Bacterial symbionts, Buchnera, and starvation on wing dimorphism in English grain aphid, Sitobion avenae (F.) (Homoptera: Aphididae) [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2015 Wing dimorphism in aphids can be affected by multiple cues, including both biotic (nutrition, crowding, interspecific interactions, the presence of natural enemies, maternal and transgenerational effects, and alarm pheromone) and abiotic factors ...

Wing dimorphism in aphids [PDF]
Heredity, 2006 Many species of insects display dispersing and nondispersing morphs. Among these, aphids are one of the best examples of taxa that have evolved specialized morphs for dispersal versus reproduction. The dispersing morphs typically possess a full set of wings as well as a sensory and reproductive physiology that is adapted to flight and reproducing in a ...

THE EVOLUTION OF WING DIMORPHISM IN INSECTS [PDF]
Evolution, 1986 Wing-dimorphic insects are excellent subjects for a study of the evolution of dispersal since the nondispersing brachypterous morph is easily recognized. The purpose of this paper is to develop a framework within which the evolution of wing dimorphism can be understood.

The miR-9b microRNA mediates dimorphism and development of wing in aphids [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2020 Wing dimorphism is a phenomenon of phenotypic plasticity in aphid dispersal. However, the signal transduction for perceiving environmental cues (e.g., crowding) and the regulation mechanism remain elusive. Here, we found that aci-miR-9b was the only down-regulated microRNA (miRNA) in both crowding-induced wing dimorphism and during wing ...

Comprehensive full-Length transcriptomic resource for wing dimorphism in English green aphid, Sitobion avenae [PDF]
Scientific DataThe English green aphid, Sitobion avenae, a major pest of wheat, exhibits classical wing dimorphism. To support research and data sharing on the molecular basis of this trait, we generated full-length transcriptomes from three different developmental ...

Pharmacological Effects of NADPH Oxidase Inhibitors on Butterfly Wing Morphogenesis and Color Pattern Formation in Junonia orithya [PDF]
InsectsDuring the early pupal stage in butterflies, the peripheral portion of wing tissue undergoes apoptosis to finalize adult wing morphology, and wing color patterns are determined coordinately.

Evidence of Wing Shape Sexual Dimorphism in Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus in Mallorca, Spain
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus (Skuse, 1894) is a highly invasive species widely distributed on the Spanish Mediterranean coast and the Balearic archipelago.

Common Noctule Bats Are Sexually Dimorphic in Migratory Behaviour and Body Size but Not Wing Shape. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Within the large order of bats, sexual size dimorphism measured by forearm length and body mass is often female-biased. Several studies have explained this through the effects on load carrying during pregnancy, intrasexual competition, as well as the ...
