The ability of <i>S. frugiperda</i> to survive and reproduce is widely recognized, but it is also important to consider the role of larval cannibalism as a significant biological trait. Understanding the cannibalistic habits of pests helps to explore the dynamics and evolution of their populations and facilitates the monitoring of insect outbreaks. Therefore, the stages, densities, and intensity of cannibalism in <i>S. frugiperda</i> larvae, as well as the consequences for their development, were investigated under laboratory conditions. <i>Spodoptera frugiperda</i> larvae showed obvious cannibalism after the third instar even in the presence of maize (<i>Zea mays</i> L., Poaceae) leaves; cannibalism was not observed in first instars. In the case of only one cannibal, the percentage of prey consumed by cannibalism decreased with higher prey density, and the predatory functional responses of fourth- to sixth-instar predators to first- to third-instar preys were fitted using the Holling II model. Compared with larvae feeding on maize only, larvae feeding on a diet of maize supplemented with third-instar conspecifics had a longer developmental duration and a higher body weight, with no significant differences in larval survival, pupation, or eclosion rates. Larvae supplied with conspecifics only, in the absence of maize leaves, generally had a lower body weight than larvae supplied with maize only, although developmental duration was still longer, and longevity and fecundity rates were lower for these larvae. Overall, consuming a small quantity of conspecifics in addition to maize leaves prolonged the developmental duration of larvae and pupae to some extent, increased the body weight, and did not impact the longevity or reproduction of <i>S. frugiperda</i>. However, cannibalism only, without access to maize leaves, had a detrimental effect on adult longevity and reproduction. These findings could serve as a valuable reference for studying the life history of insects that consume agricultural crops and may have potential applications for biological control.</p>","PeriodicalId":11741,"journal":{"name":"Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata","volume":"173 1","pages":"32-39"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142861217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show LED traps catching less <i>E. formosa</i> than standard YSTs. Moreover, LED traps also showed compatibility with other beneficial insects. The results are discussed in the context of the parasitoid's behaviour towards various green light spectra and in the context of pest and beneficial insect monitoring using different trap types.

Vibrational communication has often been overlooked in the past, but in recent decades, it has become clear that insects use substrate vibrations as a communication signal. In burying beetles of the genus <i>Nicrophorus</i>, which are known for their biparental brood care, both parents stridulate. Spending a considerable period of their lives underground, it is very likely the beetles utilize vibrations as part of their communication system. As playback experiments are challenging with this species, this study looked at the physical propagation of the signal of <i>Nicrophorus vespilloides</i> Herbst (Coleoptera: Siliphidae) through three soil types, as well as behavior, to see whether vibrational communication is possible. The aims were to determine: (1) whether the soils used in the laboratory compare to soil from the field, (2) whether the distance of propagation is enough for the range the beetles cover during brood care, (3) whether the two sexes show a difference in stridulation likelihood, (4) whether propagation of defensive signals differs from brood care signals, and (5) whether we can determine a behavior during stridulations that shows a clear and useable reaction to the signal. We manipulated beetles to induce stridulation and then used laser Doppler vibrometers to record the signals using three substrates and various distances, alongside behavioral observations. We showed that the three substrates tested, peat, coconut coir, and forest soil, displayed differences in terms of vibrational propagation, and that burying beetle stridulation signals can be transmitted up to about 25 cm in the soil. We also showed that the location where the animals stridulate exerts a significant influence on the total duration and number of stridulations. Overall, vibrational communication is in principle conceivable in this species, as the signals are transmitted far enough in the natural substrate to allow complex communication, opening possibilities for vibrational communication during this biparental brood care.</p>","PeriodicalId":11741,"journal":{"name":"Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata","volume":"172 12","pages":"1154-1165"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/eea.13519","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142642493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, chemical and biological controls are used, along with host plant resistance, but there is a clear trend toward adoption of integrated pest management strategies. Considering the potential environmental and health risks associated with using agrochemicals, our study focuses on utilizing bioactive natural products, specifically plant secondary metabolites. <i>Senecio rudbeckiaefolius</i> Meyen &amp; Walp (Asteraceae) is a perennial shrub found in southern Peru, Bolivia, and northwestern Argentina, valued for its use in traditional medicine. The main compounds of the genus <i>Senecio</i> are sesquiterpenes, with some species containing pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs), known for their harmful effects on herbivorous insects and vertebrates. Plant extracts exhibit several modes of action, encompassing confusion, feeding deterrence, growth regulation, insecticidal, and repellent effects. Our goal was to analyze the chemical composition of an ethanolic extract (EE) of <i>S. rudbeckiaefolius</i> and evaluate its lethal and sublethal effects on <i>D. saccharalis</i> larvae. We also investigated the potential target sites affected by the ingestion of an alkaloidal fraction from the EE (AFEE) through a midgut histological study. The main secondary metabolites identified were the PAs and phenolic compounds, with the highest concentrations found in the flowers and leaves. The majority of the PAs identified were senecionine and integerrimine. Toxicity bioassays were carried out with larvae fed on a diet supplemented with an EE of <i>S. rudbeckiaefolius</i>. Concentration-dependent mortality and a marked inhibition of larval growth were recorded. We described the midgut histological structure and compared it with that of AFEE-fed larvae.

We performed a growth chamber experiment to assess how long-term, drought-driven changes in belowground communities influence plant growth and herbivore performance using a plant–soil feedback experimental framework. We focussed on two common pasture legumes—lucerne, <i>Medicago sativa</i> L., and white clover, <i>Trifolium repens</i> L.

Soil was collected from a field facility where rainfall had been manipulated for 6 years, focussing on treatments representing ambient rainfall and prolonged drought (50% reduction relative to ambient), to consider the effects of biological legacies mediated by the prolonged drought. All soils were sterilized and re-inoculated to establish the respective home (i.e. where a given plant is cultivated in its own soil) and away (i.e. where a given plant is cultivated in another species' soil) treatments in addition to a sterile control. We found that the relative growth rate (RGR) and relative consumption of larvae were significantly lower on lucerne grown in soil with ambient rainfall legacies conditioned by white clover. Conversely, the RGR of insect larvae was lower on white clover grown in soil with prolonged drought legacies conditioned by lucerne. Two-spotted spider mite populations and area damage (mm²) were significantly reduced on white clover grown in lucerne-conditioned soil in drought legacies. The higher number of nodules found on white clover in lucerne-conditioned soil suggests that root–rhizobia associations may have reduced foliar herbivore performance.
