View Article and Find Full Text PDFLiriomyza trifolii is an economically-significant polyphagous pest that infests plants grown in both field and greenhouse conditions. Unfortunately, the lack of genomic resources has hindered our understanding of its ecological adaptation and invasiveness. To address this, we assembled a chromosome-level genome sequence of L.

In recent years, We investigated the diversity of Plecoptera species in the major mountainous and forested areas of Jiangsu, recording a total of 20 species across 12 genera and five families.
New Information: In this paper, we examined the materials of from Jiangsu and described a new species, In addition, detailed English descriptions and colour pictures of are provided for the first time.

Background: A new species of the genus (Plecoptera, Leuctridae) from Yunnan Province, China, , is described and illustrated.
New Information: This new species is compared to the similar species, (Wu, 1949). Additionally, we provide a supplemental description and colour plates of .
The leafminer Liriomyza trifolii causes severe economic damage on ornamental and horticultural crops in China. Rapid cold hardening (RCH) is a phenomenon where cold tolerance in insects can be significantly enhanced after a short-term acclimation to low temperatures. In this study, the regulation of transcription in response to cold hardening was investigated in L.

Wolbachia are common heritable endosymbionts that influence many aspects of ecology and evolution in various insects, yet Wolbachia-mediated intracellular metabolic responses to temperature stress have been largely overlooked. Here, we introduced the Wolbachia strain wLhui from the invasive Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard) into a Drosophila Schneider 2 cell line (S2) and investigated the metabolite profile of wLhui-infected (S2_wLhui) and uninfected cell lines (S2_wu) under short-term exposure to either high (37°C), moderate (27°C), or low (7 and 17°C) temperatures. We find that Wolbachia infection, temperature stress, and their interactions significantly affect cellular metabolic profiles.

While multiple factors, like host species and diet, shape microbiota in arthropods, their impact on community assembly in wild insects remains largely unknown. In this study, we surveyed bacterial and fungal community assembly in nine sympatric wild insect species that share a common citrus fruit diet.

Here, we explored the temporal dynamics and assembly mechanisms within both bacterial and fungal communities in (Blanchard) during the transition from field to laboratory conditions. We observed a decrease in bacterial diversity and complexity of bacterial-fungal co-occurrence networks in leaf miners transitioning from wild to captive environments.

Background: Hainan Province is an island in the south of China and belongs to the Oriental Region. It has a unique geographical location and superior climatic conditions, providing a good living environment for Leuctridae insects. However, the species richness of the stonefly family Leuctridae in Hainan is low.
