Tracking the Feeding Mechanism of Sap-Sucking Insect-Pests Through Electropenetrography (EPG)
Among insect pests of field crops, sap-sucking insects are a major threat to all agricultural commodities. The sucking insect pests damage the crops...

EPG-recorded Feeding Behaviors Reveal Adaptability and Competitiveness in Two Species of Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae)
The tobacco whitefly, Bemisia tabaci , is a fast-evolving complex species consisting of more than 35 cryptic species (biotypes). Among these species,...
