Agronomy, 2020 Previous studies have confirmed that choosing nozzles that produce coarser droplets could reduce the risk of pesticide spray drift, but this conclusion is based on a large volume of application, and it is easy to ignore how this impacts the control ...

Genetic Basis of Cuticular Hydrocarbon Variation in the Desert Ant Cataglyphis niger
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) are a ubiquitous component of ant cuticles that are used for a wide range of chemical signaling functions, especially recognition. Here we tested for a genetic basis of CHC variation in the desert ant Cataglyphis niger. We applied a genomic mapping approach to discover associations between CHCs and 20 quantitative trait ...

Reference gene selection for gene expression studies using RT-qPCR in virus-infected planthoppers
Virology Journal, 2011 Background Planthoppers not only severely affect crops by causing mechanical damage when feeding but are also vectors of several plant virus species. The analysis of gene expression in persistently infected planthoppers might unveil the molecular basis ...

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 3, Page 2694-2707, March 2026.Varroa destructor mites exposed to dsRNA specific in sequence to a V. destructor calmodulin gene significantly effected gene expression of adult female mites sampled 5 days after entering a honey bee brood cell to reproduce. Significantly down‐regulated genes included Calmodulin and were associated with calcium ion binding and embryo developmental ...

Application of multivariate analysis to electrical penetration graphs using manual and automate waveform recognization from the planthopper Peregrinus maidis feeding on susceptible and resistant maize [PDF]
, 2004 The stylet penetration activities of Peregrinus maidis (Ashmead) (Homoptera: Delphacidae), vector of Maize mosaic virus (MMV) and Maize stripe virus (MStV) were studied by electrical penetration graphs (DC-EPG) on resistant and susceptible maize inbred ...

Carboniferous fossils enlighten the systematics and evolution of Hemiptera
Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 2, March/April 2026.Abstract Fossils are witnesses to the evolutionary processes undergone by living lineages. The earliest occurrence of clades provides rich insights into the timing of diversification of lineages and better delimits the groups that compose them. Hemiptera are a remarkable order within the insects due to their high morphological and ecological diversity.

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 2, Page 480-494, March 2026.‘Candidatus Phytoplasma (Ca. P.) solani’ is associated with bois noir (BN) of grapevine and stolbur of solanaceous plants and is primarily transmitted by Hyalesthes obsoletus Signoret. Four tuf‐a and five tuf‐b1 ‘Ca. P. solani’ strains were transmitted to tomato plants (cv. Micro‐Tom) by using bait‐plants and by capturing H.
