Plant–arthropod associations in custard apples, genus Annona: A global perspective

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 7, Page 651-660, July 2025.
Annona species, commonly known as custard apples, engage with a wide range of arthropods, including both herbivores and pollinators, which shape their ecology. These plants produce secondary metabolites that may serve as natural defenses against pests.

Vector Biology of the Soft Scales Parthenolecanium corni (Bouché) and Parthenolecanium persicae (Fabricius) (Hemiptera: Coccidae) With Grapevine Leafroll‐Associated Viruses and Grapevine Virus A

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 3, Page 405-416, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Controlled experiments were conducted to enrich our knowledge on the transmission of different grapevine leafroll‐associated ampeloviruses (GLRaV‐1, ‐2, ‐3 and ‐4) by Parthenolecanium corni scale insect and to look for vector ability of Parthenolecanium persicae. GLRaV‐1 and the vitivirus GVA were transmitted by P.

Ultrastructural and Functional Organization of Maxillary Palps in Ladybird Species (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) With Different Feeding Preferences

open access: yesMicroscopy Research and Technique, Volume 88, Issue 3, Page 761-780, March 2025.
This research described the ultrastructural organization of Coccinellidae maxillary palps. The apical sensory area housed the largest number of sensilla. The sensilla belonged to three types: uniporous, multiporous, and campaniform sensilla. Large number of sensilla and sensory neurons provide evidence that maxillary palps act as primary sensory organ ...

Why so many Hemiptera invasions?

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 30, Issue 12, December 2024.
Abstract Aim The Hemiptera is the fifth‐largest insect order but among non‐native insect species is approximately tied with the Coleoptera as the most species‐rich insect order (Hemiptera comprise 20% more species than in world fauna). This over‐representation may result from high propagule pressure or from high species invasiveness.
