Transcriptomic studies lend insights into the role of transcriptional plasticity in adaptation
and specialization. Recently, there has been growing interest in understanding the …

We present the first chromosome-level genome assembly of the grasshopper, Locusta
migratoria, one of the largest insect genomes. We use coverage differences between …

Background Insect body coloration often functions as camouflage to survive from predators
or mate selection. Transportation of pigment precursors or related metabolites from …

Diets essentially affect the ecological distribution of insects, and may contribute to or even
accelerate pest plague outbreaks. The grasshopper, Oedaleus asiaticus B-Bienko (OA), is a …

For instance, Pseudomonas is involved in numerous life processes of A. gossypii and exerts
a significant influence on its physiological indicators. The results demonstrate that …

BACKGROUND Insect endosymbionts are widespread in nature and known to play key
roles in regulating host biology. As a secondary endosymbiont, bacteria in the genus …

Abstract Background The grasshopper Oedaleus asiaticus Bey-Bienko (Acrididae:
Oedipodinae) is a dominant and economically important pest that is widely distributed …

Abstract Water hyacinth, Pontederia crassipes (Commelinales: Pontederiaceae), remains
one of the worlds' worst invasive aquatic plants, causing high environmental damage and …

Abstract The leafhopper, Erythroneura sudra (Distant) is becoming a dominant insect pest,
and usually can cause significant damage to fruit production in northern China. We studied …

Except for Antarctica and Eurasia, north of the 55 north latitude, grasshoppers are widely
distributed in almost all places where plants exist (Guang et al. 2002), indicating that …
