Antioxidant Enzymes and Heat Shock Protein Genes from Liposcelis bostrychophila Are Involved in Stress Defense upon Heat Shock [PDF]
Insects, 2020 Psocids are a new risk for global food security and safety because they are significant worldwide pests of stored products. Among these psocids, Liposcelis bostrychophila has developed high levels of resistance or tolerance to heat treatment in grain ...

Competition among species of stored-product psocids (Psocoptera) in stored grain. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 We evaluated the competition among stored-product psocid species by conducting two series of laboratory experiments. In the first series, three species of Liposcelididae were used: Liposcelis bostrychophila, Liposcelis decolor, and Liposcelis paeta. Five

Involvement of Methoprene-tolerant and Krüppel homolog 1 in juvenile hormone-mediated vitellogenesis of female Liposcelis entomophila (End.) (Psocoptera: Liposcelididae). [PDF]
Arch Insect Biochem Physiol, 2023 A graphical summary of this study and a model of the role of juvenile hormone (JH) signaling in the reproduction of Liposcelis entomophila. JH signaling induces reproduction by enhancing the expression of Vg through Met and Kr‐h1. Blocking JH signaling by knockdown with Met and Kr‐h1, which inhibits Vg expression and affects reproduction, can provide ...

Limited sex differences in plastic responses suggest evolutionary conservatism of thermal reaction norms: A meta-analysis in insects. [PDF]
Evol Lett, 2022 Abstract Temperature has a profound effect on the growth and development of ectothermic animals. However, the extent to which ecologically driven selection pressures can adjust thermal plastic responses in growth schedules is not well understood. Comparing temperature‐induced plastic responses between sexes provides a promising but underexploited ...

Phylogenomics of the family Lachesillidae (Insecta: Psocodea: Psocomorpha)
Systematic Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 2, Page 316-327, April 2023., 2023 Monophyly of bark lice family Lachesillidae never was recovered. Monophyly of the tribe Graphocaeciliini and the genus Lachesilla never were recovered. Systematic position of Eolachesilla chilensis was unstable across different analyses and data sets.
