There is a considerable interest in trying to understand how aphids find their host plants
because they are a major cause of economic losses in agricultural and horticultural …

▪ Abstract Wind-borne migration, in which migrants ascend to altitudes at which they are
transported downwind, has evolved independently in several insect orders. The use of a …

From the rain forests of Borneo to the tenements of Manhattan, winged insects are a
conspicuous and abundant feature of life on earth. Here, Robert Dudley presents the first …

This review addresses some of the biological complexities presented by aphid-transmitted
viruses of potato, Solanum tuberosum L., and their vectors and discusses the application of …

Aphids exhibit a polymorphism whereby individual aphids are either winged or unwinged.
The winged dispersal morph is mainly responsible for the colonization of new plants and, in …

As French populations of the aphid Sitobion avenae exhibit a range of reproductive modes,
this species provides a good opportunity for studying the evolution of breeding system …

Asexual organisms that naturally coexist with sexual relatives may hold the key to
understanding the maintenance of sex and recombination, a long‐standing problem in …

Genetic structuring of populations reflects the interaction of genetic drift, mutation, migration
and selection, with influences from life history. Aphids are interesting in this regard as they …

Insects sometimes lay eggs on host plants unsuitable for their offspring. One explanation for
this behavior has been that the association of insect and plant is new, and therefore, the …

Research on short-range dispersal (less than 10km) by supposedly weakly flying insects,
eg, whiteflies, has not enjoyed the attention paid to dispersal by strong flying insects that are …
