Trap-based surveillance strategies are widely used for monitoring of invasive insect species,
aiming to detect newly arrived exotic taxa as well as track the population levels of …

Strepsiptera are obligate endoparasitoids that exhibit extreme sexual dimorphism and
parasitize seven orders and 33 families of Insecta. The adult males and the first instar larvae …

Here we report the genome sequence of the honeybee Apis mellifera, a key model for social
behaviour and essential to global ecology through pollination. Compared with other …

It is thought that speciation in phytophagous insects is often due to colonization of novel host
plants, because radiations of plant and insect lineages are typically asynchronous. Recent …

Here we report the genome sequence of the honeybee Apis mellifera, a key model for social
behaviour and essential to global ecology through pollination. Compared with other …

Over the past decade the mitochondrial (mt) genome has become the most widely used
genomic resource available for systematic entomology. While the availability of other types …

Diatoms are present in all types of water bodies and their species diversity is influenced
greatly by environmental conditions. This means that diatom occurrence and abundances …

The internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) of the nuclear ribosomal repeat unit is one of the
most commonly applied phylogenetic markers. It is a fast evolving locus, which makes it …

Reliable estimates on the ages of the major bee clades are needed to further understand the
evolutionary history of bees and their close association with flowering plants. Divergence …

Over 22,000 species of biotically pollinated flowering plants, including some major
agricultural crops, depend primarily on bees capable of floral sonication for pollination …
