Abstract

Non-consumptive effects of predators, such as olfactory cues, may profoundly influence prey life-history strategies, shaping ecological interactions beyond direct predation. This study examined how olfactory cues from different instar stages of the predatory midge Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Rondani) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) affected the development, survival, and reproduction of the green peach aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Hemiptera: Aphididae). The results revealed that exposure to predator cues prolonged developmental time in later 3rd- and 4th-instars. However, 1st-instar nymphs reduced survival to adulthood, whereas older nymphs prioritized survival but had lower reproductive success, shorter pre-oviposition and oviposition periods, lower fecundity, and reduced longevity, suggesting a trade-off between immediate survival and future reproductive fitness. The 3rd-instar A. aphidimyza larvae induced stronger negative effects than 1st-instar larvae on reproductive performance of adult aphids, particularly when immature aphids were exposed to predatory cues at the 4th-instar. These results were likely due to intensified cue emission by larger and older A. aphidimyza larvae and the reproductive vulnerability of 4th-instar nymphs in response to predatory cues. Our findings demonstrate the potential of predator olfactory cues to regulate prey populations by inducing stress-related changes in survival, development, and reproduction, highlighting their ecological significance and applicability in sustainable pest management strategies.

来自蚜虫的嗅觉线索介导了对桃蚜生活史性状的非消耗效应

捕食者的非消耗效应，如嗅觉线索，可能会深刻地影响猎物的生活史策略，形成超越直接捕食的生态相互作用。本文研究了捕食蠓（双翅目：蚜虫科）不同龄期嗅觉信号对绿桃蚜（半翅目：蚜虫科）发育、生存和繁殖的影响。结果表明，暴露于捕食者线索会延长3、4龄后期的发育时间。然而，1龄若虫降低了成虫的存活率，而年长若虫优先生存，但繁殖成功率较低，产卵前和产卵期较短，繁殖力较低，寿命较短，这表明当前生存和未来生殖适应性之间存在权衡。3龄蚜虫幼虫对成虫繁殖性能的负面影响强于1龄幼虫，特别是当未成熟蚜虫在4龄时暴露于捕食线索时。这些结果可能是由于较大和较老的蚜虫幼虫发出的信号增强，以及4龄若虫对掠食性信号的生殖脆弱性。研究结果表明，捕食者嗅觉线索通过诱导应激相关的生存、发育和繁殖变化来调节猎物种群的潜力，突出了其生态意义和在可持续害虫管理策略中的适用性。

期刊介绍： The Editors of Crop Protection especially welcome papers describing an interdisciplinary approach showing how different control strategies can be integrated into practical pest management programs, covering high and low input agricultural systems worldwide. Crop Protection particularly emphasizes the practical aspects of control in the field and for protected crops, and includes work which may lead in the near future to more effective control. The journal does not duplicate the many existing excellent biological science journals, which deal mainly with the more fundamental aspects of plant pathology, applied zoology and weed science. Crop Protection covers all practical aspects of pest, disease and weed control, including the following topics: -Abiotic damage- Agronomic control methods- Assessment of pest and disease damage- Molecular methods for the detection and assessment of pests and diseases- Biological control- Biorational pesticides- Control of animal pests of world crops- Control of diseases of crop plants caused by microorganisms- Control of weeds and integrated management- Economic considerations- Effects of plant growth regulators- Environmental benefits of reduced pesticide use- Environmental effects of pesticides- Epidemiology of pests and diseases in relation to control- GM Crops, and genetic engineering applications- Importance and control of postharvest crop losses- Integrated control- Interrelationships and compatibility among different control strategies- Invasive species as they relate to implications for crop protection- Pesticide application methods- Pest management- Phytobiomes for pest and disease control- Resistance management- Sampling and monitoring schemes for diseases, nematodes, pests and weeds.
