Does the shrub layer act as an intermediary? Effects on abundance of insects and abundances of particular insect orders caught flying in the canopies of deciduous forests in Central Germany

European Journal of Entomology, 2020
Scientists and society are increasingly becoming aware of loss of insect biodiversity and biomass. The level of biodiversity determines the efficiency of ecological communities to capture essential resources, produce biomass, decompose and recycle ...

Vegetation type mediates how urbanization reshapes the structure, function, and spatial variation of soil food webs

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Urbanization represents one of the major anthropogenic alterations of the Earth's surface, with significant impacts on biodiversity and its functions. Soil animals are essential components of biodiversity, and their trophic interactions play integral roles in the ...

Colour vision in thrips (Thysanoptera)

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2022
Insects are an astonishingly successful and diverse group, occupying the gamut of habitats and lifestyle niches. They represent the vast majority of described species and total terrestrial animal biomass on the planet. Their success is in part owed to their sophisticated visual systems, including colour vision, which drive a variety of complex ...

Full‐length transcriptome profiling of true bug mitochondrial genomes reveals the unique transcriptional regulation during insect evolution

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The mitogenome was transcribed into complete primary polycistrons on both strands. The heteropteran mitochondrial transcription termination factor (HmTTF) functions as a bidirectional attenuator rather than a terminator, and co‐evolution of HmTTF and the binding sites was observed.

Hemipteran vectors of stylet‐borne plant viruses: Aphids lead the charge

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Among all sap‐feeding hemipterans, aphids stand out by far as the most important vectors of noncirculative plant viruses. Compared to whiteflies and mealybugs, aphids’ highly specialized stylet anatomy and distinct feeding behaviors contribute, together with other features of their biology, to their remarkable efficiency in transmitting stylet‐borne ...
