Lygaeidae（广义）是一个非常成功的家庭真正的错误发现世界各地，但他们的生态和进化的许多方面仍然模糊或未知。虽然一些物种作为昆虫生理学研究的模式物种引起了相当大的关注，但直到最近，生物学家才开始探索它们的行为，生活史进化以及更多物种的种内和种间生态相互作用模式。因此，虽然，一系列新的表型和机会，解决当前的问题，在进化生态学已经被发现。例如，研究人员已经揭示了迄今为止意想不到的丰富的细菌共生模式，开始探索家庭复杂生殖器的进化功能，并发现了单性生殖的证据。在这里，我们回顾了我们目前对整个群体的生物学和生态学的理解，重点是群体的几个最好的研究特征，包括警戒主义（即，警告色的进化），化学通讯，性选择（特别是交配后的性选择），性冲突，以及宿主-内共生体共同进化的模式。重要的是，这些方面的lygaeid生物学很可能相互作用，提供新的研究途径，例如进入如何aposematism的进化影响性选择。随着越来越多的基因组工具，以前的“非模型”的生物，结合相对容易保持许多多食性物种在实验室中，我们认为，这些错误提供了许多机会，行为和进化生态学家。
The Lygaeidae (sensu lato) are a highly successful family of true bugs found worldwide, yet many aspects of their ecology and evolution remain obscure or unknown. While a few species have attracted considerable attention as model species for the study of insect physiology, it is only relatively recently that biologists have begun to explore aspects of their behavior, life history evolution, and patterns of intra- and interspecific ecological interactions across more species. As a result though, a range of new phenotypes and opportunities for addressing current questions in evolutionary ecology has been uncovered. For example, researchers have revealed hitherto unexpectedly rich patterns of bacterial symbiosis, begun to explore the evolutionary function of the family's complex genitalia, and also found evidence of parthenogenesis. Here we review our current understanding of the biology and ecology of the group as a whole, focusing on several of the best-studied characteristics of the group, including aposematism (i.e., the evolution of warning coloration), chemical communication, sexual selection (especially, postcopulatory sexual selection), sexual conflict, and patterns of host-endosymbiont coevolution. Importantly, many of these aspects of lygaeid biology are likely to interact, offering new avenues for research, for instance into how the evolution of aposematism influences sexual selection. With the growing availability of genomic tools for previously “non-model” organisms, combined with the relative ease of keeping many of the polyphagous species in the laboratory, we argue that these bugs offer many opportunities for behavioral and evolutionary ecologists.
