Article Abstract
This study adds seven species to the scale insect species list of Iceland, bringing the total number of recorded species to 15. Of these, 10 species can be considered as a part of the country checklist with breeding populations in Iceland (seven species can be found in outdoor conditions and three live indoors). An additional five species were recorded on imported fruits and most probably are not established in Iceland. A new species, Gerő & Szita, (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) is described from outdoor habitats, and the adult female is illustrated.

Hemiptera, the fifth most diverse insect order, are characterized by their high diversity in deep time, with 145 known extinct families. However, the precise timing of the origin of Hemiptera lineages has remained uncertain. Traditional approaches, molecular clock analyses and fossil calibrations, have overlooked much of this extinct diversity by failing to incorporate key fossil data.

The Citrus Under Protective Screen is a novel production system implemented to grow citrus free of huanglongbing disease vectored by Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri. Other significant pests such as mites, scales, thrips, mealybugs, and leafminers, as well as parasitoids and small predators, have been identified from Citrus Under Protective Screen and require management.

The collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates during the Eocene represents a major tectonic shift that significantly altered biotic dynamics and promoted species diversification across the Oriental region. To explain the diversification of taxa from the Indian subcontinent into Southeast Asia, two principal hypotheses have been proposed: the "Biotic-ferry" and "Step-stone" models. The subfamily Perittopinae, a lineage of semi-aquatic bugs comprising a single genus and 20 extant species, provides an ideal system for testing these hypotheses due to its disjunct distribution spanning the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia.

Tussah pupa protein (TPP), rich in diverse bioactive components and demonstrating extensive physiological activities, has attracted attention in food processing. However, its limited emulsion stability restricts application potential, requiring improvement of techno-functional properties. The effects of myofibrillar protein (MP) compounding coupled with ultrasonic treatment on the emulsifying properties and nutritional value of TPP were systematically investigated from a multi-scale perspective in this study.

Plant viruses are known to indirectly manipulate insect vector behavior by altering host-plant phenotypes, yet the mechanisms by which they directly regulate vector behavior to enhance transmission remain poorly understood. Here, we reveal how the southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus (SRBSDV) reprograms the host preference of its planthopper vector, Sogatella furcifera, from infected to healthy rice plants by disrupting immune-olfactory crosstalk. We demonstrate that the SRBSDV-encoded P8 protein competitively binds to the S.
