Molecular Characterization of Odorant Receptor Gene <i>GmolOR7</i> in <i>Grapholita molesta</i> (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) Open
Grapholita molesta Busck (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a major fruit pest of a wide range of Rosaceae trees. Olfaction plays a crucial role in insect behavioral activities, and insects primarily rely on odorant receptors (ORs) to detect od…

Microsatellite‐based analysis of genetic structure and gene flow of<i>Mythimna separata</i>(Walker) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in China Open
The oriental armyworm, Mythimna separata , is a serious agricultural pest in China. Seasonal and roundtrip migration has recently led to sudden, localized outbreaks and crop losses. To evaluate genetic differentiation between populations i…

Morph-specific differences in life history traits between the winged and wingless morphs of the aphid, <i>Sitobion avenae</i> (Fabricius) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) Open
Life history traits were evaluated in the wing polyphenic aphid, Sitobion avenae (Fabricius), by rearing the winged and wingless morphs under the laboratory conditions. Winged morph with large thoraces exhibited a significantly greater mor…

Reproductive adaptation in alate adult morphs of the English grain aphid Sitobion avenae under starvation stress Open
Adapting their reproductive physiology is a tactic that insects use in responding to conditions of food unavailability. The present study examined the potential effects of starvation periods on the ovarian development and reproduction of a…

Monogenean fauna of alien tilapias (Cichlidae) in south China Open
Tilapias are important aquaculture fishes that have been introduced widely all over the world, often carrying their monogenean parasites with them. An extensive investigation on monogeneans of invasive tilapias was conducted in 19 natural …

Effects of constant and stage-specific-alternating temperature on the survival, development and reproduction of the oriental armyworm, Mythimna separata (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Open
Migratory insects make diverse adaptive strategies in response to changes in external environment. Temperature has an impact on the survival, development, reproduction, and migration initiation of insects. Previous research has primarily b…
