Article Synopsis
- The Panchaetothripinae subfamily contains 42 genera and 146 species of leaf-feeding thrips, many of which are significant horticultural pests, with a focus on 18 pest-rich genera in this study.
- Using DNA barcoding, researchers obtained 171 sequences from 40 morphospecies, revealing that most species are monophyletic, though 8 showed cryptic diversity.
- Phylogenetic analysis confirmed the monophyly of each genus, established two major clades, and highlighted unresolved relationships among some genera, with the Tryphactothripini tribe being notably supported.
The fall armyworm (FAW), , is a serious pest of crucial crops causing great threats to the food security of the world. It has evolved resistance to various insecticides, while the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. Cuticular proteins (CPs), as primary components in cuticle, play an important role in insects' protection against environmental stresses.

Results show that the two thrips species reacted differently toward elevated CO2 concentration. Developmental duration decreased significantly (11.
