This study shows that introducing novel endosymbionts into the aphid Diuraphis noxia alters its dispersal ability and plant feeding damage, with Rickettsiella increasing damage and Regiella reducing it.

The paper identifies a superclone driving insecticide resistance in Acyrthosiphon kondoi across its invasive range through genomic and functional analyses.

This study shows that aphid endosymbionts influence ladybird predation rates, with effects varying by temperature and aphid species.
