The rise of atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub>, and subsequent ‘global greening’, is a major driver of nutrient dilution. As plant nutrient concentrations are already low compared to animal tissues, further reductions can be detrimental to herbivore fitness, resulting in increased development times, smaller intraspecific body sizes, reduced reproduction, and reduced population sizes. By altering herbivore populations and traits, nutrient dilution can ramify up trophic levels. Conservation of Earth’s biodiversity will require not just protection of habitat, but reductions in anthropogenic alterations to biogeochemical cycles, including the carbon cycle.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11038,"journal":{"name":"Current opinion in insect science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142055206","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}

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":null,"pages":null},"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}

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.

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":null,"pages":null},"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}
