efficiently detecting plant pests. Although detection by humans can be useful in detecting …

While working on an identification guide to the sawflies of Fennoscandia, we encountered
numerous taxonomic problems, for some of which we present solutions. Dicrostema Benson …

Evolutionary changes in geographic distribution and larval host plants may promote the
rapid diversification of montane insects, but this scenario has been rarely investigated. We …

Gut microbes play important roles for their hosts. Previous studies suggest that host-
microbial systems can form long-term associations over evolutionary time and the dynamic …

BACKGROUND Helicoverpa armigera and Aphis gossypii are two important insect species
