There is increasing interest in utilising short-term seminatural habitat restoration in agricultural systems to support populations of beneficial organisms. We assessed the impact of two types of short-term set-asides on the diversity and abundance/activity density of phytophagous and predatory arthropods. We found that flower-enhanced set-asides supported higher abundances of both phytophagous and predatory arthropods compared to control crop fields. In addition, we found that both set-aside types (flower enhanced and traditional) supported a more active and diverse community of beneficial predatory carabid beetles, with particularly strong trends in set-asides supplemented with flowering plants.

There is a growing concern about the global decline of pollinators and its impact on terrestrial and agricultural ecosystems, but the focus of scientists towards bees remains the rule. Therefore, the role of other insect taxa in pollination is still overlooked. Our review focused on some of these neglected pollinating taxa, the winged aquatic insects, i.e., insects with an aquatic larval stage such as Ephemeroptera, Trichoptera, Plecoptera (ETP), Megaloptera and some aquatic Diptera. We first documented the visitors of aquatic and wetland flowering plants, anticipating a greater presence of aquatic insects on these plants compared to terrestrial pollinators. Secondly, we documented plant visits, pollen found in gut contents and pollen transfers performed by aquatic insects. Our results revealed a surprisingly low proportion of aquatic insects visiting both aquatic and wetland plants, suggesting a potential gap in the literature. The scarcity of articles dedicated to pollen transfer by aquatic insects also indicates that they are fewly considered in ecological studies. While the role of aquatic insects in pollination is not well documented in the literature, records of their flower visits and pollen found on them or in their gut contents do exist and are promising clues to consider them as effective pollinators. Future research is needed to provide new insights into the importance of winged aquatic insects for the reproductive success of plants, which could also be an argument for the importance of wetland conservation.</p>","PeriodicalId":14987,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Entomology","volume":"149 5","pages":"711-724"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jen.13359","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143939601","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 Europe, the nematode is vectored by <i>Monochamus galloprovincialis</i> which is also a natural vector of the native, nonpathogenic <i>B. mucronatus</i>. Based on the established regulations, long-term detection surveys of pine wood and vector insects for the presence of <i>B. xylophilus</i> are obligatory in all EU member countries. The main objective of the presented research was to use the real-time PCR technique for the fast and precise detection, and identification of <i>Bursaphelenchus</i> nematodes associated with <i>M. galloprovincialis</i> ssp. <i>pistor</i> occurring in Poland. The research conducted on beetles collected in forest stands in Poland revealed exclusive presence of the native, nonpathogenic nematode <i>B. mucronatus</i>. At the beginning of the beetle flight season (June–July), the use of the real-time PCR allowed detection of <i>B. mucronatus</i>, in the case of its physical presence in the body of the dissected <i>M. galloprovincialis</i>. However, at the end of the flight season (September–October), the DNA of <i>B. mucronatus</i> was also found in some beetles with no physical presence of nematodes in tracheas or under elytra. The univoltine biology of the beetle, gradual decline in dispersal juveniles to zero in/on the beetle body, and positive results of real-time PCR reaction could indicate that in some of the beetles earlier loaded with nematodes, at the end of the season, only their remains were left after the live nematodes' departure during the vector's maturation feeding and/or egg laying. The obtained results confirm extremely high sensitivity of the real-time PCR method used in detection and identification of both nematode species which may simultaneously occur in <i>M. galloprovincialis</i> beetles.

However, the application of chemical pesticides negatively impacts its development and survival. Therefore, it is essential to assess the toxicity of commonly used insecticides against <i>T. ostriniae</i> and evaluate their compatibility. This study aims to determine the toxic effects of five common insecticides (dinotefuran, abamectin, imidacloprid, beta-cypermethrin, and chlorantraniliprole) on the development, reproduction, and enzymatic activity of <i>T. ostriniae.</i> The contact, lethal, and developmental toxicities were evaluated. Activities of detoxification enzymes, including cytochrome P450 (CYP450), carboxylesterase (CarE), and glutathione S-transferase (GST), and protective enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD) as well as malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I (MRCC I), adenosine triphosphate (ATP) of <i>T</i>. <i>ostriniae</i> were examined after being treated with the five insecticides.
