The production of sexuals is the most important group decision that social insects face since it affects both direct and indirect fitness. The behavioral processes by which queens are selected have been of particular interest since they are the primary egg layers that enable colony function. As a model system, previous research on honey bee reproduction has focused on swarming behavior and nest site selection. One significant gap in our knowledge of the collective decision-making process over reproduction is how daughter queens simply replace old or failing queens (=supersedure) rather than being reared for the purposes of colony fission (=swarming) or queen loss (=emergency queen rearing). Here, I present a conceptual model that provides a framework for understanding the collective decisions by colonies to supersede their mother queens, as well as provide some key recommendations on future empirical work.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11038,"journal":{"name":"Current opinion in insect science","volume":"66 ","pages":"Article 101260"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214574524001020/pdfft?md5=5435dd5aaeec7a1569e1516f727d3a34&pid=1-s2.0-S2214574524001020-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142145366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since their discovery during the late 20th century, our understanding of these small, noncoding RNAs has grown rapidly. However, there are still many unknowns about the functional significance of miRNAs — especially in non-model insects. Here I discuss the accumulating evidence that microRNAs are part of gene regulatory networks that determine not only the developmental outcome but also mediate transitions between stages and alternative developmental pathways. During the last 20 years, researchers have published a multitude of profiling studies that describe changes in miRNAs that may be important for development and catalog potential targets. Proof-of-principle studies document phenotypic changes that occur when candidate genes and/or miRNAs are inhibited or overexpressed. Studies that use both of these approaches, along with methods for confirming miRNA–mRNA interaction, demonstrate the necessary roles for miRNAs within gene networks. Together, all of these types of studies provide essential clues for understanding the function of miRNAs in the developmental toolbox.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11038,"journal":{"name":"Current opinion in insect science","volume":"66 ","pages":"Article 101256"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142105134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The construction and analysis of trophic webs summarize interactions across trophic levels and link community structure to properties such as ecosystem services. We focus on agroecological communities, which may be simpler than natural communities but nonetheless present considerable challenges to describe and understand. We review the characteristics and study of communities comprised of plants, phytophagous insects, and insect parasitoids with particular regard to the maintenance of sustainable agroecological communities and ecosystem services, especially biological pest control. We are constrained to largely overlook other members of these communities, such as hyperparasitoids, predators, parasites, and microbes. We draw chiefly on recent literature while acknowledging the importance of many advances made during the immediately preceding decades. Trophic web construction and analysis can greatly improve the understanding of the role and impact of herbivores and natural enemies in agroecological communities and the various species interactions, such as apparent competition, which assists biocontrol strategies. The study of trophic webs also helps in predicting community ecology consequences of externally driven changes to agroecosystems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11038,"journal":{"name":"Current opinion in insect science","volume":"65 ","pages":"Article 101253"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214574524000956/pdfft?md5=26d830f8682ab08767de980f79549de7&pid=1-s2.0-S2214574524000956-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141995516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of fipronil is controversial because unintentional exposure to this compound may contribute to the ongoing global decline of insect pollinator populations. Although the sublethal effects of fipronil have been linked to aberrant behavior and impaired olfactory learning in insects, the precise mechanisms involved in these responses remain unclear. In this article, we highlight recent studies that have investigated the interaction among different pathways involved in the ability of fipronil to modulate insect behavior, with particular emphasis on the role of GABAergic neurotransmission in fine-tuning the integration of sensorial responses and insect behavior. Recent findings suggest that fipronil can also cause functional alterations that affect synaptic organization and the availability of metal ions in the brain.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11038,"journal":{"name":"Current opinion in insect science","volume":"65 ","pages":"Article 101251"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141987560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
