Mating behavior in bumblebees may influence microbial diversity, either through sexual transmission or immunity activation. Therefore, the study of mating-induced changes in microbiomes is crucial for understanding its biological and evolutionary significance. In this study, we examined microbiomes in a community context within both the gut and reproductive organs of bumblebees, using 16S rRNA sequences. Analysis of alpha and beta diversities revealed that the bacterial microbiome in the gut exhibits lower diversity than reproductive organs, with mating exerting a significant impact on the composition of microbiota in both gut and reproductive organs. By assessing Bray–Curtis dissimilarity at the amplicon sequence variant level, we observed a reduction in the divergence of bacterial communities between queen and drone reproductive organs following mating, a phenomenon not observed in the gut. This convergence is attributed to horizontal transmission and physiological responses post-mating. Notably, one bacterial genus in the gut and 13 genera in the seminal vesicle exhibited potential for horizontal transmission. Furthermore, the core bacterium <em>Lactobacillus</em> is suppressed in both gut and reproductive organs post-mating, while <em>Weissella</em> is increased in spermathecae. Our results reveal horizontal microbiome transfer between queen and drone bumblebees.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":15094,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-pacific Entomology","volume":"27 3","pages":"Article 102305"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141947891","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}

This study presents two case studies comparing the effectiveness and safety of Black Soldier Fly (BSF) and Yellow Mealworm (YML) larvae in bioconverting municipal food waste in Iran. In these case studies, BSF larvae achieved superior waste reduction (68.49%) and biomass conversion ratio (27.45%) compared to YML larvae (28.1% and 8.20%, respectively). Feed Conversion Efficiency was 40.1% for BSF larvae and 29.2% for YML larvae, indicating relatively similar efficiencies in converting consumed feed into biomass. YML larvae demonstrated higher crude protein content (52.63%) than BSF larvae (34.19%), while BSF larvae had significantly more crude fat (45.54%) compared to YML larvae (34.22%). The fatty acid profiles revealed that BSF larvae contained elevated levels of lauric acid (C12:0) and palmitic acid (C16:0), whereas YML larvae were richer in oleic acid (C18:1) and linoleic acid (C18:2). Mineral content analysis showed higher phosphorus levels in YML larvae and substantially more calcium in BSF larvae. Both species’ larvae and frass were found to have heavy metal levels (Arsenic, Cadmium, Cobalt, Lead, and Mercury) below the maximum permissible limits set by Iran National Standards. Microbial analysis indicated that YML larvae had higher total bacterial counts compared to BSF larvae, with a similar trend in their frass. Both larvae and frass tested negative for Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp., suggesting their microbial safety for use as feed. These case studies highlight the potential of BSF and YML larvae in sustainable food waste conversion, each with specific fatty acid and amino acid profiles, offering tailored feed sources for a variety of animal species.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":15094,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-pacific Entomology","volume":"27 3","pages":"Article 102306"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141882836","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}

We gathered life-history data of <em>P. nuda</em> under four different temperatures (20 °C, 24 °C, 28 °C, and 32 °C) to analyze through the age-stage, two-sex life table methodology. Subsequently, projected population dynamics were made using these data. Results show that a generation can be completed at experimental temperature; the longest mean longevity (72.012 d) was recorded at 20 °C, while the shortest one was 29.126 d at 32 °C. The highest fecundity (219.5 eggs per female), preadult survival rate (90.6 %), and proportion of females (0.494) were observed at 24 ℃. At 20 °C, the intrinsic rate of increase (<em>r</em>) and the finite rate of increase (<em>λ</em>) were found to be much lower than at other temperatures, with 0.0575 and 1.0591 1/d, respectively. Compared to other temperatures, the net reproductive rate (R₀) at 24 ℃ (108.59) was notably higher than other temperatures.
