Most ecribellate orb-weavers (Araneoidea) build vertically-orientated webs (0°; ie the plane of the web is orthogonal to the ground). However, Leucauge venusta (Tetragnathidae; Walckenaer, 1842) often build horizontally-orientated webs (90°; ie parallel to the ground), despite evidence that prey capture and retention rates are higher in vertical webs. Falling debris is a common hazard for webs in the forest understory, and basic geometry predicts that vertical webs sustain more damage when struck by a falling object. Here, we quantified the angle of web inclination in L. venusta and its effect on the amount of damage sustained from falling debris. We experimentally damaged L. venusta webs in the laboratory and measured natural damage to webs in the field. As predicted, webs inclined 30° or 45° relative to vertical in the laboratory sustained more damage than horizontal (90°) webs; by contrast, the proportional damage observed in the field was not related to web inclination (which ranged 21° to 90°). Thus, under controlled laboratory conditions, the horizontal orientation of L. venusta webs minimizes damage from debris fall. However, falling objects are just one of many potential sources of web damage in nature, and the relevance of web size and location to the frequency and magnitude of damage remains unclear. The results improve our understanding of the role of web orientation in the balance between prey capture and local environmental challenges.","PeriodicalId":11751,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Entomology","volume":"55 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147572517","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}

As the keystone species in native Hawaiian wet forests, the decimation of 'ōhi'a threatens the stability of Hawaiian forest communities. Invasive ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) are the primary agents producing ROD inoculum and can directly transmit the pathogens as well. The most common management recommendation for ROD-infected trees is to fell and tarp. However, this is often logistically impractical and does not proactively suppress inoculum production. Alternatively, the semiochemical verbenone has proven effective in repelling ROD-associated beetles from standing 'ōhi'a and may have application in post-felling management. Across two 10-wk field and lab trials, we evaluated two semiochemical formulations, SPLAT Verb (10% verbenone) and SPLAT Beetle Guard (10% verbenone + 10% methyl salicylate), in reducing ambrosia beetle attack, emergence, and frass production when applied to felled ROD-Ceratocystis--infected 'ōhi'a. Verbenone alone significantly reduced beetle attacks and frass production, while verbenone + methyl salicylate also reduced attacks, outperforming verbenone alone by 37% in one trial, and reduced frass production and emergence. Beetle attacks subsided to near zero by week 10, presumably due to bolt desiccation, suggesting a single application may provide sufficient protection for the extent of a felled tree's host-suitability period. Semiochemical repellents may play a pivotal role in the multifaceted management approach needed to control ROD, and these findings validate and expand the emerging body of evidence establishing their efficacy in repelling beetles within the ROD pathosystem.","PeriodicalId":11751,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Entomology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145774000","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}

We hypothesized that D. antiqua and D. platura would be the predominant Delia spp. in the Great Lakes and Pacific Northwest, respectively, and that D. platura would infest onions before D. antiqua where they co-occur. Results indicated that D. antiqua was most common in the Great Lakes (87% of Delia spp.) and in eastern Oregon/western Idaho (USA) (79% of Delia spp.), but sample sizes were too small to make inferences about northern California and eastern Washington. Delia florilega was not detected in our study. Delia platura was most prevalent infesting onions early in spring, whereas D. antiqua was dominant in late spring and early summer.

In all trapping sites in Texas and Florida, S. exempta lures attracted S. latifascia and S. albula moths, sometimes at densities of over 80 moths per night. These lures, along with those designed for S. latifascia and S. albula, provided seasonal information for other Spodoptera species that are not routinely monitored. Lures for the South American species S. cosmioides consistently attracted the native non-pest Spodoptera dolichos (F.). Lures formulated for Spodoptera littoralis (Boisduval) from the Old World and S. litura from Asia also attracted native species. Trapping in a strawberry production area highlighted the possibility that S. latifascia and S. albula are potential pest species.

In eastern North American woodlands, invasive exotic shrubs are displacing native plants and transforming understory communities. The displacement of native plants by invasive non-natives may reduce the resources available to higher trophic levels by supporting diminished arthropod communities. Despite a conceptual understanding of the potential for invasive shrubs to transform forest communities, little research has focused on characterizing the arthropod communities they support or their impact on higher trophic levels in eastern North American forests. To address this gap, we compared arthropod diversity, abundance, and community composition on a highly invasive shrub in southwestern Ohio, Amur honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii, Maxim., Dipscales: Caprifoliaceae), to a related, ecologically similar, native shrub, blackhaw (Viburnum prunifolium, Linnaeus, Dipscales: Adoxaceae), over a growing season. Relative to the native shrub, we found that L. maackii hosted a depauperate arthropod community overall, with about 25% fewer individuals and 28% fewer species than its native counterpart, V. prunifolium-primarily driven by a smaller herbivore community on L. maackii. In contrast, the abundance and richness of predatory arthropods were similar between the native and invasive shrubs. The arthropod communities on the native and exotic plants broadly overlapped in ordination space; however, community composition varied significantly, albeit modestly. These findings support the prediction that invasive plants support depauperate arthropod communities and provide reduced ecosystem services.","PeriodicalId":11751,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Entomology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145877856","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}

To facilitate the development of spatiotemporally targeted management approaches and improve the deployment and design of monitoring traps, we studied PC's vertical distribution within peach orchards and whether their dispersal patterns resulted in an orchard edge effect. Non-baited Whalon-modified Tedder's traps (black pyramid traps; ∼120 cm in height) deployed at 3 heights-0 (low), 120 (medium), and 240 (high) cm above the ground-revealed that PC were captured at all heights but predominantly in the low traps. Additionally, correlations among PC captures at different heights were often nonsignificant. Although we documented the presence of PC's edge effects in Georgia peaches for the first time, the occurrence of these effects was inconsistent across 2 yr, failing to regularly appear early in the season when PC entered the orchard from overwintering sites and late in the season when they departed to seek overwintering sites. Overall, our findings suggest that relying solely on ground-deployed pyramid traps for PC monitoring may not accurately reflect overall PC abundance in the field. Unlike in Northeastern apples, where PC consistently exhibits an edge effect, targeted management programs that focus insecticide applications on PC in perimeter tree rows rather than the entire orchard are not currently recommended for Southeastern peach production systems.","PeriodicalId":11751,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Entomology","volume":"55 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13089454/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147716125","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}

In this study, we revealed the roles of NlCCT and NlECT in the growth and lipid metabolism of Nilaparvata lugens. Despite conserved domains, RNAi knockdown of NlCCT or NlECT caused distinct phenotypes: both reduced survival, while dsNlECT also led to molting failure, increased body weight, and elevated TG levels. Lipidomics of dsNlECT-treated insects identified 86 significantly altered metabolites across nine lipid classes, mainly enriched in glycerophospholipid metabolism and TG biosynthesis pathways. RT-qPCR further validated 15 key metabolic enzyme genes correlated with these lipid changes. Notably, NlCCT expression was suppressed after NlECT knockdown, indicating close functional crosstalk. These results suggest that CCT and ECT coordinately regulate lipid homeostasis via a complex metabolic network in N. lugens. These findings highlight the critical roles of NlCCT and NlECT in regulating lipid metabolism in N. lugens, providing novel insights into the lipid metabolic network in insects and offering a theoretical foundation for the development of environmentally friendly pest control strategies targeting lipid metabolic pathways.","PeriodicalId":11751,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Entomology","volume":"55 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147498034","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}
