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 .
Heritable endosymbiont is prevalent among arthropods, serving multiple functions for their hosts. However, the role of in mediating thermal preference selection remains largely unexplored. In this study, we utilized a custom-built thermal gradient to evaluate the thermal preference (Tp) of 1367 individuals of the invasive leaf-miner with or without wLhui from Yunnan and Xinjiang populations.

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.

is a significant invasive pest that targets horticultural and vegetable crops, causing large-scale outbreaks characterized by pronounced thermotolerance and insecticide resistance. This study examined the impact of long-term selection for abamectin resistance during the larval stage of on its population dynamics and thermal tolerance. We conducted a comprehensive comparison between the abamectin-resistant strain (AB-R) and the susceptible strain (S), including age-stage, two-sex life table analysis, thermal preference (T), critical thermal maximum (CT), heat knockdown times (HKDTs), eclosion and survival rates, and expression under heat stress.

In this study, we investigated the effects of elevated temperature on the tolerance of MEMA1 to abamectin (AB) and thianethixam (TH) insecticides. We firstly cloned two new CYP450 genes from MEAM1, including one CYP6 family gene () and one CYP305 family gene ().

Latreille, 1796 and Ris, 1902 are two largest genera of the family with the highest diversity in China.
New Information: Two new species of Latreille, 1796 of the family Nemouridae, Zhu, Rehman & Du sp.
In the field of optical fiber vibration signal recognition, one-dimensional signals have few features. People often used the shallow layer of a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN), which results in fewer features being learned by the network, leading to a poor recognition rate. There are also many complex algorithms and data processing methods, which make the whole signal recognition process more complicated.
