While ecological interactions have been identified as determinant for biological control
efficiency, the role of evolution remains largely underestimated in biological control …

Cereals are some of the most important global crops that contribute directly and indirectly to
the production of food for human consumption. Cereal aphids can cause significant damage …

Key message Gene distributions and population genomics suggest artificial selection of
ghd7 osprr37, for extremely early heading date of rice, in the Tohoku region of Japan …

Simple Summary Sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci Gennadius, is a serious pest of many
agricultural crops worldwide. Numerous studies have examined the genetic structure of …

Evolution of Buchnera–aphid host symbioses is often studied among species at
macroevolutionary scales. Investigations within species offer a different perspective about …

Host plants used by phytophagous insects can have significant consequences on
demography parameters, overall lifetime fitness and their subsequent population dynamics …

BACKGROUND Understanding where species occur using species distribution models has
become fundamental to ecology. Although much attention has been paid to invasive …

Aphids, mainly distributed in temperate zones, exhibit seasonal generation-alternating
phenomena. Across the life cycle, different morphs are produced. Sitobion avenae …

MicroRNAs (miRNA) play a vital role in insects' growth and development and have
significant potential value in pest control. Previously, we identified miR-306 from small RNA …

The cultivation areas of crops have expanded all over the world into various environmental
conditions from their original areas along with human migration after domestication. Here …
