH) biosynthesis. In turn, Vg shields symbionts by suppressing autophagic degradation in bacteriocytes.

Sex Pheromone of the Papaya Mealybug. [PDF]
J Chem EcolSex pheromones of mealybugs are reported from more than 20 species and have generally been shown to be monoterpene alcohols esterified with short-chain carboxylic acids. Here, however, we discovered and isolated an alcohol without an acid moiety as a pheromone compound released from adult females of the papaya mealybug, Paracoccus marginatus.

Combined effects of the landscape and crop management on ant communities
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.At small spatial scales, agricultural management acts as a stronger ecological filter than landscape context, significantly shaping ant community composition. Species richness and frequency did not differ among treatments, indicating the predominance of generalist species.

Sociobiology, 2015 The mealybug Phenacoccus solenopsis has been recently reported as a serious invasive insect pest in China. Earlier investigations suggest that some species of native ants may tend P solenopsis in the field, and affect the population number and spatial ...

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.MeJA application strengthened both direct and indirect coffee defenses against the white mealybug Planococcus citri, whereas the effects of MeSA were variable and context‐dependent across the defensive traits examined. The combined application of both elicitors produced an effect similar to MeSA on direct defenses, but resembled MeJA when indirect ...

Tachinidae (Diptera) as Floral Visitors and Pollinators in Natural and Managed Systems
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We review the roles of bristle flies (Tachinidae) as pollinators in natural and managed systems. We find that most tachinid genera visit flowers and that floral‐adapted mouthparts have evolved repeatedly many times in the family. We review patterns of floral specificity and assess the efficacy of tachinids as pollinators with case studies.
