TLDR
A Florida strain of sweet potato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius), was found to have an expanded range which includes several new food crops allowing it to broaden its range.About:

Identification of a whitefly species by genomic and behavioral studies
TL;DR: Recognition of this new species, the silverleaf whitefly, is critical in the search for management options.
Journal ArticleDOI
Description of a Species of Bemisia (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae)
TL;DR: The species has been demonstrated to be distinct from B. tabaci (Gennadius) by crossing experiments, studies on intraspecific and interspecific mating behavior, analysis of allozymic frequencies, PCR analysis of genomic DNA, and morphological evaluation.

Does floral nectar improve biological control by parasitoids
George E. Heimpel,Mark A. Jervis +1 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that plant diversification can decrease pest pressure by providing sugar to parasitoids that would otherwise be sugar-limited has its origins in anecdotal or semi-quantitative observations of increased parasitism rates and biological control in the vicinity of flowering plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of soldiers in aphids.
David L. Stern,William A. Foster +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the distribution of soldier production requires a minimum of six to nine evolutionary origins plus at least one loss, and an optimality model for soldier investment strategies is presented to help guide investigations of the ecological factors selecting for soldiers.

Enhancement of Phloem exudation from cut petioles by chelating agents.
R. W. King,J. A. D. Zeevaart +1 more
TL;DR: The photosynthetic assimilates in leaves of Perilla crispa attached to the plant were labeled by treating the leaves with (14)CO(2), and it was concluded that the radioactive products in the solution are actually exuded by the phloem.

Studies on the Feeding and Nutrition of Tuberolachnus Salignus (Gmelin) (Homoptera, Aphididae)
TL;DR: In this paper, the sugar and nitrogen composition of the phloem sieve-tube sap ingested by Tuberolachnus salignus (Gmelin) feeding on Salix acutifolia stems, and the honeydew excreted by the aphids was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insect Nutrition: Current Developments and Metabolic Implications
TL;DR: Three decade s ago nutritional investigation of insects had developed to the point of describing complete qualitative dietar y requirements of several nonfastidious spe cies that readily accepted chemically defined diets, allowing individually deleted nutrients to be assessed in terms of growth and develop ment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intracellular symbiotes of the Homoptera
TL;DR: It is rather disappointing to report that 25 years later insect-microbial symbiosis research has not, in general, progressed beyond the initial descriptive phase.
