The sucking insect pests damage the crops by sucking the sap thereby weakening the plants, and transmitting several bacterial, fungal and viral pathogens. The electrical penetration graph (EPG) has emerged as a highly valuable tool for analyzing the feeding behavior of sap-sucking insects on a broad range of host plants, examining pathogen transmission, evaluating the efficacy of feeding-restricting insecticides, plant responses to insect attack, and insect morphology and physiology. The EPG generates waveforms that facilitate the observation of probing behavior of the insects, enabling them to gain insights into the mechanisms and extent of underlying feeding. The integration of multiple complementary techniques, including histological analysis, video tracking, electron microscopy, elicitor proteins, and gene editing, has yielded significant advancements in the management of sap-sucking insects. These techniques have provided a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms and interactions involved in insect feeding behaviors, offering new opportunities for targeted interventions and improved pest control strategies. The EPG has been employed since the last five decades, yet needs to be investigated at higher levels with modernization. In spite of having a wide application, it still faces certain limitations, challenges, and research gaps that require addressing for enabling the scientists in novel findings. This review paper provides a historical prospect, the applications and technical intricacies of EPG.","PeriodicalId":16180,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Insect Behavior","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140883305","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}

During September-December, they return south using two flyways, one that spans the central United States and another that follows the Atlantic coast. Migrating monarchs fly diurnally and roost in groups nocturnally. We sought to determine the criteria this species uses to select roost sites, and the landscape context where those sites are found. We developed species distribution models of the landscape context of Atlantic flyway roost sites via citizen scientist observations and environmental variables that affect monarchs in the adult stage prior to migration, using two algorithms (Maximum Entropy and Genetic Algorithm for Ruleset Prediction). We developed two model validation methods: a citizen scientist smartphone application and peer-informed comparisons with aerial imagery. Proximity to surface water, elevation, and vegetative cover were the most important criteria for monarch roost site selection. Our model predicted 2.6 million ha (2.9% of the study area) of suitable roosting habitat in the Atlantic flyway, with the greatest availability along the Atlantic coastal plain and Appalachian Mountain ridges. Conservation of this species is difficult, as monarchs range over both large areas and various habitat types, and most current monarch research and conservation efforts are focused on the breeding and overwintering periods. These models can serve to help prioritize surveys of roosting sites and conservation efforts during the monarchs’ fall migration.","PeriodicalId":16180,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Insect Behavior","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139945988","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 might expect individuals to specialize in these tasks, as specialization should increase efficiency and therefore group performance. In groups that vary in sex, morphology, or generation, these factors often determine task participation. However, in social groups where these factors are invariant, persistent individual differences in behavior may drive task specialization. We tested this prediction in groups of the social spider Anelosimus eximius, through experiments conducted on natural colonies in the field. We measured the response to a risky stimulus of individual spiders and then tested whether this predicted their location and/or activity when placed back in a colony. We found the more risk-prone individuals were more likely to be in the more exposed areas of the colony used for capturing prey. Irrespective of the risk-taking behavior, individuals rest and care for young in the protective region of the colony, while in the exposed area of the web individuals are more active and more likely to be walking. Therefore, individual’s responses to risk showed an influence on where an individual would settle within the colony but had no effect on its activity. Our results support previous work that suggests adult A. eximius do not specialize in tasks. Indirect pathways for individual traits, via differences in spatial location or activity levels, may help to explain variation among-individuals in task participation.","PeriodicalId":16180,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Insect Behavior","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139909904","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}

Based on a previous study of a congeneric species, we hypothesized that sexual dimorphism may yield differences in how the host-specific red milkweed beetle Tetraopes tetrophthalmus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) deactivates milkweed defenses, a behavior in which beetles cut latex-delivering veins prior to feeding. We also predicted that beetles would display differences in their subsequent feeding patterns and attraction of conspecifics. Although beetles were size dimorphic (females were larger than males), we did not find consistent differences in the rates of vein cutting or initiation of feeding between males and females. Females did, however, cut more milkweed veins per leaf, and attracted more conspecifics than males. Sex differences in size and other traits were thus associated with differential attraction, but not strongly associated with the overall deactivation of plant defense.","PeriodicalId":16180,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Insect Behavior","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139769706","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}

