The paper traces the evolutionary history of a bacterial glycoside hydrolase subfamily in leafhoppers, showing one ancestral acquisition followed by lineage-specific duplication and functional diversification.

This paper analyzes temperature data to determine if the winter survival area of Empoasca fabae has expanded over 126 years, finding no significant trend in its expansion.

This study examines changes in leafhopper pest status in Quebec from 1868 to 2025, finding that migratory species are increasingly associated with economic importance compared to local species.

The study detects multiple Aster Yellows phytoplasma strains in potato leafhoppers but finds no evidence of vector competence.

This paper uses genome-resolved metagenomics to analyze leafhopper microbiomes, revealing conserved and flexible symbioses across diverse species and environments.

The paper proposes a new phytoplasma species, Candidatus Phytoplasma zeae, based on genomic and ecological data, distinguishing it from related species.

The paper monitors leafhopper-parasitoid dynamics in Canadian strawberry farms, finding climate-driven shifts in leafhopper abundance and parasitism rates, along with genomic insights into parasitoid diversity.

This study examines the seasonal phenology of Empoasca fabae in Quebec using degree-day models and CLIMEX ecological niche modeling, finding earlier emergence and higher generational potential in warmer regions.

This study projects how climate change may affect the distribution and richness of Nearctic leafhoppers, finding increased suitability in northern Canada and persistent presence in current habitats.
