A bibliometric analysis conducted on 368 documents extracted from the Scopus database reveals a historical overview spanning from 1836 to 2023, highlighting significant trends in publication rates and citation counts. Despite a consistent rise in yearly publication rates, citation frequencies have notably declined over time. The analysis further explores geographic trends, with authors from forty-nine countries contributing to the research landscape. Brazil emerges as the leading contributor, followed by the United States and China. Additionally, the study identifies 159 different journals publishing articles on the subject, with the <i>Journal of Economic Entomology</i> leading in publication frequency. The most cited article focuses on the transgenic enhancement of rice plants against lepidopteran pests. Further examination, with an emphasis on factors influencing rearing conditions and behavioural studies, categorises research topics into areas such as basic biology, biological control and ethological control. Clustering analysis reveals distinct research foci, including the study of larval physiology, host–parasite interactions and the genetic basis of biological control strategies such as <i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i> and transgenic plants. Studies focusing on the most common species of Lepidoptera, <i>Spodoptera frugiperda</i>, are also identified. Overall, this review provides a comprehensive overview of the research trends and thematic areas in the field of the rearing of Lepidoptera under laboratory conditions and can be a source of information for researchers interested in this field. This review is limited to the information deposited in Scopus, the number of research studies focused on lepidopteran rearing in laboratories and the low interaction of researchers between countries. In the present work, the lack of information related to the integration of insect-based by-products and the management of insect rearing residues was evidenced, as well as the lack of information on the economic and environmental impacts of the use of insects as a protein source to improve their role in animal and human food systems.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":14987,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Entomology","volume":"149 3","pages":"384-404"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143629757","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}

Effective control strategies are crucial to mitigate these losses. This study aimed to elucidate TPB host preferences and reproductive behaviours under various integrated pest management approaches. Experimental arenas with strawberry plants included treatments involving the predator <i>Nabis americoferus</i> (Carayon) (Hemiptera: Nabidae) and trap crops. In each arena, 30 adult TPBs were exposed to different configurations: (i) three strawberry plants, (ii) three strawberry plants with predators, (iii) one strawberry plant alongside two trap crop plants (buckwheat and canola), and (iv) one strawberry plant with the two trap crops and predators. TPB distribution among the arena, plant species and plant sites (flower, stem and adaxial and abaxial leaves) were monitored over 72 h. One week later, adults were removed and the number of emerged first instar nymphs (L1) was recorded three times postexperiment. The results indicate a preference shift in TPB behaviour influenced by plant diversity and predator presence. TPBs exhibited a reduced presence on strawberries when trap crops were introduced, with canola as a preferred plant. This preference for canola was supported by higher TPB offspring counts. Conversely, buckwheat, although less preferred, contributed to diluting TPB populations across plant species. The introduction of <i>N. americoferus</i> showed dual effects: While reducing TPB oviposition on canola, it increased TPB presence on strawberries, highlighting the importance of nonconsumptive effects (NCEs) of predators in agroecosystems. Nonetheless, the combination of canola as a trap crop and <i>N. americoferus</i> as a predator effectively reduces TPB presence on strawberry flowers, essential for fruit development. This approach shows promise when integrated with other strategies, such as vacuuming and pheromone-enhanced coloured traps.</p>","PeriodicalId":14987,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Entomology","volume":"149 3","pages":"372-383"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jen.13389","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143629903","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}

Thus, the objective of this study was to determine a seasonal dynamic model of <i>A. phytomiella</i> using ANNs. Over 3 years, the pest attack intensity and climatic elements were monitored in two cashew orchards. A total of 1716 ANN models were determined. The model predictors included the time of plant fruiting, average air temperature, dew point, atmospheric pressure and rainfall. The temperature, atmospheric pressure and time of plant fruiting had a positive effect on pest infestation, while the opposite occurred with rainfall. The pest infestation curve in relation to the dew point exhibited a point of maximum.

In each area (seven sugarcane plots), two 50 m long transects were established, parallel and spaced at 5 and 100 m from the field edge, and cohorts of the insect at each stage of development were monitored.

In both seasons and stages of development observed, there was no difference in mortality between the two types of forest fragments (Plateau and Gallery) or between the two distances from the forest.

Here, we further investigated the potential of 2pf as a management tool for SWD under more realistic field conditions. We tested the efficacy of 2pf under open field conditions in 2019 and 2020 using isolated plots of raspberries. For the two 2019 field trials, we used single raspberry fruiting inflorescences and deployed 2pf using a sachet for 48 h and 6 days, respectively, and assessed SWD infestation. We did not find any significant differences in SWD infestation in the 48 h trial but found noticeable reductions when 2pf was deployed for 6 days. In 2020, we randomly assigned treatments to an entire small, research planting of raspberries with different doses of 2pf (low, medium, and high) for both the summer and fall crops and recorded infestations. The low and medium doses of 2pf resulted in significant reductions in SWD infestation in field plantings when SWD densities were low (summer crop), but only the high dose reduced infestations when SWD pressure was high in the fall crop. Our study shows that 2pf has potential as a management tool for SWD under field conditions using a highly susceptible crop, but its effectiveness may vary depending on 2pf release rates and SWD abundance.

Using two light traps, we recorded the seasonal flight activity and abundance of <i>C. perspectalis</i> in the suburbs of Basel (Switzerland) over a 15-year period (2009–2023) shortly after the moth's introduction to Europe in 2007. In each year, we also assessed the grazing damage and number of box-tree larvae in a nearby natural box-tree forest. We recorded two peaks in the number of <i>C. perspectalis</i> caught in the settlement area (2009–2010 and 2017–2018). Cross-correlation analysis showed that waves of <i>C. perspectalis</i> moths invaded the settlement area in the year after the peak years of forest damage. Moderate numbers of <i>C. perspectalis</i> were caught each year during off-peak periods. The outbreaks of <i>C. perspectalis</i> resulted in a complete defoliation of the box trees in the forest, after which the moth population collapsed. The slowly regenerating box-tree forest was recolonised by <i>C. perspectalis</i>, most probably from the settlement area. After the second outbreak, the box-tree forest did not appear to be able to fully recover, as moderate numbers of <i>C. perspectalis</i> larvae fed on the emerging new leaves.
