The oldest Naibiomorpha (Insecta, Hemiptera): new fossil from NW China with implications for their early evolution [PDF]
Fossil RecordThe early morphology and evolution of Naibiomorpha, an extinct infraorder of Sternorrhyncha, remain poorly understood due to scarce fossil material.

Organization of the mitochondrial genomes of whiteflies, aphids, and psyllids (Hemiptera, Sternorrhyncha) [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2004 Abstract Background With some exceptions, mitochondria within the class Insecta have the same gene content, and generally, a similar gene order allowing the proposal of an ancestral gene order. The principal exceptions are several orders within the Hemipteroid assemblage including the order Thysanoptera ...

A molecular phylogeny of Hemiptera inferred from mitochondrial genome sequences. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Classically, Hemiptera is comprised of two suborders: Homoptera and Heteroptera. Homoptera includes Cicadomorpha, Fulgoromorpha and Sternorrhyncha. However, according to previous molecular phylogenetic studies based on 18S rDNA, Fulgoromorpha has a ...

Checklist of the scale insects (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Coccomorpha) of New Caledonia [PDF]
Zoosystema, 2016 ABSTRACT We provide an up-to-date catalogue of the Coccomorpha Rubsaamen, 1899 of New Caledonia based on studies of collected and curated specimens and on the literature. One hundred and eighteen species (118) in ten families have been recorded to date, in 70 genera.

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, EarlyView.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Hemipteran vectors of stylet‐borne plant viruses: Aphids lead the charge
Insect Science, EarlyView.Among all sap‐feeding hemipterans, aphids stand out by far as the most important vectors of noncirculative plant viruses. Compared to whiteflies and mealybugs, aphids’ highly specialized stylet anatomy and distinct feeding behaviors contribute, together with other features of their biology, to their remarkable efficiency in transmitting stylet‐borne ...

The Insect Calculator: A web tool to predict meadow arthropods based on mowing impacts
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.Although the biodiversity crisis and insect decline have gained increasing scientific and public attention, they persist, indicating that current measures are insufficient. The Insect Calculator (insektentaschenrechner.de/en), a digital tool that models and visualises the effects of mowing and environmental parameters on arthropod density and species ...

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2026.Genomic, proteomic and phylogenetic analyses of the obligate yeast‐like symbiont (YLS) associated with Scaphoideus titanus revealed retained metabolic flexibility and a monophyletic origin of insect‐associated YLSs within a free‐living fungal lineage. A novel computational pipeline was used to mine NCBI transcriptomic data and identified new candidate ...

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.Moderate manual thinning (50F) maintained arthropod diversity comparable to untreated controls while reducing shrub dominance, demonstrating that structural heterogeneity buffers biodiversity loss during rangeland restoration in Namibian bush‐encroached systems. These findings advocate mosaic debushing strategies that preserve vegetation complexity and
