In recent years, this species has extended its range into new regions previously considered unsuitable, posing an alarming new risk for the subtropical regions of Europe. This review aimed to assess the potential risk of <i>B. dorsalis</i> invasion into the fruit industry in the Iberian Peninsula, the southwesternmost tip of Europe. With the collected information from published scientific knowledge on <i>B. dorsalis</i>'s distribution, biology, climatic tolerance, host plant diversity, and recent invasion pathways, we have provided an assessment of the possibilities of introducing this alarming fruit fly species to the Iberian Peninsula. In this review, we found that <i>B. dorsalis</i> has been recently reported in several adjacent European countries such as France, Italy, and Austria, and it serves as a warning signal to the Iberian Peninsula for the possible risks that this species poses in the future. Considering this persistent threat posed by <i>B. dorsalis</i>, we reviewed its potential future threat by considering the status of the fruit industry and Mediterranean climate in the Iberian Peninsula. We also considered the findings of recent climatic forecasting models. This review provides a theoretical basis for the prospective intrusion of <i>B. dorsalis</i> into the Iberian Peninsula's fruit industry, as well as the potential impact following its establishment, together with recommendations for restricting the introduction and spread.</p>","PeriodicalId":13642,"journal":{"name":"Insects","volume":"16 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12470648/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145175074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An eight-week feeding trial was conducted using various artificial diets (eight diets, including a control diet), formulated with varying quantities of pulses, yeast, fenugreek powder, vegetable oil, dry apricot powder, and powdered sugar. Colony performance of bees subjected to different artificial diets was evaluated based on diet consumption, brood area, adult bee population, worker bee longevity, honey production, and enzymatic activity. Diet-7, which uniquely combined lupin, mung bean, and chickpea flours, proved the most efficacious and was the most consumed diet (84.29 ± 1.61 g), while diet-1 showed the lowest consumption (35.30 ± 1.08 g). Maximum brood area was recorded in colonies which were offered diet-7 (1385.95 ± 14.91 cm<sup>2</sup>), followed by diet-6, whereas the lowest was observed in the control (831.03 ± 18.95 cm<sup>2</sup>).

Firstly, by employing the YOLOv9 lightweight backbone network to compress the computational base load, we introduce the RepNCSPELAN4-CAA module, which integrates re-parameterization techniques and one-dimensional strip convolution. This enhances the model's ability for cross-regional modeling of slender insect morphologies. Secondly, a feature aggregation diffusion network is designed, incorporating a dimension-aware selective integration mechanism. This dynamically fuses shallow detail features with deep semantic features, effectively mitigating information loss for small objects occluded by foliage. Finally, a re-parameterized batch normalization technique is introduced to reconstruct the AIFI module. Combined with a progressive training strategy, this eliminates redundant parameters, thereby enhancing inference efficiency on edge devices. Experimental validation demonstrates that compared to the baseline RT-DETR model, LightFAD-DETR achieves a 1.4% improvement in mAP0.5:0.95, while reducing parameters by 41.7% and computational load by 35.0%.

The legs of insects play a significant role in gustatory perception and proximity olfactory perception. In this study, the leg sensilla of <i>A. c. cerana</i> were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Two types of sensilla were observed, including sensilla trichodea (Str I, Str II, Str III, Str IV, Str V, and Str VI) and sensilla chaetica (Sch I, Sch II, and Sch III). The two unique structures of the tibial spur (Tsp I, Tsp II) and antennal brush (Abr) are carefully observed. The electrophysiological responses of workers at different ages to diverse chemical compounds were measured via electrolegogram (ELG) recordings on their legs. The results showed that 1-day-old <i>A. c. cerana</i> was more sensitive to nonanal; 10-day-old and 25-day-old <i>A. c. cerana</i> were more sensitive to ocimene. The results of behavioral responses showed that nonanal and ocimene can significantly attract 10-day-old workers of <i>A. c. cerana</i>. This study establishes a foundation for further exploration of the mechanisms by which the legs of <i>A. c. cerana</i> facilitate colony-level communication through chemical signals.
