Harpellales fungi (Kickxellomycotina, Zoopagomycota) have traditionally been considered commensals, but recent studies suggest they may exhibit parasitic or mutualistic characteristics under certain conditions. In this study, we explored these interactions using two well-established laboratory models: <em>Aedes aegypti</em> and <em>Zancudomyces culisetae.</em> Specifically, we investigated the impact of the gut-dwelling fungus <em>Z. culisetae</em> on <em>A. aegypti</em> larval development by measuring body size and development time under different nutritional conditions, with or without the fungus in the hindgut. Significant differences in body size and development time were observed during larval development in the presence of the gut fungus compared to the control group. Larvae colonized by the fungus exhibited larger body sizes and accelerated development. These effects were consistent under both nutrient-rich and nutrient-deficient conditions, underscoring the symbiotic roles of the gut-dwelling fungus. Interestingly, our results also revealed that even dead fungal spores enhanced mosquito larval development, suggesting previously unrecognized beneficial mechanisms associated with the fungal tissue. Transmission electron microscopy provided additional evidence of mosquito-fungus interactions, showing electron-dense particles within mosquito cells at sites of close contact with fungal cells, although further investigation is required to confirm their identity. Collectively, our findings challenge the traditional view of insect relationships with gut-dwelling fungi, providing evidence for a potential shift from commensalism to mutualism.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16189,"journal":{"name":"Journal of insect physiology","volume":"164 ","pages":"Article 104842"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144481052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study of interactions between diet and reproduction, which involve morpho-functional, behavioral, and endocrine aspects, is necessary for identifying the features of the adaptive strategies of insects in their natural environment. This review delves into the intricate relationship between nutrition and reproductive processes in female and male Lepidoptera. Indeed, nutrient-rich diets are crucial for reproductive success by accelerating ovarian and testicular development, egg maturation, sperm synthesis and migration, and accessory sex gland maturation. Moreover, such diets boost the biosynthesis and release of sex pheromones and promote pheromonal detection by the olfactory system, thus eliciting sexual displays. These physiological and behavioral changes increase fertilization rate and offspring production, highlighting the importance of balanced diets in sustaining insect populations. Then, the review explores the molecular mechanisms by which the evolutionary conserved insulin signaling pathway acts as a transducer of nutritional inputs in linking with the regulatory actions of a major reproductive hormone, namely juvenile hormone. Finally, this review provides a greater comprehensive and integrated understanding of adult diet influence on lepidopteran reproduction, and also opens up new research avenues in the fields of agricultural pest control and ecotoxicology.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16189,"journal":{"name":"Journal of insect physiology","volume":"164 ","pages":"Article 104838"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144279292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The efficacy of this revolution is now being challenged however, as the release of antibiotic residues into soils and waterways promotes the evolution and spread of antibiotic resistance genes. There are signs that this antibiotic pollution also has ecological costs, including reduced insect health. Here, we assess this risk. We discuss where, when and how wild insects are exposed to antibiotics, the consequences of this exposure and crucially, if the concentrations that wild insects encounter are sufficiently high to trigger phenotypic responses. Data demonstrate that antibiotic residues reach concentrations in the field that can have phenotypic impacts in insects. These impacts include reduced health and foraging activity in pollinators, and improved survival in insect vectors of disease, demonstrating potential consequences for food-security and disease transmission. More generally, antibiotics can reduce insect stress resistance meaning that antibiotic pollution could elevate insect susceptibility to other stressors implicated in insect declines. We highlight gaps in our understanding of how antibiotic pollution affects wild insects and the ecosystem services they provide. These gaps urgently need to be filled, because global antibiotic use is rising. Crucially, we must determine how antibiotic residues in the field degrade or accumulate along food chains, and how field-realistic concentrations affect insects directly and via interactions with other environmental stressors. This will offer concrete insights into the consequences of rising antibiotic use for insects, and their broader societal and ecological impacts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16189,"journal":{"name":"Journal of insect physiology","volume":"164 ","pages":"Article 104837"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144275125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The agricultural and horticultural pest, white-spotted flower chafer (WSFC), <em>Protaetia brevitarsis</em> (Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea), has significantly harmed numerous crops and fruits in China. It is hypothesized that WSFCs rely on specific OBPs and chemosensory receptors to identify palatable food sources and optimal oviposition sites. Twenty-three putative OBPs (PbreOBPs) were identified from the WSFC genome in our research. Based on phylogenetic analysis, PbreOBPs exhibited high degree of similarity to those of <em>Holotrichia parallela</em> and <em>Anomala corpulenta</em>. Tissue expression profiles showed that ten PbreOBPs exhibited antenna-biased expression. We recombined and purified three antenna-specific PbreOBPs: PbreOBP8, PbreOBP9, and PbreOBP18. Fluorescence competitive binding assays revealed that they had higher binding affinities to <em>β</em>-ionone, phenethyl salicylate, phenylacetaldehyde, and benzyl benzoate — compounds commonly found in floral volatiles. Additionally, PbreOBP8 showed the ability to bind microbial volatiles, such as 3-octanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol, and 1-octen-3-ol, suggesting a role in locating food or oviposition sites. Forthermore, we also predicted the key acid residues which involved in the binding of three PbreOBPs towards floral and microbial volatiles. The present investigation demonstrated that the antenna-specific PbreOBP8, PbreOBP9 and PbreOBP18 were likely involved in mediating the recognition of floral volatiles. The findings introduce possible avenues for further research into PbreOBPs and provide potential targets for creating olfactory-based control methods for WSFC populations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16189,"journal":{"name":"Journal of insect physiology","volume":"164 ","pages":"Article 104823"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144150644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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 aims to establish allometric functions for the nectar crop capacities of wild bees, which may be used as predictive tools in research related to bee nutrition and foraging ecology. Allometric scaling models, which typically relate body size to morphological or ecological traits, are proposed as a method of estimating crop capacity in wild bees. The crop load was measured in 2358 free-ranging foragers of different sizes (body length 5–29 mm) belonging to 25 different genera, in southern France. Overall, we established consistent allometric functions for predicting crop load capacities from the body length of wild bees, with a satisfactory degree of confidence. Sex is an important determinant of crop capacity, with females carrying maximal nectar loads around three times greater than males of similar size. We also found evidence that taxonomic affiliation influences allometric properties of crop capacities. Further studies are however needed to refine the predictions by taxonomic group, and in particular for the eusocial bumblebees. Field validation involving complementary data on floral nectar availability indicated that an allometric framework can be used to address research questions related to foraging success and competition for nectar in large wild bees (body length similar or greater than that of honeybees). Future studies should aim at refining the taxonomic resolution of allometric functions to family or genus level, which would provide a better understanding of the ecological particularities of certain groups of bees, such as eusocial species whose foragers store nectar for the entire colony or, conversely, cleptoparasitic (cuckoo) female bees that do not supply their broods.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16189,"journal":{"name":"Journal of insect physiology","volume":"164 ","pages":"Article 104840"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144325985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