Assessing TCAH flight capacity is key for understanding the risk of GRBV transmission. In this study, we examined the flight propensity and flight capacity of male and female TCAH using a flight mill apparatus under laboratory conditions. Our results revealed that sex and age had a significant effect on flight capacity. As insects aged, their flight capacity increased, with two-to-seven-day-old insects flying for shorter durations and covering shorter distances compared to mature insects (≥ eight days). Moreover, male insects exhibited significantly longer and farther flights compared to females, with an average flight capacity of 570.22 m for males and 239.57 m for females. Flight propensity, however, was not influenced by sex or age, as 88% (37/42) of males and 70% (31/44) of females engaged in flight. We observed that female TCAH were heavier and possessed larger wings than males. Nevertheless, wing loading and wing aspect ratio were similar between sexes, suggesting that morphological characteristics were not responsible for the observed differences in flight capacity. Our findings indicate that males have a greater capacity for GRBV dispersal compared to females, thereby providing a foundation for assessing the risk of GRBV spread facilitated by TCAH in vineyards.","PeriodicalId":16180,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Insect Behavior","volume":"63 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139679066","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 focused on the antennal movements of the honey bee and developed an experimental system for analyzing the antennal responses (ARs) of the honey bee using DeepLabCut, a markerless posture-tracking tool using deep learning. The tracking of antennal movements using DeepLabCut during the presentation of vertical (downward and upward) motion stimuli successfully detected the direction-specific ARs in the transverse plane, which has been reported in the previous studies where bees tilted their antennae in the direction opposite to the motion stimuli. In addition, we found that honey bees also exhibited direction-specific ARs in the coronal plane in response to horizontal (forward and backward) motion stimuli. Furthermore, an investigation of the developmental maturation of honey bee ARs showed that ARs to motion stimuli were not detected in bees immediately after emergence but became detectable through post-emergence development in an experience-independent manner. Finally, unsupervised clustering analysis using multidimensional data created by processing tracking data using DeepLabCut classified antennal movements into different clusters, suggesting that data-driven behavioral classification can apply to AR paradigms. In summary, our results revealed direction-specific ARs even in the coronal plane to horizontal motion stimuli and developmental maturation of ARs for the first time, and suggest the efficacy of data-driven analysis for behavioral classification in behavioral studies of the honey bee.","PeriodicalId":16180,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Insect Behavior","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139084713","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 is especially true within taxa with particular life-history strategies, for example those that exploit ephemeral habitat. Further, dispersal is commonly seen to be part of behavioral syndromes - suites of traits that covary across behavioral contexts. The red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae), is a major post-harvest crop pest responsible for large losses through the infestation of stored grain. In this system dispersal is known to have a strong genetic basis and differential artificial selection on dispersal traits produces strong phenotypic divergence. However, it is unknown which traits are able to rapidly evolve to produce these results, or which behavioral components underlie differences in dispersal. Using replicate lines of T. castaneum previously selected for divergent dispersal behavior, we test for correlated activity and movement patterns, morphology and substrate surface use. We find robustly repeatable associations between the dispersal phenotype and higher activity, straighter paths, larger body size (but not relative leg length) and increased tendency to remain at the surface of fodder. Together our results suggest that dispersal is part of a syndrome of traits in T. castaneum, and must be treated as such when considering the evolution of dispersal in this system, and in attempting to predict and control its spread.Supplementary information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10905-024-09862-x.","PeriodicalId":16180,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Insect Behavior","volume":"37 3-4","pages":"220-232"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11564205/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142648255","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}

Laser Doppler vibrometry showed that spider stridulation and percussive signals maintain higher amplitude over distance on dry leaves than on wet leaves. Male response to chemical cues (courtship latency and rate) declined after leaves with female silk became wet. In response to predatory bird calls (Blue Jays) transmitted through leaf surfaces, courting male spiders on dry leaves responded with anti-predator “freeze” behaviors more often and with longer duration than those on wet leaves, and with longer latency to return to courtship on wet leaves. Laser Doppler vibrometry confirmed that bird calls on dry leaves had significantly greater average amplitude and different spectral profiles than those on wet leaves. Males courted females on wet and dry leaves with equal frequency, but subsequent mating success was significantly greater on dry leaf litter. Interestingly, visual signals increased on wet leaves, suggesting compensatory behavior in response to moisture.

We determined whether the pattern varies as a function of host sex and the number of eggs laid on a given host. Out of the 5667 eggs observed, 95.9% were located on the host pronotum. Furthermore, eggs on the pronotum were mostly positioned in the center of this sclerite and oriented perpendicular to the host body axis.

Successful development of I. aldrichi into pupae was maximum for eggs laid on the host pronotum than for eggs laid on other parts of the host. Oviposition decisions in I. aldrichi are likely shaped by trade-offs between vulnerability to grooming by the host and foraging profitability of neonate larvae (i.e., their capacity to penetrate the host cuticle), but also by the mating and defensive behaviors of the Japanese beetle.","PeriodicalId":16180,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Insect Behavior","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138631487","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}
