RNAi bioassays targeting bursicon reveal potential targets for pest control of Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata.

Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata represents a significant economic pest, typically controlled through the use of chemical insecticides. The introduction of RNA interference (RNAi) technology has opened new avenues for biopesticide development, leading to the identification of various genes that are crucial for the growth and development of insects. However, the efficient screening of target genes in H.

Transcriptome-Wide Identification of Neuropeptides and Neuropeptide Receptors in the Twenty-Eight-Spotted Ladybird .

The ladybird beetle, , is an oligophagous pest with significant economic impact. This pest causes considerable economic damage on numerous Solanaceae crops. Neuropeptides, along with their designated receptors, play a pivotal role in regulating diverse biological processes in insects, presenting a promising avenue for innovative pest management strategies.

Two new species of the Amphinemura luteipes species group (Plecoptera: Nemouridae) from Xizang, China.

Two new stonefly species of the nemourid genus Amphinemura Ris, 1902, A. beibeng sp. nov.

Synergistic effects of Pleistocene geological and climatic events on complex phylogeographic history of widespread sympatric species of Megaloptera in East Asia.

Unraveling the phylogeographic histories of species remains a key endeavor for comprehending the evolutionary processes contributing to the rich biodiversity and high endemism found in East Asia. In this study, we explored the phylogeographic patterns and demographic histories of three endemic fishfly and dobsonfly species ( , , and ) belonging to the holometabolan order Megaloptera. These species, which share a broad and largely overlapping distribution, were analyzed using comprehensive mitogenomic data.

The chromosome-level genome assembly of the giant dobsonfly Acanthacorydalis orientalis (McLachlan, 1899).

Acanthacorydalis orientalis (McLachlan, 1899) (Megaloptera: Corydalidae) is an important freshwater-benthic invertebrate species that serves as an indicator for water-quality biomonitoring and is valuable for conservation from East Asia. Here, a high-quality reference genome for A. orientalis was constructed using Oxford Nanopore sequencing and High throughput Chromosome Conformation Capture (Hi-C) technology.

Insight into higher-level phylogeny of Neuropterida: Evidence from secondary structures of mitochondrial rRNA genes and mitogenomic data.

It is well known that the rRNA structure information is important to assist phylogenetic analysis through identifying homologous positions to improve alignment accuracy. In addition, the secondary structure of some conserved motifs is highly stable among distantly related taxa, which can provide potentially informative characters for estimating phylogeny. In this paper, we applied the high-throughput pooled sequencing approach to the determination of neuropteran mitogenomes.

The complete mitochondrial genome of (Hemiptera: Tingidae).

The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of has been sequenced and annotated. The entire mitogenome is a typical circle double-stranded DNA molecule of 15,635b p and consisted of 37 genes and a control region in the typical invertebrate mitochondrial gene arrangement. Phylogenetic analysis recovered the momophyly of Gerromorpha, Enicocephalomorpha and Cimicomorpha.

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence from the longicorn beetle Obrium sp. (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae).

The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Obrium sp. was sequenced, which was the first representation from the longicorn beetle genus Obrium. The whole mitogenome is a typical circular DNA molecule of 15 680 bp, and has similar gene content and gene order to previously reported beetle species.
