Checklist of Iranian Aphids (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Aphidomorpha) [PDF]
The paper presents a comprehensive compilation of 543 species and 24 subspecies of aphids, within 144 genera, belonging to 15 subfamilies, 3 families and three superfamilies of Aphidomorpha recorded to date from Iran. Among them, 35 species of aphids are

Disentangling the effects of multifunctional forestry practices on the abundances of birds and their invertebrate prey. [PDF]
Abstract European forests are increasingly managed to harmonize production goals with biodiversity conservation, through practices such as retention and close‐to‐nature forestry. Forest birds may benefit from these practices, but it remains unclear how the effects of different management practices compare, and whether responses to management are driven

Fossils reshape the Sternorrhyncha evolutionary tree (Insecta, Hemiptera) [PDF]
AbstractThe Sternorrhyncha, which comprise about 18,700 described recent species, is a suborder of the Hemiptera, one of big five most diverse insect orders. In the modern fauna, these tiny phytophages comprise insects of great ecological and economic importance, like aphids (Aphidomorpha), scale insects (Coccidomorpha), whiteflies (Aleyrodomorpha) and

Endemism and Conservation of Hemiptera on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
Endemism patterns of Hemiptera on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau (QTP) are mainly driven by historical climate change. Existing protected areas do not sufficiently cover endemism hotspots. ABSTRACT The Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau is essential for the maintenance of global biodiversity.

We explore and expand on the morphological term digitule. The term was originally proposed for toe-like setae on a species of Phylloxera Boyer de Fonscolombe, 1834 (Hemiptera, Sternorrhyncha, Aphidomorpha) by Henry Shimer, an American naturalist.

The highly rearranged mitochondrial genomes of three economically important scale insects and the mitochondrial phylogeny of Coccoidea (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha) [PDF]
The mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of scale insects are less known in comparison to other insects, which hinders the phylogenetic and evolutionary studies of Coccoidea and higher taxa.

Sap-sucking Hemiptera, tending ants, and Sternorrhyncha predators on Acacia auriculiformis saplings fertilized with dehydrated sewage sludge [PDF]
Soil fertilization with dehydrated sewage sludge accelerates the recovery process of degraded areas, improving nutrient concentration, and favors the development of webs with pioneer plants such as Acacia auriculiformis and insects.
