The complete mitochondrial genome of Dicraeus orientalis Becker, 1911 (Diptera: Chloropidae)
Dicraeus orientalis feeds on the seeds of Poaceae. The complete mitochondrial genome of D. orientalis was sequenced and annotated as the first representative of the family Chloropidae. The full length of mitogenome was 16,188 bp, consisting of 13 protein-

Determination of fitness traits of Orius strigicollis Poppius (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) on Pectinophora gossypiella (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) using two-sex life table analysis [PDF]
Background Pink bollworm (Pectinophora gossypiella) is a destructive insect pest of cotton crops in China and globally, which is actively predated on by Orius strigicollis. Studies on the fitness or survival of O. strigicollis fed on P.

Drones: Innovative Technology for Use in Precision Pest Management. [PDF]
Arthropod pest outbreaks are unpredictable and not uniformly distributed within fields. Early outbreak detection and treatment application are inherent to effective pest management, allowing management decisions to be implemented before pests are well ...

A Method for Identification of Biotype-Specific Salivary Effector Candidates of Aphid
Polyphagous aphids often consist of host-specialized biotypes that perform poorly in non-native hosts. The underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Host-specialized biotypes may express biotype-specific salivary effectors or elicitors that determine aphid ...

Temperature warming strengthens the mutualism between ghost ants and invasive mealybugs
Although the exogenous forces that directly affect the mutualisms between ants and honeydew-producing hemipterans have been well documented, few studies have been focused on the impacts of environmental warming on ant-hemipteran interactions.

Nanopesticides: Promising Future in Sustainable Pest Management
Insects form the most successful and diverse group of animals present on earth today. Humans have shared a complex relationship with the insects. Though insects are indispensable as pollinators of crops yet at the same time they act as major destroyer of grains, pulses and fruits in the fields along with their post- harvest storage.

Interference Competition for Mutualism between Ant Species Mediates Ant-Mealybug Associations
Ant-hemipteran mutualism has been well documented, and many studies have reported the interference competition between ant species for the mutualism.
