Differences between phytophagous and predatory species in Pentatomidae based on the mitochondrial genome

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.
The phytophagous and predatory species in Pentatomidae were compared and analyzed. And we constructed the phylogenetic trees and the time tree. Our research results provide data supporting for the evolutionary patterns and classification of Pentatomidae.

Blood meal sources of wild and domestic Triatoma infestans (Hemiptera : Reduviidae) in Bolivia : connectivity between cycles of transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: Chagas disease is a major public health problem in Latin America. Its etiologic agent, Trypanosoma cruzi, is mainly transmitted through the contaminated faeces of blood-sucking insects called triatomines. Triatoma infestans is the main vector

Trypanosomes and gut microbiota interactions in triatomine bugs and tsetse flies: A vectorial perspective

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 253-268, September 2024.
Trypanosoma sp. presence modulates or has zero effect on gut microbiota composition. Microbiota presence modulates or has zero effect on Trypanosoma sp. growth. Vector biology of triatomine bugs and tsetse flies influences their gut microbiota composition.

Ecological host fitting of Trypanosoma cruzi TcI in Bolivia: mosaic population structure, hybridization and a role for humans in Andean parasite dispersal. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
An improved understanding of how a parasite species exploits its genetic repertoire to colonize novel hosts and environmental niches is crucial to establish the epidemiological risk associated with emergent pathogenic genotypes.

Object use in insects

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 31, Issue 4, Page 1001-1014, August 2024.
Insects have been demonstrated to exhibit rich object‐use behaviors. The intelligence, pre‐existing manipulation behavior (e.g., ant use materials in nest building as pre‐existing behavior to cover inaccessible surfaces or drop particles behavior or food bury), and anatomical structure affect the innovation of object use.

Altruism during predation in an assassin bug [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Zelus annulosus is an assassin bug species mostly noted on Hirtella physophora, a myrmecophyte specifically associated with the ant Allomerus decemarticulatus known to build traps on host tree twigs to ambush insect preys. The Z.

Does the superfluous killing exhibited by spiders mask the functional response parameters? A case study from the perspective of biological control

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 148, Issue 4, Page 364-370, May 2024.
Abstract The meadow spittlebug Philaenus spumarius L. (Hemiptera: Aphrophoridae) is a xylem‐sap feeder and the most abundant and widespread vector of Xylella fastidiosa (Xanthomonadales: Xanthomonadaceae) throughout Europe. Control strategies for the disease are based on containment and eradication measures regulated by the European Union.

Comparative descriptions of eggs from three species of Rhodnius (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The authors describe and compare the morphological and ultrastructural characteristics of eggs from the three most recent described species of the genus Rhodnius Stål, 1859, which have not previously been studied. These species are Rhodnius colombiensis (
