Wing Plasticity Is Associated with Growth and Energy Metabolism in Two Color Morphs of the Pea Aphid [PDF]
InsectsThe pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum, is a major pest of legume crops, exhibiting distinct polymorphism in terms of wings and body color. We found that, under crowded conditions, the red morph A.

Novel Temporal Expression Patterns of EBF-Binding Proteins in Wing Morphs of The Grain Aphid Sitobion miscanthi [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 High chemosensitivity of insects to volatile organic compounds (VOC) stimuli is mediated by odorant binding proteins (OBPs). In aphids, three OBPs (OBP3, OBP7 and OBP9) are E-β-farnesene (EBF)-binding proteins.

Cuticular Pegs near Wing Bases in Aphids of the Subfamily Eriosomatinae Kirkaldy, 1905 s. str. (Insecta, Aphididae) [PDF]
InsectsAphids have two general types of morphs: alate and apterous. While apterous morphs exploit existing local resources, the alate morphs disperse in search of proper host plant species for settlement and reproduction.

Transcriptomic and DNA Methylation Profiles of Alternative Aphid Morphs and Genotypes [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionPea aphids can develop alternative morphs when exposed to stressful conditions, showing differences between genotypes in their stress responses. Although several biological pathways regulating alternative morph production have been investigated, the role

Wings as Part of the Sensory System in the Aphid Subfamily Eriosomatinae s. lat. (Insecta, Hemiptera) [PDF]
InsectsWings are a crucial evolutionary trait of insects and constitute an important part of their sensory system. Phloem-feeding aphids specialising in particular host plant species require an efficient sensory system and locomotive abilities to find an ...

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 ...

Raptor wing morphing with flight speed [PDF]
Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2021 In gliding flight, birds morph their wings and tails to control their flight trajectory and speed. Using high-resolution videogrammetry, we reconstructed accurate and detailed three-dimensional geometries of gliding flights for three raptors (barn owl,Tyto alba; tawny owl,Strix aluco, and goshawk,Accipiter gentilis).
