Developmental expression of Ap‐Vas proteins in aphids and flies reveals their evolutionary roles in insects

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 217-231, June 2026.
Duplication of vas genes is universally observed in aphids, and phylogenetic analysis indicates that this event predates the divergence of Aphididae and Phylloxeridae. Ap‐vas1 is germline‐specific, whereas Ap‐vas2–4 exhibit somatic expression, indicating functional divergence during aphid embryogenesis.

Partitioning Apomixis Components to Understand and Utilize Gametophytic Apomixis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Apomixis is a method of reproduction to generate clonal seeds and offers tremendous potential to fix heterozygosity and hybrid vigor. The process of apomictic seed development is complex and comprises three distinct components, viz., apomeiosis (leading ...

Potential of the Predatory Mites Gamasellodes lavafesii (Mesostigmata: Ascidae) and Cosmolaelaps mediocuspis (Mesostigmata: Laelapidae) on Different Soil Pests/Parasites and Alternative Prey for Large‐Scale Rearing

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 5, Page 562-572, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Many species of Mesostigmata soil mites have potential as biological control agents of pests/parasites. This study evaluated the predation potential of two of these species, Gamasellodes lavafesii (Ascidae) and Cosmolaelaps mediocuspis (Laelapidae).

Migration rate, timing of sex, and resident genetic diversity jointly shape effective gene flow during rotifer colonization

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Dispersal is a complex process that affects all living organisms, with the settlement phase being particularly critical. This phase depends on the interaction between the environmental conditions of the new habitat and the biological traits of both resident and immigrant populations.

Anholocyclic overwintering of Myzus persicae: Host plant selection as a driver for aphid performance and survival

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 3, Page 732-744, May 2026.
The green peach aphid, Myzus persicae, is the main virus vector in sugar beet. We examine its performance on potential winter hosts as well as the host selection and overwintering success of anholicyclic aphids in order to improve forecasting models for virus outbreaks through targeted monitoring of suitable winter hosts. Abstract Virus yellows (VY) is

The Australian Crop Mirid, Sidnia kinbergi Stål (Hemiptera: Miridae): Lifecycle, Agricultural Impact and Management

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The Australian Crop Mirid (ACM), Sidnia kinbergi Stål (Hemiptera: Miridae), is highly polyphagous and is endemic to Australia. It is widely distributed across Australia and New Zealand and feeds on a wide range of agricultural crops. ACM has traditionally been a pest of forage crops and legumes but has recently emerged as a key pest of several

Molecular Phylogeny and Strain Genotyping of the Bacterial Endosymbiont Wolbachia Associated With Tuta absoluta Populations

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 5, Page 387-397, May 2026.
This study was designed to understand the association between reproductive endosymbiotic bacteria and wild and laboratory‐reared Tuta absoluta populations. The majority of T. absoluta populations showed Wolbachia presence at varying levels of infection, whereas Arsenophonus, Cardinium, and Spiroplasma were not detected. Wolbachia‐positive T.

Discovery and Evaluation of Cadmium‐Adapted Daphnia pulex Genotypes in a Region of Historical Mining Reveals Adaptation Protects the Germline From Cadmium‐Induced Mutations

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 9, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Exposure to chemical pollutants can alter the rate and genome‐wide distribution of germline mutations. However, studies measuring the effects of chemical exposure on mutation rates and spectra have not considered the ecological and evolutionary backgrounds of the studied genotypes, which could influence the rates and patterns of germline ...

Catch of Reesa vespulae in Heritage Environments

Insects
The skin beetle Reesa vespulae is regularly found beyond North America where it originated. The larvae cause considerable concern in museums, as they damage hides or furs in addition to being a special source of damage to collections of dried plants in ...
