Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders
Insect Science, EarlyView.Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Binding and toxicity of plant lectins to insects [PDF]
, 2002 The toxicity of plant lectins to insects after oral ingestion was investigated by incorporating the proteins into insect diets. Bioassays carried out using an artificial diet system demonstrated that kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) lectin (PHA) caused a

Migration and the Spatial Dynamics of an Aphid, Myzus persicae
The Journal of Animal Ecology, 1977 During migration the spatial distribution of aphids must become diffuse because migration is dependent on the wind. Mortality during host finding is of the order of hundreds, possibly thousands to one and the subsequent capacity for reproduction, once a migrant is established, is correspondingly great, so that the numbers and distribution of aphids are

Hemipteran vectors of stylet‐borne plant viruses: Aphids lead the charge
Insect Science, EarlyView.Among all sap‐feeding hemipterans, aphids stand out by far as the most important vectors of noncirculative plant viruses. Compared to whiteflies and mealybugs, aphids’ highly specialized stylet anatomy and distinct feeding behaviors contribute, together with other features of their biology, to their remarkable efficiency in transmitting stylet‐borne ...

Was Dan Janzen (1977) right about aphid clones being a "super-organism", i.e. a single "evolutionary individual"? : new insights from the use of molecular marker systems [PDF]
, 2008 Dan Janzen proposed in a paper in 1977 (loc. cit.), that a clone of aphids and for that matter dandelions consists, respectively, of one large ‘super-organism’.
