Aphids are serious pests of agricultural and ornamental plants and important model systems
for hemipteran–plant interactions. The long evolutionary history of aphids with their host …

Theory generally predicts that host specialisation and dispersal should evolve jointly.
Indeed, many models predict that specialists should be poor dispersers to avoid landing on …

We lack a thorough understanding of the origin and maintenance of standing genetic
variation that enables rapid evolutionary responses of natural populations. Whole genome …

Chromosome rearrangements are arguably the most dramatic type of mutations, often
leading to rapid evolution and speciation. However, chromosome dynamics have only been …

The pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum), a phloem-sucking insect, has undergone a rapid
radiation together with the domestication and anthropogenic range expansion of several of …

We examined the genome of the soybean aphid, Aphis glycines, and an updated genome
assembly of the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum, for members of the three major families of …

Key message A genome-wide association study for pea resistance against a pea-adapted
biotype and a non-adapted biotype of the aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum, identified a genomic …

The bitter taste, triggered via gustatory receptors, serves as an important natural defense
against the ingestion of poisonous foods in animals, and the increased host breadth is …

Effector proteins play crucial roles in determining the outcome of various plant-parasite
interactions. Aphids inject salivary effector proteins into plants to facilitate phloem feeding …

Simple Summary Individuals of a polyphagous species, such as Anastrepha obliqua, that
plague different host plants, present differences at the genome level; these differences are …
