The effect of feeding on B. cockerelli on the development rate and survival, of M. signatus were evaluated. Further, a greenhouse cage study was conducted to determine the optimal density of M. signatus larvae needed to effectively control an established B. cockerelli population. In our study, the third instar larvae of M. signatus consumed over 75 B. cockerelli nymphs in 24 h. Following the introduction of M. signatus larvae to caged tomato plants, eight M. signatus larvae per caged tomato plant decreased B. cockerelli population by 64% at the end of the sampling. These results indicated M. signatus, particularly at the larval stage, is an effective biological control option for B. cockerelli, especially in greenhouse tomato cultivation. This research offers valuable insights for the Australian horticultural industry, presenting a viable, eco-friendly alternative to traditional, chemical pesticide-reliant pest management strategies.","PeriodicalId":14987,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Entomology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jen.13271","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140980743","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}

This review explains the multifaceted aspects of honeydew, beginning with an overview of its production mechanisms and factors influencing its variability across insect species and plant hosts. Exploring its composition, we examine the chemical components and nutritional aspects, highlighting variations based on insect species and plant sources. The impact of honeydew on microbial communities is explored, shedding light on its role in influencing the diversity and abundance of microorganisms. Furthermore, the review investigates how honeydew affects pest behaviour and population dynamics, elucidating plant responses to honeydew deposition. In the realm of biocontrol, we examine the intricate relationships between honeydew and natural enemies, considering potential implications for integrated pest management. Beyond these individual components, the paper discusses the broader ecological consequences of honeydew in ecosystems, emphasizing the interconnected relationships between insects, plants and microorganisms. The review concludes by identifying research gaps and suggesting future directions, recognizing the need for further investigation into areas with potential applications for agriculture and ecology. This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of the current understanding of honeydew's significance in insect–plant interactions, offering insights for both researchers and practitioners in the field.","PeriodicalId":14987,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Entomology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140979155","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}

Thus, surveillance of mosquito vectors is becoming increasingly widespread as basis for risk assessment and control. Species identification by loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assays is simple, fast and reliable. Specific primers for several mosquito species are available (Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus, Aedes geniculatus, Aedes japonicus, Aedes koreicus, species of the Anopheles funestus group and An. gambiae complex). In the present work, LAMP assays targeting the rDNA internal transcribed spacer region were developed for Ae. cretinus, a minor sister taxon of Ae. albopictus, and for Culex pipiens/Culex quinquefasciatus and Culex torrentium. The specificities of the primers designed in silico were confirmed by in vitro tests with DNA form non-target species. Further, the release of DNA from mosquito stages (eggs, larvae, pupae, adults) was investigated, revealing that an incubation for 5 min at 80°C in water is suitable for LAMP. With this method, one specimen (egg, larva, pupa, adult) of a target species could be detected among 49 non-targets. Thus, the assays are suitable for fast and reliable identification of mosquito species of all life stages by colour change visible to the naked eye, and they are operable under field conditions.","PeriodicalId":14987,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Entomology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jen.13273","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141064002","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}

However, some aspects of the life cycle are not fully understood. Once mated, adult Bombus gynes can be stored for a short term at a constant low temperature (CLT). However, survival rates for some species are low during CLT, particularly when storage periods exceed a month. To address this, we tested the hypothesis that Bombus gynes stored in a fluctuating thermal regime (FTR) have increased survival compared to gynes stored in CLT. Specifically, the FTR had a baseline temperature of 2°C, with a daily fluctuation to 20°C relative to the CLT of 2°C with no warming pulse. We tested the effects of FTR on gyne survival and post-cold storage lipid content in three species used for commercial pollination in North America: B. vosnesenskii, B. huntii and B. impatiens. We further assessed how additional factors influence cold storage survival, including gyne body weight, body size and colony age. Survival responses varied among species. Bombus vosnesenskii and B. huntii had a lower survival rate in FTR compared to CLT, but B. impatiens gynes had a significantly higher survival rate in FTR. We did not observe significant effects of FTR on lipid stores for any species, but survival increased with an increasing initial weight prior to cold storage. Moreover, gynes produced later in the colony life cycle had lower body weight and decreased survival compared to early emerging gynes. Our study provides insight into how cold storage conditions interact with colony and gyne characteristics to influence captive overwintering survival. Our findings have economic applications for improving commercial rearing and efforts for conservation rearing of at-risk Bombus species.","PeriodicalId":14987,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Entomology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jen.13261","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140840993","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}

