However, the scale of surveillance efforts can be prohibitive on manpower, given the large number of traps set, collected, processed, and enumerated. For many public health agencies, the sheer effort of weekly trapping, combined with the processing of numerous traps, is a major capacity challenge. To reduce employee fatigue and increase throughput, estimation methods are used in a diagnostic capacity to determine threshold numbers of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) for operational decision-making. Historically, volume and mass measures correlated to a known number of mosquitoes are the oldest and most widely used within mosquito control programs. Image processing methods using digital counting software, such as ImageJ, have not been tested rigorously in the context of high throughput usage experienced in mosquito operations. We stress-tested volume, mass, and image processing methods using sample calibrations from early in the year and applied them throughout a mosquito active season. We additionally tested resilience with samples that had been frozen, desiccated, old, or from an excessively large trap collection. Furthermore, we compared magnitudes of error after intentionally deviating from best practices. In all cases, mass and volume encountered significant errors. In contrast, the digitized-optical counting method was resilient to going long periods of use without recalibrating, handling different species compositions, and processing aged or damaged samples. If a program has limited logistical power, the aforementioned image-processing method confers the best balance of accuracy and expediency for time-sensitive workloads and efficient operational decision making.","PeriodicalId":16156,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Insect Science","volume":"25 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11908421/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143630613","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}

Smith)), feed on all above-ground portions of maize plants, primarily the whorl tissues. One of our research unit missions is to identify and develop maize germplasm with resistance to fall armyworm. One method to measure resistance in maize to fall armyworm is visual rating of leaf-feeding damage after infestation with neonates into the whorl. The objective of this study was to compare leaf-feeding damage ratings after infestation with different rates of fall armyworm neonates. The ultimate goal was to select the smallest infestation rate which could give the same damage effect on maize leaves as the larger infestation rates. Four susceptible and 7 resistant maize germplasm lines were planted in replicated experiments with a split plot arrangement in the field in the summer of 2023 and 2024. Plants were infested with fall armyworm at 10-, 20-, 30-, 40-, and 50-neonate infestation rates (treatment). Leaf-feeding damage was scored 14 d after infestation. In general, 10-neonates infestation rate exhibited less damage in comparison to the higher infestation rates indicating much less pressure from fall armyworm to exhibit resistance in maize regardless of the lines. Overall results showed that 20-, 30-, and 40-neonate infestation rates did not differ in the leaf-feeding damage scores among each other. These rates were able to clearly distinguish the damage between susceptible and resistant lines; hence, 20-neonate rate could be used as the standard infestation rate for future infestation in the maize resistance research program.","PeriodicalId":16156,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Insect Science","volume":"25 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11973898/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143795633","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, the current knowledge of the morphology of the different developmental stages within G. menyuanensis reveals an information deficit that needs to be addressed. This study is the first to report the life history, sexual dimorphism, and morphology of eggs, mature larvae, pupae, and adult antennal sensilla types of G. menyuanensis. This study used a K-means clustering method, based on the head width, body length, body width, and the number of crochets of larvae at each instar, to differentiate instars of G. menyuanensis; the description of the morphology of larvae, pupae, and adult antennae employed light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy photographs. The results revealed that the instar grouping was reliable and verified by the Brooks-Dyar combined with Crosby rules, revealing that the larval stage of G. menyuanensis comprises 7 instars. This species produces one generation per year in the alpine meadow, with its life cycle lasting approximately 300 d in total. The pupae and adult antennae significantly differed between the sexes, indicating sexual dimorphism in the 2 genders. Nine types and 14 subtypes of antennal sensilla were observed in male antennae (bipectinate), while only 3 types and 3 subtypes were found in female adult antennae (club-like).

Smooth brome grass (Bromus inermis Leyss) has been found to be an effective wheat stem sawfly sink and parasitoid source when grown in areas neighboring wheat fields in Montana. To better understand the ecology of the system, we investigated both the wheat stem sawfly-induced volatile organic compounds produced by smooth brome and winter wheat, and the electrophysiological and behavioral response of B. cephi and B. lissogaster to the collected volatiles via coupled electroantennography and gas chromatography-flame ionization detection. Volatile concentration analysis indicated significantly increased production of (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate, 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, and (E)-2-hexenal in wheat stem sawfly-infested smooth brome, and elevated production of 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one in infested smooth brome and winter wheat when compared to their uninfested counterparts. Both B. cephi and B. lissogaster exhibited significant electrophysiological and behavioral response to (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate, 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, and hexahydrofarnesyl acetone.

Insecticide treatments applied as contact insecticides are effective in managing insect populations. However, recovery of the insects after exposure to these insecticides is increased if food is present, reducing the efficacy of surface treatments and leading to continued infestations. In addition, variation in temperature and humidity could play a significant role in recovery. Here, we assess the role of food, temperature, and humidity on the recovery of Tribolium castaneum Herbst, red flour beetle, after exposure to a contact insecticide. We found food is an important factor in recovery under different temperature and humidity conditions. While recovery was higher at warmer temperatures and higher humidities, recovery increased further when food was present versus absent. Moreover, we found that any amount of flour, even a dusting, resulted in over 90% of beetles recovering after insecticide exposure, but when sand was substituted for flour, recovery was 25% lower compared to a no food treatment. These results highlight the importance of how environmental factors and the availability of food influence efficacy of insecticide treatments. Sanitation in food facilities is critically important as even the smallest amount of food present can cause substantial recovery, allowing beetles to escape treated areas and move throughout facilities. Further work pinpointing variation in underlying recovery between different populations and among different insect species is needed to understand local adaptation potential.","PeriodicalId":16156,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Insect Science","volume":"25 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11908423/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143630659","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}

The article surveys the dynamics of historical descriptions of new species in various SPP taxa; the majority of all species (90%) were described prior to 1925, while the key pests were described prior to 1866. The review shows that process of describing new SPP species is not random but is influenced by following factors: (i) larger species tend to be described earlier than smaller and SPP moths and beetles are described earlier than psocids and mites; (ii) key economic pests are on average described earlier than less significant ones. Considering a species name as a \"password\" to unique information resources, this review also assesses the historical number of synonymous or duplicate names of SPP species. Pests belonging to some higher taxa Lepidoptera and Coleoptera has accumulated more scientific synonyms than those others belonging to Psocoptera and Acari. Number of synonyms positively correlated with the economic importance of SPP species. The review summarized semantic origin of SPP names showing minor proportion of names (17.6%) are toponyms (geography) or eponyms (people), while the majority (82.4%) fall into other categories (descriptive, etc.).
