Hemiptera Insect Studies

First Molecular Verification of the Cotton Jassid (Amrasca biguttula) in the United States

The paper confirms the first molecular presence of the cotton jassid in the United States using DNA barcoding and phylogenetic analysis.

Edge effect on the distribution of the Green Shield Bug Palomena prasina in hazelnut orchards, and the role of adjacent habitats in crop colonization.

This study examines how adjacent habitats influence the distribution and population dynamics of the green shield bug in hazelnut orchards, suggesting potential IPM strategies.

Global phylogeography of Amrasca biguttula (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) across eight countries reveals a single-haplotype incursion into the United States beyond its putative native range

The paper analyzes genetic diversity of Amrasca biguttula across multiple regions to determine its native and invaded ranges and identify introduction patterns.

Seasonal Phenology of Empoasca fabae (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) in Quebec, Canada

This study examines the seasonal phenology of Empoasca fabae in Quebec using degree-day models and CLIMEX ecological niche modeling, finding earlier emergence and higher generational potential in warmer regions.

Insights into the triggering factors and determination mechanisms of host alternation in aphids

This study identifies key leaf maturity stages that trigger migrant morph development and irreversible host alternation in aphids.

Jumping plant-lice of the tribe Paurocephalini (Hemiptera: Psylloidea: Liviidae) in Brazil

The paper describes new species of jumping plant-lice in Brazil and provides identification keys and host plant information.

Phylogenomics resolves the relationship and the evolutionary history of planthoppers (Insecta: Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha)

This study uses genome-level data to resolve the phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary history of planthoppers, identifying new taxonomic placements and dating the origin of the group to the Permian period.

Invasion and spread of the neotropical leafhopper Curtara insularis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) in Africa and North America and the role of high-altitude windborne migration in invasive insects

This study investigates the invasion of Curtara insularis in Africa and North America, finding that high-altitude windborne dispersal plays a key role in its spread.

Comparative genomics and the salivary transcriptome of the redbanded stink bug shed light on its high damage potential to soybean

This study investigates the redbanded stink bug's high damage potential to soybean by analyzing its salivary transcriptome and comparative genomics, finding differential retention of ancestral genes rather than gene duplication drives its proteolytic capabilities.

The dynamics of speciation in the gall-forming aphid Geoica spp. within and among Pistacia host tree species

The paper analyzes the phylogeny and genetic structure of Geoica aphids on two Pistacia host species, finding genetic differentiation and host specificity.

De novo construction of a transcriptome for the stink bug crop pest Chinavia impicticornis during late development

The paper de novo assembles and functionally annotates the transcriptome of Chinavia impicticornis during late development, identifying 39,478 transcripts with 12,665 assigned GO terms.

Molecular evolutionary trends and feeding ecology diversification in the Hemiptera, anchored by the milkweed bug genome

The paper presents the milkweed bug genome and comparative analyses to study molecular evolution and feeding ecology in Hemiptera.
