Higher level phylogeny and the first divergence time estimation of Heteroptera (Insecta: Hemiptera) based on multiple genes. [PDF]
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 oldest aquatic aphelocheirid bug (Heteroptera, Nepomorpha) from the lower Eocene of India
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

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
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.
