Seed preferences of Pyrrhocoris apterus (Heteroptera: Pyrrhocoridae): Are there specialized trophic populations?

European Journal of Entomology, 2011
The populations of the firebug Pyrrhocoris apterus (Heteroptera: Pyrrhocoridae) in Europe exhibit three kinds of host plant associations: feeding on seeds of (1) Tilia spp. (Tiliaceae), (2) Malvaceae (s. str.), and (3) Robinia pseudacacia (Fabaceae). The

The moulting arthropod: a complete genetic toolkit review

Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 6, Page 2338-2375, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Exoskeletons are a defining character of all arthropods that provide physical support for their segmented bodies and appendages as well as protection from the environment and predation. This ubiquitous yet evolutionarily variable feature has been instrumental in facilitating the adoption of a variety of lifestyles and the exploitation of ...

Sex‐biased gene content is associated with sex chromosome turnover in Danaini butterflies

Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 24, December 2024.
Abstract Sex chromosomes play an outsized role in adaptation and speciation, and thus deserve particular attention in evolutionary genomics. In particular, fusions between sex chromosomes and autosomes can produce neo‐sex chromosomes, which offer important insights into the evolutionary dynamics of sex chromosomes. Here, we investigate the evolutionary

Intra‐species quantification reveals differences in activity and sleep levels in the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 482-494, December 2024.
Different populations of Aedes aegypti, consisting of lab‐established and recently collected African lines display similar diurnal activity patterns. Despite this consistent diurnal activity, variations in activity and sleep levels are observed among the populations, where differences among lines were more pronounced in the lab‐adapted populations ...
