Comparative Studies of Perianal Structures in Myrmecophilous Aphids (Hemiptera, Aphididae) [PDF]
Insects, 2022 There are three types of relationships between aphids and ants: non-myrmecophilous, obligatory and facultatively myrmecophilous. The degree of involvement in this mutualism is believed to be corelated with morphological adaptations of perianal structures.

Perianal Structures in Non-Myrmecophilous Aphids (Hemiptera, Aphididae) [PDF]
Insects, 2023 Mutualistic relation with ants is one of the leading features of aphid ecology. For some aphid species, it is a crucial association enhancing their survival capability, while the life mode of some others is completely independent of ants.

Phylogenetic position and morphological polymorphism of the chafer, Clinterocera nigra (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae) from Taiwan [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022 Three mitochondrial genomes of the cetoniine beetle, Clinterocera nigra (Kano, ) were assembled via next-generation sequencing. The newly sequenced mitogenomes all have 37 genes, showing standard gene order and annotation as the other insects. To examine

The Intranidal Myrmecophiles of the Maltese Islands with Notes on Messor Nests as Repositories of Biodiversity [PDF]
Insects, 2023 The intranidal myrmecophilous arthropod fauna of the Maltese Islands is reviewed. Thirty species from nine orders are found to be obligate myrmecophiles, of which four species are recorded from the Maltese archipelago for the first time: Phrurolithus sp.

Varied Effects of Tending Ant Species on the Development of Facultatively Myrmecophilous Lycaenid Butterfly Larvae [PDF]
Insects, 2019 Ants often tend and protect the larvae of various myrmecophilous lycaenid species, which influences the fitness of butterflies by altering their growth and developmental time.
