The reunion of two lineages of the Neotropical brown stink bug on soybean lands in the heart of Brazil. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2018 AbstractThe rapid pace of conversion of natural areas to agricultural systems is highly concerning, and the consequences for conservation and pest management are not yet fully understood. We examined mitochondrial (COI and Cytb) and nuclear (ITS1) gene regions of 21 populations of the stink bug Euschistus heros, to investigate the genetic diversity ...

Electropenetrography Monitoring of the Neotropical Brown-Stink Bug (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) on Soybean Pods: An Electrical Penetration Graph-Histology Analysis. [PDF]
J Insect Sci, 2018 The Neotropical brown-stink bug Euschistus heros (F.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) is the most important pest damaging soybean in the Neotropics, the world largest production area. The alternating current-direct current (AC-DC) electropenetrography (EPG) technology was used to develop an EPG waveform library of adult females feeding on soybean (Glycine ...

Embryonic Development of Appasus japonicus Vuillefroy, With Special Reference to Mouthparts Formation (Insecta: Heteroptera, Belostomatidae). [PDF]
J MorpholIn this study, we provide a detailed description of the embryonic development of Appasus japonicus, focusing on the formation of its specialized mouthparts. We identify homologies between the maxillary plate and maxillary palp and most parts of the stylet‐like mandibles and maxillae are housed within the labial palp.

Variation of Clasper Scent Gland Composition of Heliconius Butterflies from a Biodiversity Hotspot
ChemBioChem, Volume 24, Issue 22, November 16, 2023., 2023 Male Heliconius butterflies, which occur locally in three mimicry groups, show an extremely high diversity of compounds in their clasper scent glands. The more than 1,000 different compounds identified in 17 species are used for species‐specific mixtures of volatile and non‐volatile compounds, presumably used for chemical communication.

Insect invasions track a tree invasion: Global distribution of black locust herbivores
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 7, Page 1285-1298, July 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim Many invasive plant species benefit from enemy release resulting from the absence of insect herbivores in their invaded range. However, over time, specialized herbivores may ‘catch up’ with such invasive plants. Black locust is a tree species with a relatively limited native range in North America but has invaded large areas in virtually ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 15, Page 10468-10482, August 2021., 2021 Pollinators beneath the rainforest canopy occupy a unique microclimate that is markedly different from the canopy environment that receives more light energy. We studied the floral attractants and floral visitors of a dioecious, subcanopy rainforest tree, Fontainea picrosperma (Euphorbiaceae), in northern Australia.

Insect Science, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 21-34, February 2021., 2021 Abstract RNA interference (RNAi) targeting lethal genes in insects has great potential for sustainable crop protection. Compared with traditional double‐stranded (ds)RNA delivery systems, nanoparticles such as chitosan, liposomes, and cationic dendrimers offer advantages in delivering dsRNA/small interfering (si)RNA to improve RNAi efficiency, thus ...

Economic Injury Level of the Neotropical Brown Stink Bug Euschistus heros (F.) on Cotton Plants [PDF]
Neotropical Entomology, 2016 In Brazil, the Neotropical brown stink bug, Euschistus heros (F.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), commonly disperses from soybeans to cotton fields. The establishment of an economic treatment threshold for this pest on cotton crops is required. Infestation levels of adults of E.

RNAi and CRISPR/Cas9 as Functional Genomics Tools in the Neotropical Stink Bug, Euschistus heros
Insects, 2020 The Neotropical brown stink bug, Euschistus heros, is one of the most important stink bug pests in leguminous plants in South America. RNAi and CRISPR/Cas9 are important and useful tools in functional genomics, as well as in the future development of new
