Low Host Specificity in Species-Rich Assemblages of Xylem- and Phloem
Journal of Tropical Ecology (2013) 29:467–476. © Cambridge University Press 2013 doi:10.1017/S0266467413000540 Low host specificity in species-rich assemblages of xylem- and phloem-feeding herbivores (Auchenorrhyncha) in a New Guinea lowland rain forest Francesca F.

Further, we reared 106 species from larvae sampled on 14 plant species. Both xylem- and phloem-feeding guilds exhibited wide host-plant ranges, as 74% of species fed on more than one plant family. In comparison, using data extracted from the temperate- zone literature, phloem-feeders exhibited lower host specificity in Papua New Guinea than in Germany, because in Papua New Guinea they were dominated by generalist Fulgoroidea while in Germany by specialist Membracoidea. The similarity of Auchenorrhyncha assemblages from different plant species was unrelated to the phylogenetic distance between their hosts. -

Characterization of the Complete Mitochondrial Genome Of
insects Article Characterization of the Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Drabescus ineffectus and Roxasellana stellata (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae: Drabescini) and Their Phylogenetic Implications Deliang Xu , Tinghao Yu and Yalin Zhang * Key Laboratory of Plant Protection Resources and Pest Management, Ministry of Education, Entomological Museum, College of Plant Protection, Northwest A&F University, Yangling, Shaanxi 712100, China; [email protected] (D.X.); [email protected] (T.Y.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-029-87092190 Received: 12 July 2020; Accepted: 11 August 2020; Published: 14 August 2020 Simple Summary: Drabescini comprises over 225 species and 46 genera with a highly diverse tribe of Deltocephalinae. These species serve as vectors of numerous agricultural plant pathogens and also transmit plant viruses to host plants. Previous phylogenetic analyses in this tribe mainly focused on morphological characters and were restricted to several gene fragments. Furthermore, the taxonomic status and phylogenetic relationships of this tribe need to be further studied. Therefore, the mitogenome may provide additional molecular evidence to reconstruct the phylogeny of this group and further elucidate relationships among major lineages. In this study, we sequenced and analyzed two newly complete mitogenomes including Drabescus ineffectus and Roxasellana stellata. These two mitogenomes contain 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and the non-coding structure called A + T-control region. The Drabescini mitogenomes are highly conserved in base content and composition, genome size and order, protein-coding genes and codon usage, and secondary structure of tRNAs. Phylogenetic analyses using Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood methods indicated strong support for the monophyly of Drabescini. -
