... The Psallopinae is the smallest subfamily within Miridae, comprising two genera and 25 extant species worldwide (Schuh 2002-2013, Kim et al. 2025. This subfamily's placement and systematic status remain controversial (see Kim et al. (2025) for brief information). ...

... Zhang et al. explored the structure of the metathoracic spiracle across 14 families, proposing its potential use in taxonomic and phylogenetic studies within Lygaeoidea 17 . However, many Lygaeoidea species are small and dull-colored, leading to limited research material collections and hindering molecular phylogenetic studies 18 . Recently, with the advancement of high-throughput sequencing technology and the accumulation of data by entomologists worldwide, mitochondrial genome-based phylogenetic analyses of Lygaeoidea have been conducted [19][20][21] . ...

... In addition, the sensitivity analysis (Fig 6) showed that the relationship between climate factors and the ecology of ticks is apparent. In addition, Yoon et al. [79] analyzed the statistical analysis of the tick population and climate factors in Korea and found that the increase in monthly average temperature and relative humidity affected the increase in the tick population, which was consistent with the sensitivity analysis of our model to climate factors. Therefore, it is important to find appropriate control measures to control tick populations under climate change. ...

... In this region, we found four possible ABC transporter genes that act in phase III of metabolic detoxification. Many studies have reported the involvement of ABC transporter in chlorantraniliprole and flubendiamide detoxification in other species such as Chilo suppressalis (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) [64], P. xylostella [65], S. frugiperda [66] and Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) [67]. The Multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MDR1), also known as P-glycoprotein (P-gp), is encoded by ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1) [68,69]. ...

... The subfamily Isometopinae is an autapomorphic subfamily of the family Miridae, which differs from its other subfamilies especially by the presence of paired ocelli (ocelli absent in all other known subfamilies of the Miridae) (e.g. Herczek 1993;Cassis & Schuh 2012;Namyatova & Cassis 2016;Schuh & Weirauch 2020;Taszakowski et al. 2023). The subfamily contains 266 known recent species worldwide distributed in Afrotropical, Australasian, Indomalayan, Nearctic, Neotropical and Palearctic zoogeographical regions (Taszakowski et al. 2023). ...

... Например, клоп может повредить до 70-80 % семян Pinus monticola и 50 % семян Pseudotsuga menziesii в естественных условиях [11]. Об экономических потерях лесных ресурсов и негативных последствиях в лесных экосистемах из-за присутствия в них L. occidentalis сообщалось из Южной Америки и Северной Африки [32]. В европейских странах этот фитофаг ранее не считался опасным для лесных сообществ ввиду того, что, повреждая часть семян, клоп практически не вредит самим деревьям [7; 9]. ...

... Many of the described mirid fossils belong to the subfamilies Cylapinae and Isometopinae (Schuh & Weirauch 2020). To date, six fossil species of Deraeocorinae have been reported (Scudder 1890;Herczek & Gorczyca 1991;Kim et al. 2020;Taszakowski et al. 2023). Three species are compression fossils from the Florissant formation: Carmelus gravatus Scudder, 1890;C. ...

... To the best of our knowledge, this study marks the first successful gene editing in the superfamily Cimicoidea, including not only pirate bugs, such as O. strigicollis, but also medically important pests, such as the bedbug C. lectularius. 35 Considering the notably high gene editing efficiency observed in O. strigicollis using DIPA-CRISPR, this species holds potential as a valuable model organism for Cimicoidea-related research, especially considering its multiple advantages, i.e., a short life cycle of approximately 14 days, 36 ease of rearing, and an established mass-production system tailored for agricultural use. Moreover, our DIPA-CRISPR methodology could provide a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the physiology and behavior of O. strigicollis, with the potential for extension to the other Cimicoidea insects. ...

... The oldest known fossil of the Nabidae, Karanabis kiritshenkoi Becker-Migdisova, 1963, from the Middle Jurassic in Kazakhstan, also has considerable controversy in its infraorder and subfamily placement due to preservation issues (Schuh & Weirauch, 2020). The recently described Cretanabis kerzhneri Kim et al., 2023, from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber, is identified as a III instars nymph, with no adult specimens of the subfamily Nabinae. Fossil records of adult specimens within the Nabinae are relatively late, all from the Cenozoic era, and the morphological of the early Nabinae adult insects remains entirely unknown. ...
