Jumping mechanisms in jumping plant lice (Hemiptera, Sternorrhyncha, Psyllidae) [PDF]
SummaryJumping mechanisms and performance were analysed in three species of psyllids (Hemiptera, Sternorrhyncha) that ranged from 2 to 4 mm in body length and from 0.7 to 2.8 mg in weight. Jumping was propelled by rapid movements of the short hind legs that were only 10-20% longer than the other legs and 61-77% of body length.

Carboniferous fossils enlighten the systematics and evolution of Hemiptera
Abstract Fossils are witnesses to the evolutionary processes undergone by living lineages. The earliest occurrence of clades provides rich insights into the timing of diversification of lineages and better delimits the groups that compose them. Hemiptera are a remarkable order within the insects due to their high morphological and ecological diversity.

Farmland ecotones support high parasitoid diversity, despite lower arthropod richness compared to semi‐natural habitats. Farmland ecotones support high pentatomoid bug abundance, while pentatomoid parasitoids were equally abundant and diverse in both ecotones.

Plant diversification impact on the oviposition response of a predatory bug in a laboratory set‐up
Orius majusculus laid nearly twice as many eggs in cages with two different crop species compared with a single species. Depending on crop species, O. majusculus utilised different plant structures for oviposition. Crop diversification supports reproduction, and thus, is likely to have a positive effect on O.
