No Evidence of Bacterial Symbionts Influencing Host Specificity in Aphis gossypii Glover (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

Insects, 2022
The cotton-melon aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover, is a polyphagous insect pest with many host-specialized biotypes, such as the Cucurbitaceae- and Malvaceae-specialized (CU and MA) biotypes.

Plant pathogen‐mediated rapid acclimation of a host‐specialized aphid to a non‐host plant

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Polyphagous aphids often consist of host‐specialized lineages, which have greater fitness on their native hosts than on others. The underlying causes are important for understanding of the evolution of diet breadth and host shift of aphids.

Transcriptional Response of ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) Transporters to Insecticide in the Brown Planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Stål)

Insects, 2020
The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily is one of the largest groups of proteins and plays a non-negligible role in phase III of the detoxification process, which is highly involved in the response of insects to environmental stress (plant

Sublethal effects of acetamiprid and afidopyropen on Harmonia axyridis: insights from transcriptomics analysis

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023
Evaluating the sublethal effects of insecticide is crucial for protecting and utilizing natural enemies. In this study, we determined the sublethal effects of acetamiprid and afidopyropen on Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) and explored the potential molecular

Circadian Rhythms of Locomotor Activity Mediated by Cryptochrome 2 and Period 1 Genes in the Termites Reticulitermes chinensis and Odontotermes formosanus

Insects, 2023
Locomotor activity rhythms are crucial for foraging, mating and predator avoidance in insects. Although the circadian rhythms of activity have been studied in several termite species, the molecular mechanisms of circadian rhythms in termites are still ...

Interspecific Hybridization between the Two Sympatric Termite Reticulitermes Species under Laboratory Conditions

Insects, 2019
Closely related species have similar reproductive behaviors and recognition systems, which contribute to interspecific interactions. However, few studies have explored interspecific reproduction choice and mating in termites.

The Mechanisms of Social Immunity Against Fungal Infections in Eusocial Insects

Toxins, 2019
Entomopathogenic fungus as well as their toxins is a natural threat surrounding social insect colonies. To defend against them, social insects have evolved a series of unique disease defenses at the colony level, which consists of behavioral and ...
