Distribution of midleg campaniform sensilla in Hemiptera and their association with vibrational communication

The paper maps campaniform sensilla distribution in Hemiptera midlegs and finds higher counts in taxa with documented vibrational communication.

Diversity of egg parasitoids of stink bugs in France, with emphasis on Scelionidae parasitizing main Pentatomidae pests.

The paper surveys egg parasitoids of stink bugs in France, identifies taxonomic issues, and highlights the dominance of Scelionidae, particularly Trissolcus species.

Unraveling Wheat Aphid Diversity in Bangladesh Through Integrative Genetic and Morphological Approaches

This study identifies five wheat aphid species in Bangladesh using DNA barcoding and morphological analysis, confirming species diversity and providing a baseline for pest management.

Novel, visual-attracting traps, accompanying technology, and related behavior of overwintering brown marmorated stink bugs (Halyomorpha halys Stal)

The paper develops and tests novel traps and attractants to manage overwintering brown marmorated stink bugs, finding that trap placement and materials significantly influence bug attraction.

Is the winter survival area of Empoasca fabae continuously expanding?

This paper analyzes temperature data to determine if the winter survival area of Empoasca fabae has expanded over 126 years, finding no significant trend in its expansion.

Phylogenomics and Fossilized Birth-Death Dating Reveals Extensive Post-Cretaceous Worldwide Diversification of Cicadidae (Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha)

The paper uses phylogenomic and fossilized birth-death dating to show Cicadidae diversified extensively after the K-Pg extinction event.

Uncovering diversity and climatic drivers of leafhopper-parasitoid dynamics in Canada

The paper monitors leafhopper-parasitoid dynamics in Canadian strawberry farms, finding climate-driven shifts in leafhopper abundance and parasitism rates, along with genomic insights into parasitoid diversity.

Implementation of an Artificial Rearing System and Molecular Identification of Gyropsylla spegazziniana (Lizer & Trelles) (Hemiptera: Psylloidea: Aphalaridae)

This study develops an artificial rearing system for Gyropsylla spegazziniana and provides molecular confirmation of its taxonomic classification within the Aphalaridae family.

Deciphering the patterns and timing of diversification of the genus Melanastera (Hemiptera: Psylloidea: Liviidae) in the Neotropics

This study investigates the diversification patterns of Melanastera, a Neotropical psyllid genus, using molecular phylogenetic data to link diversification to host shifts and biogeographic events.

Additions to the list of arthropods of Reunion Island

This paper adds 101 new arthropod taxa to the inventory of Reunion Island, with Hymenoptera and Hemiptera being the most represented orders.

The serine/threonine kinase CcAkt regulates the fertility of Coridius chinensis

This study characterizes the Akt gene in Coridius chinensis, showing its expression patterns and role in reproductive processes through hormonal regulation.

High-quality genome of the zoophytophagous stinkbug, Nesidiocoris tenuis, informs their food habitadaptation

This paper presents the high-quality genome of Nesidiocoris tenuis, revealing genetic factors related to its dual herbivorous and carnivorous diet and symbiotic microorganisms.

Genomic insights into clonal diversity in UK populations of the Potato aphid, Macrosiphum euphorbiae

This study presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly of a parasitoid-resistant potato aphid clonal line and analyzes UK aphid populations to reveal genotype-specific traits and clonal diversity.

Chromosome-level genome assembly of the horned-gall aphid, Schlechtendalia chinensis (Hemiptera: Aphididae: Erisomatinae)

This paper presents the first chromosome-level genome assembly of the galling aphid Schlechtendalia chinensis, revealing its small genome size and gene content, and provides insights into gall formation and plant interaction.
