Higher level phylogeny and the first divergence time estimation of Heteroptera (Insecta: Hemiptera) based on multiple genes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Heteroptera, or true bugs, are the largest, morphologically diverse and economically important group of insects with incomplete metamorphosis. However, the phylogenetic relationships within Heteroptera are still in dispute and most of the previous ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Notonecta chinensis Fallou and implications for the phylogeny of Notonectidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017
The complete mitochondrial genome of Notonecta chinensis Fallou was sequenced and was 15,149 bp long with 75.6% A + T. There were 37 typical genes including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNAs), and two ribosomal RNA (rRNAs).

The oldest aquatic aphelocheirid bug (Heteroptera, Nepomorpha) from the lower Eocene of India

open access: yesPalaeoentomology, 2023
The aquatic bug family Aphelocheiridae currently comprises only the extant genus Aphelocheirus Westwood, 1833, with two subgenera, the nominal one and Micraphelocheirus Hoberlandt & Štys, 1979. The genus is widely distributed in Europe, Asia, Africa, but

Effects of the removal or reduction in density of the malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae s.l., on interacting predators and competitors in local ecosystems

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 1-15, March 2019., 2019
Genetic control methods for anopheline mosquitoes may reduce their populations without direct effects on other species or the physical environment; indirect effects on predators or competitors may be of concern. The vast majority of Anopheles gambiae predators are broad generalists and consume many other insect species; there is no indication of a ...

Survey of Water Bugs in Bankim, a New Buruli Ulcer Endemic Area in Cameroon

open access: yesJournal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Buruli ulcer is a debitliating human skin disease with an unknown transmission mode although epidemiological data link it with swampy areas. Data available suggest that aquatic insects play a role in the dissemination and/or transmission of this disease. However, their biodiversity and biology remain poorly documented.
