Many insects' gut microbiota derive partly or wholly from environmental sources. These microbes may be transient, passing through in a matter of hours, days, a developmental stage, or a host generation. There is increasing recognition of th...

Many types of viruses have been identified in parasitoid wasps and other Hymenoptera. Parasitoid wasps also transmit several viruses to hosts through the piercing ovipositors that females use to lay eggs. Most viruses that are known to be t...

Bumble bees (Bombus) are prominent keystone pollinators globally and thus serve as model taxa for numerous facets of biology from social evolution to foraging economics. Many of the ∼265 species are in decline, motivating research that aim...

The superfamily Elateroidea (click beetles, fireflies, soldier beetles, net-winged beetles, and relatives) constitute a morphologically diverse group of polyphagan beetles with an ancient evolutionary history and worldwide distribution. Ela...
Life-History Evolution of Insects in Response to Climate Variation: Seasonal Timing Versus Thermal Physiology [0.03%]

The biology of holometabolan larvae, which are often the main feeding stage, is extremely diverse. Phytophagy plays a significant role in basal hymenopteran groups, in Lepidoptera, and in megadiverse groups of polyphagan beetles. A switch t...

Mosquitoes remain the greatest threat to global human health because they transmit pathogens to humans and other animals when females imbibe a blood meal. Disease transmission is restricted temporally and spatially because not all seasons o...
Insect-Specific RNA Viruses of Agricultural Pest Insects: Diversity, Evolution, Function, and Potential Applications [0.03%]

A vast diversity of RNA viruses has been uncovered in agricultural pest insects over the past decade through unbiased metatranscriptomics approaches. These viruses, known as insect-specific viruses (ISVs), are restricted to insects and cann...
