It involved 3 studies of the AMHS: a baseline study, an effectiveness study, and an autodissemination study on Aedes (Diptera: Culicidae) mosquitoes. Forty AHMS units filled with water were deployed for the baseline study. During the effectiveness study, 40 untreated AMHS units with water were placed alongside 40 AMHS units treated with Mosquito Home Aqua (MHAQ) solution, the retail solution used for AMHS. The autodissemination study featured 40 AMHS units treated with MHAQ alongside 40 control AMHS units without MHAQ, together with 25 Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) larvae. Notably, treated traps in the effectiveness study exhibited a significant reduction in the Ovitrap Index (OI) compared to the baseline traps in the baseline study. The effectiveness study validated AMHS's efficacy, with treated traps displaying a significantly lower OI than untreated counterparts (P < 0.05). The study also showed a decrease in the percentage of egg hatching and percentage of adult emergence in treated traps compared to untreated traps. Autodissemination was evident, marked by a significant percentage of adult emergence decrease of Ae. aegypti larvae, without affecting sex ratios. It strongly suggests that AMHS can effectively reduce Aedes populations through direct contact and autodissemination without affecting sex ratios.","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/PMC11997970/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144006803","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}

Its presence was first brought to light by observations uploaded on iNaturalist, a citizen science platform, from Eucalyptus globulus plantations. Specimens collected from the plantations were examined morphologically and dissected to reveal the diagnostic characters of G. platensis. DNA sequences of the cytochrome c oxidase gene (COI) amplified from Indian specimens were 0.3% different from G. platensis sequences from Tasmanian populations and over 4% different from any other Gonipterus species for which DNA data are available. Sequence data from 6 invasive populations of G. platensis indicates multiple, independent invasions from a Tasmanian source population to different parts of the world. The collection of specimens, including larvae, over multiple years indicates that the population in the Nilgiris is persistent, with the earliest evidence for its presence in the region being March 2019. We recommend further monitoring and assessment of population growth and spread of Gonipterus platensis to minimize the economic impact of this potentially important pest of Eucalyptus in India. Citizen science played a critical role in this discovery, and we recommend that subject experts engage with nature enthusiasts on platforms like iNaturalist so that the wide reach of public participation is harnessed to effectively monitor biodiversity.","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/PMC12023155/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144004252","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}

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}

Significant morphological differences between the two sexes were observed. The female has a pair of large mandibles with 16 teeth arranged in two rows. The first row contains 16 teeth, while the second row is located near the terminal teeth at the lower part. In contrast, the male mandibles have 2 to 3 teeth, totaling over 20, with a slender structure and small teeth distributed near the center at the terminal end of the mandibles. The tip of the male tongue is narrower and triangular than in shape compared to the female. Additionally, there are significant differences in the shape of the antennae and the types of antennal sensilla between males and females. This study also observed that the middle lobe of the male masculine stem is V-shaped, and the terminal end of the masculine lateral process is bifurcated, featuring 5 to 7 slender, finger-like branches. These unique morphological structures are useful for distinguishing male Culicoides from each other. For the first time, this paper describes the internal structures of this species, including histological sections of the digestive, nervous, respiratory, and reproductive systems.

Using stored product pest (SPP) arthropods as a model group, this article overviews the historical impacts of taxonomy on applied entomology. 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.). It is concluded that awareness of taxonomic advances, including changes to species and higher taxa names, should be effectively communicated to pest control practitioners and applied entomology students, and specifically addressed in relevant textbooks, web media, and databases.","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/PMC11966609/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143772451","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}

