Phylogenomics Resolves the Evolution of Sternorrhyncha (Insecta: Hemiptera). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Phylogeny of Sternorrhyncha based on Matrix2 under PMSF (LG+C60+F+R) model. ABSTRACT Sternorrhyncha, one of the four major suborders of Hemiptera, represents a phytophagous insect clade comprising nearly 18,000 described species. While recent phylogenomic studies have made significant efforts to elucidate the internal phylogenetic relationships within ...

Positive Selection Drives Mitochondrial Gene Rearrangement in Sternorrhyncha (Insecta: Hemiptera). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We have constructed the largest mitochondrial dataset for Sternorrhyncha to establish phylogenetic relationships. The mitochondrial genes of Coccoidea and Aleyrodoidea exhibit a notable prevalence of translocation and a high proportion of positive selection pressures.

Climate Change Drives the Distribution of Insect Vectors for GLRaV-3 on a Global Scale. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The distribution range of seven insect vectors of GLRaV‐3 were predicted by MaxEnt model. Thermal conditions were a vital factor constraining the potential distribution ranges of all vector insects. Centroid shifts suggested that the potential distribution range of soft scale will move northward under climate change. Our study provides implications for

An integrated social-ecological-evolutionary-phenotypic (SEEP) approach to understanding animal responses to urbanization. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT Humans play key roles in shaping the structure and processes of ecosystems globally, especially in cities. This recognition has prompted a recent focus on understanding urban systems via interactions between human social systems and ecological and evolutionary processes.

Host phylogeny and ecological associations best explain Wolbachia host shifts in scale insects

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 9, Page 2351-2363, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Wolbachia are among the most prevalent and widespread endosymbiotic bacteria on Earth. Wolbachia's success in infecting an enormous number of arthropod species is attributed to two features: the range of phenotypes they induce in their hosts, and their ability to switch between host species.

Commodity risk assessment of Malus domestica plants from Turkey

EFSA Journal, Volume 20, Issue 5, May 2022., 2022
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2019 as ‘High risk plants, plant products and other objects’. This Scientific Opinion covers plant health risks posed by dormant grafted plants, rootstocks, budwood and ...

Floral attraction and flower visitors of a subcanopy, tropical rainforest tree, Fontainea picrosperma

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 15, Page 10468-10482, August 2021., 2021
Pollinators beneath the rainforest canopy occupy a unique microclimate that is markedly different from the canopy environment that receives more light energy. We studied the floral attractants and floral visitors of a dioecious, subcanopy rainforest tree, Fontainea picrosperma (Euphorbiaceae), in northern Australia.

Arthropod facilitation mediated by abandoned dead domatia

Ecosphere, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2021., 2021
Abstract In ant–plant mutualistic interactions, plants provide shelter (domatia) and/or food to ants and in exchange, and ants provide protection against herbivores. After plant tissue senescence, ants are expected to abandon dead domatia, leaving these empty spaces available for other arthropods.
