Journal ArticleDOI
Numerous transposed sequences of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I-II in aphids of the genus Sitobion (Hemiptera: Aphididae).
Paul Sunnucks,Dinah F. Hales +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that a proportion of the inferred change in the nonmitochondrial sequences occurred before transposition, and that Sitobion aphids (and other species exhibiting mtDNA transposition) may be important for studying the molecular evolution of mtDNA and pseudogenes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predaceous Coccinellidae in biological control.
John J. Obrycki,T. J. Kring +1 more
TL;DR: Greater emphasis is needed on evaluation, predator specificity, understanding colonization of new environments, and assessment of community-level interactions to maximize the use of coccinellids in biological control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular sabotage of plant defense by aphid saliva
TL;DR: It is demonstrated in vitro that aphid saliva induces dispersed forisomes to revert back to the nonplugging contracted state, and this provides aphids with access to a continuous flow of phloem sap and is a critical adaptation instrumental in the evolutionary success of aphids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Census of the Bacterial Community of the Gypsy Moth Larval Midgut by Using Culturing and Culture-Independent Methods
TL;DR: The results provide the first comprehensive description of the microbial diversity of a lepidopteran midgut and demonstrate that the plant species in the diet influences the composition of the gut bacterial community.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aphid activities during sieve element punctures.
E. Prado,W.F. Tjallingii +1 more
TL;DR: Aphid salivation in sieve elements and phloem sap ingestion were linked to waveforms in the Electrical Penetration Graph, supporting the present hypothesis that during this pattern the saliva is mixed with the phloen sap in the single canal at the stylet tips and ingested immediately, without reaching the plant tissue.

Insect Pathogens as Biological Control Agents: Do They Have a Future?
TL;DR: Embedded entomopathogenic viruses, bacteria, fungi, nematodes, and protozoa as inundatively applied microbial control agents can be effective and serve as alternatives to broad-spectrum chemical insecticides.
