Black soldier fly (BSF, Hermetia illucens L.) larvae show promising potential for transforming organic waste. Moreover, they can breed and grow in organic waste. In addition, using bulking agents in organic waste is effective in optimizing composting process like volume density. In this study, we focused on the decomposition and characteristics of a pig manure–sawdust mixture post-treatment at different growth stages of BSF larvae. For the experiments, 4 kg of pig manure was mixed with 1 kg of sawdust and then treated with 0.5 kg of either second instars (Group 1) or third instars (Group 2) of BSF larvae. The two experimental groups were randomly assigned three replicates per group. For Experiment 1, the results showed that the decomposition efficacy of the second-instar BSF larvae was better than that of the third-instar BSF larvae. In Experiment 2, the two BSF larval groups did not improve the characteristics, including pH, moisture, ADF, NDF, and hemicelluloses of the pig manure–sawdust mixture. These findings provide a scientific basis for improving the decomposition efficacy of second-instar BSF larvae reared on a pig manure–sawdust mixture.

This review provides a synthesis of bed bug insecticide resistance research from 2018 to the present, highlighting insecticide resistance profiles, resistance mechanisms, and management strategies. Resistance to pyrethroids, neonicotinoids, organophosphates, carbamates, and other insecticides is widespread, with documented cases of metabolic resistance (cytochrome P450s, esterases, glutathione S-transferase and ABC transporters), target site insensitivity (point mutations in voltage-gated sodium channel genes [kdr], paralogous acetylcholinesterase gene (p-Ace), and GABA receptor gene [rdl]), penetration resistance (cuticular thickening), and symbiont-mediated resistance. This paper also reviews the effective management options against insecticide-resistant bed bugs, including insecticide mixtures and synergists, entomopathogenic fungi (Beauveria bassiana), and physical methods such as heat treatment, desiccant dust, and fumigation. Additionally, novel approaches, such as RNA interference and bed bug baits, provide new directions but require further research.

In this study, the pH of cultured insect cells (6.2) was adjusted to a neutral pH, and the effect on VLP production was evaluated. A neutral pH-adapted High Five insect cell line was established and named HF7. Compared with parent High Five cells, HF7 cells were approximately 2 μm larger and showed approximately sixfold greater viral replication. The production of nonenveloped VLPs in HF7 cells was evaluated using enterovirus 71 (EV-71), porcine parvovirus (PPV), porcine circovirus Type 2 (PCV2), and canine parvovirus (CPV) VLPs. As a result, increased production of all VLPs and VLP formation were confirmed. However, the increased production of VLPs is thought to be due to increased cell metabolism and virus replication rather than the formation or stability of VLPs.

It considers the Melophorus castaneus Heterick, Castalanelli & Shattuck species group, as considered here consisting of four described species: M. castaneus, M. clypeatus Heterick, Castalanelli & Shattuck, M. kuklos Heterick, Castalanelli & Shattuck, and M. teretinotus Heterick, Castalanelli & Shattuck. Based on an integration of morphological, genetic (CO1), and distributional information, we recognize 24 species among 79 sequenced specimens from the group in monsoonal Australia, only one of which (M. teretinotus) is described. Our species delimitations are strongly supported by species inference from the Poisson tree processes model. We provide images of all our recognized species, along with images of four additional monsoonal species from the group that were not sequenced. Of the 28 monsoonal species in total that we document, 20 occur in the Top End of the Northern Territory, and none of these are known from elsewhere. Most locations within the Top End remain unsampled, and so many more species can therefore be expected to occur in it, and much more so elsewhere in monsoonal Australia. The total number of monsoonal species within the M. castaneus group is therefore very likely well over 50, only one of which is described. Our findings provide further evidence that the ant fauna of monsoonal Australia numbers several thousand species, a number far higher than estimated for any other of the world's regional ant faunas.","PeriodicalId":11776,"journal":{"name":"Entomological Research","volume":"55 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1748-5967.70037","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143707212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Phenomics, however, presents a promising, targeted approach by focusing on individual phenotypic traits. This study employs time-lapse imaging to monitor dynamic phenotypic changes in rice plants infested with the brown planthopper (BPH) (Nilaparvata lugens). Utilizing the Phlizon 6000 W LED Grow Light, which provides far-red wavelengths, and image acquisition with 12 Raspberry Pi 4 Model B units and Raspberry Pi NoIR cameras fitted with blue filters for enhanced NDVI calculations, we captured detailed imagery of plant responses. Our study revealed that NDVI values in the stem region of control plants remained stable, while leaf region values showed an increase. For infested plants, NDVI fluctuations were observed at the lamina joint in the stem region, whereas leaf region values remained consistent. Importantly, damage progression was slower at the lamina joint in resistant rice varieties compared to susceptible ones, underscoring lamina joint discoloration as a valuable parameter for evaluating BPH resistance.

The integration of artificial intelligence and drone-based imaging has the potential to revolutionize ecological monitoring by providing scalable, efficient, and noninvasive methods for detecting wasp hives. However, research on AI-assisted hive detection remains limited, with most studies focusing on large-scale wildlife monitoring rather than small-object localization.

In the proposed system, a small drone is equipped with a camera and takes aerial images of the error range.

Moderate temperature fluctuations (10 ± 5°C, 15 ± 5°C, 20 ± 5°C, and 25 ± 5°C) significantly enhanced developmental rates and reproductive success compared to constant conditions, demonstrating increased metabolic efficiency and adaptability under variable thermal environments. In contrast, extreme fluctuations (30 ± 5°C) imposed physiological stress, leading to delayed development, reduced survival, and decreased reproductive output, indicating limited tolerance of M. persicae to high thermal variability. A temperature-dependent model revealed an optimal range around 25°C for developmental efficiency and reproductive performance. Fertility peaked at 20 ± 5°C but was markedly suppressed at 30 ± 5°C, underscoring the detrimental effects of extreme thermal fluctuations on population growth. These findings suggest that moderate thermal variability may promote population expansion of M. persicae under favorable conditions, whereas extreme fluctuations could act as natural constraints, limiting its dynamics in warmer climates. This study provides critical insights into the adaptability of M. persicae to thermal variability, offering a framework for predicting its responses to climate change.