However, despite multiple recent introductions, there is scant information about the dynamics of the initial stages of colonization of the SHB and this knowledge gap could impact management and quarantine strategies decisions for many countries. This note describes the monitoring strategies and the patterns of SHB establishment in a previously SHB-free apiary on the island of Oahu, Hawaii in 2010–2011. The weekly hive inspections, conducted over a ten-month period, showed that beetle prevalence increased slowly at the apiary level, and adult beetles were more commonly found (87.9%) inside the oil traps that were placed inside the hives between the outermost frames of the hive. There were relatively few “free roaming” beetles detected at this point and they were more often found on the side frames and underneath the cover of the hive, not on the floor of the hive. The results also suggest that in the early stages of colonization careful visual inspections of the frames of each colony had relatively low detection success when compared to oil traps. Our results support previous modelling studies that suggest the need to inspect a high proportion of colonies per apiary (>80%) to ensure a 5% detection rate during the initial stages of invasion.","PeriodicalId":14987,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Entomology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140841219","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}

The present study investigated the factors affecting the infestation of teak trees by this species in three plantations in northern Thailand at different spatial scales, including the tree, plot and stand levels. At each plantation, 48 plots evenly distributed in three different young stands (1–10 years), three medium-aged stands (11–20 years) and six old stands (exceeding 20 years) were sampled. At the plots, the number of current entrance holes of X. ceramica per teak tree was counted, and the characteristics of the trees and stands were assessed. A total of 1952 teak trees were sampled, 22.7% of which were infested by X. ceramica. According to our results, infestation was much more strongly affected by stand characteristics than by the characteristics of individual trees. Above all, understorey cover exhibited substantial effect with the infestation level being strongly limited in stands with dense understories. Additionally, young and medium-aged stands on better quality sites were found to be the most susceptible to infestation, and well-growing and/or damaged trees were preferred by the pest species. In conclusion, major recommendations for suppressing damage caused by X. ceramica include (a) promoting and maintaining the understorey above 30% cover, (b) planting mixed stands of commercial forest trees and (c) intensively monitoring the pest in young and medium-aged stands, especially those growing at good- and medium-quality sites.","PeriodicalId":14987,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Entomology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140674400","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}

After detecting six isolates of Serratia and Pediococcus which were the abundant bacteria species, we tested their proteinase and chitinase activities, along with their colony diameter on milk and chitin medium, and their biological activity against S. frugiperda. Based on a correlation analysis, we found a significant relationship between virulence and colony diameter in the six isolates. And then we verified the relationship by testing the other 28 isolates from fall armyworm. Therefore, we established a method for preliminary screening of potential pathogenic bacteria based on colony diameter of the isolate on milk medium, only isolates with colony diameter higher than 2.15 cm (cultured at 28°C for 72 h) were selected for further exploitation. Using the method, three bacteria isolates including JSJN2102 (Serratia nematodiphila), JSJN2103 (Providencia rettgeri) and JSJN2209 (Bacillus thuringiensis) were successfully obtained for their potential against S. frugiperda.

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) have been utilized as biological control agents for controlling various insect pests, including the larvae of S. litura. Many indigenous EPN have been recognized to be more effective in specific field applications. Among the 160 soil samples collected in undisturbed areas of western Thailand, three samples tested positive for EPN. Three indigenous EPN were identified as Steinernema siamkayai namely, EPNKU63, EPNKU70 and EPNKU85, based on ITS and D2/D3 expansion region analysis of the 28s rRNA genes. Additionally, genetic analysis of the symbiotic bacteria using recA rRNA sequences confirmed their identity as Xenorhabdus stockiae namely, PEPNKU63, PEPNKU70 and PEPNKU85. To evaluate their initial biocontrol potential against the 6th instar larvae of Galleria mellonella, virulence assays were conducted. The application of 100 infective juveniles (IJs)/insects resulted in the mortality of 80–100% of G. mellonella larvae after 72 h. When symbiotic bacteria were applied at 1 × 106 cells/insect, they exhibited 63–93% mortality against G. mellonella larvae after 120 h. In further laboratory tests, three S. siamkayai isolates achieved 100% mortality of 3rd instar Spodoptera litura larvae within 72 h, with LC50 values ranging from 29 to 30 IJs/insect. In screenhouse experiments, it was revealed that all S. siamkayai isolates displayed substantial virulence, ranging from 62% to 74%, against 3rd instar S. litura larvae within 72 h.