Volatile cues provide information that can attract pollinators and natural enemies or repel crop pests. Naturally occurring VOCs are valuable tools for controlling and monitoring pests as part of integrative pest management strategies. However, their effectiveness as monitoring tools depends on the surrounding context, emphasizing the importance of evaluating their performance within the specific conditions in which they will be deployed. Delia platura (Meigen), or seedcorn maggot, is a globally distributed pest, often feeding on seeds of legumes, allium, and cereal grains. Adults of this pest rely on olfaction when searching for oviposition sites. To determine which cues are more attractive for D. platura, and if the attraction to certain cues depends on the surrounding crop context, a 2-factorial blocked experiment was conducted to test the individual and combined effects of previously reported attractants (silage alfalfa, fresh alfalfa, manure, fish meal, bone meal, soil, a commercially available attractant and control soils) and at-risk crop species (field corn, soybean, and snap bean) on adult response. There were differences between attractants and seed types but no interactions. Traps containing silage alfalfa attracted more flies than the controls and the commercially available attractant. Traps containing corn attracted more flies than those containing soybean. These results indicate that D. platura uses volatile cues to differentiate among attractant sources and seed types, and that future management practices could use the same attractant across the 3 crop systems.","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/PMC11997967/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144024378","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 the tropics, there are many undiscovered species and recent efforts have uncovered many new taxa associated with palms. One species of Cixiidae, Haplaxius crudus (Van Duzee), is economically important due to its ability to transmit palm lethal decline phytoplasmas, which has caused significant economic losses to palm producers across the Caribbean and the United States. A survey was conducted in Trinidad and Tobago to assess the potential threat that lethal yellowing and lethal bronzing pose to Trinidad and Tobago by evaluating the status of Haplaxius crudus (and other putative vectors) on the islands and genetically characterize populations in the islands to determine if H. crudus was a distinct haplotype. Populations of H. crudus were sampled and analyzed to assess genetic variability. Specimens of H. crudus were homogenous for the COI gene but represent a novel haplotype of the species. All specimens of H. crudus were negative for phytoplasma. Additionally, 8 species of Derbidae were documented, including one new species, Oropuna tobagoensissp. n., 5 species of Cixiidae and one species of Delphacidae on coconut palms. These data provide a valuable baseline to aid in the development of a long-term, robust monitoring program that will allow for rapid and early detection of palm phytoplasmas should they be introduced to the islands and ultimately help prevent the establishment of the disease and economic losses to the coconut industry.","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/PMC12042273/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143971576","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}

For example, the male head shape differs considerably between Nasonia Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) species. In addition, differences in courtship behaviors, and possibly influences of a male-specific aphrodisiac pheromone, contribute to interspecific prezygotic isolation. However, the possible relationships between courtship, pheromone signaling, and male head shape are unknown. Using multimodal imaging techniques, we conducted a comprehensive examination of the skeletomuscular and exocrine gland systems of the lower head region of all 4 Nasonia species and their sister genus Trichomalopsis Crawford (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea). This analysis reveals the presence of 3 undescribed exocrine glands in the lower head region and a unique mandibular modification, the basal mandibular carina, that might be involved in pheromone spread. We performed morphometric and volumetric analyses using 3D datasets from synchrotron X-ray microtomography and found that the size of the genomandibular gland and the corresponding basal mandibular carina correlates with both interspecific courtship length and head shape differences, indicating that this gland is a likely source of the oral aphrodisiac pheromone. These differences correlate with the prevalence of within-host mating rather than phylogenetic relatedness in Nasonia species, with increased within-host mating occurring in species with larger genomandibular glands. Our findings create an opportunity to better understand the complex gene regulatory networks underlying superficially unrelated traits and serve as a link between behavior, chemical ecology, evo-devo, and descriptive taxonomy.","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/PMC11997971/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143969420","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}

Three quantitative inventory methods-mini-Winkler, monolith, and pitfall traps-were employed along a 200-m transect with 20 plots per site. In total, 155 ant species were collected, comprising 146 native species (95%) and 8 introduced species (5%). A statistical analysis revealed no significant differences in species richness between the burned and unburned plots for each method. Divergent patterns in species composition were observed between paired burned and unburned plots across 3 sites: Ambositra (56 vs 64), Ibity (23 vs 42), and Itremo (60 vs 59). Aggregating data from paired burned and unburned plots increased the species richness per locality. At Itremo, the combined species richness was 86, compared to 59 in unburned plots alone. Similarly, at Ibity, despite fire negatively impacting vegetation structure, the combined species richness was 51, versus 43 for unburned sites. Introduced ant species did not significantly differ between burned and unburned sites, with at least 4 species recorded at each tapia formation. The discovery of ground-nesting Camponotus andrianjaka, the first ant species in Madagascar found to have repletes, indicates an adaptation to arid environments and a possible strategy to escape fire.","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/PMC12001234/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144014532","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}
