Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the sublethal dose and the effect on biochemical markers of MREO and its emulsion (MREM) against <i>Sitophilus zeamais</i> and <i>Sitophilus oryzae</i>. The emulsion was prepared by combining hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) (2 wt%) with MREO to concentrations of 39.18 and 25.61 μL of substance L⁻¹ of air for <i>S. zeamais</i> and <i>S. oryzae</i>, respectively. The insecticidal activity of both MREO and MREM was evaluated by the fumigation method, followed by the determination of Glutathione S-Transferase (GST), esterase-α, esterase-β, superoxide dismutase (SOD), acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activities, and lipid peroxidation (LPO). The MREO caused a mortality rate above 25%, with an increase of AChE and LPO for both species, there was altered esterase-α for <i>S. zeamais</i> and inhibition of GST, esterase-α, esterase-β and SOD activity for <i>S. oryzae</i>. Meanwhile, the MREM caused a mortality rate of less than 1.5%, with an increase in GST, SOD, and LPO enzymes for both species, and an increase in the enzymatic activity of esterase-α for <i>S. oryzae</i>.

Pest monitoring, however, is challenging because of the difficulties in identifying eggs and larvae. Forecasting models, particularly physiologically based demographic models (PBDMs), are helpful tools in the management of several agricultural insect pests. No PBDMs of note are available for <i>C. gnidiella</i> to date. Herein, we adapted a PBDM for <i>Lobesia botrana</i> to <i>C. gnidiella</i> by using literature data on insect developmental rates to fit temperature-dependent equations, and we validated the model by using independent data consisting of weekly male catches in pheromone traps placed in 16 wine-growing areas of Central and Southern Italy, between 2014 and 2022.

Overall, our results make the model quite realistic and potentially useful to support insect monitoring activities and decision-making in crop protection, at least in the contexts in which the model was validated.

Despite years of research aimed at predicting the pest control potential of these communities, few studies have described natural enemy communities composed of multiple taxonomic orders through a functional lens and identified traits involved in predator–prey interactions. Arthropod predator communities consist of individuals from several taxonomic orders exhibiting significant physical and behavioral differences that likely contribute differently to pest control. These inter-order differences justify the adoption of a functional approach, rather than a taxonomic one, to describe predator communities. However, there is no generalized functional trait identified to describe arthropod predator communities and predict the pest control potential by these communities. To address this knowledge gap, we reviewed 194 relationships from the literature, examining various traits and feeding characteristics for different groups of ground-dwelling arthropod predators (spiders, Coleoptera, and Chilopoda). We tried to determine whether a functional trait can be identified to explain the pest control potential across a multi-taxonomic assemblage. Each relationship was described in terms of the trait, the feeding characteristic, and the direction of the relationship in quantitative studies. Across all taxonomic groups, we consistently observed a positive relationship between predator body size and prey body size. This relationship was the most tested and the most shared among orders. Consequently, this study provides a proxy trait (body size) that can be used to predict a potential of predation and therefore inform on the pest control provided by multi-taxonomic assemblages of predators. </p>","PeriodicalId":16736,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pest Science","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143608022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in storage conditions, maize is susceptible to different pest species, which compromises its quality. It is unknown how effectively the Bt maize functions in storage environments or if resistance is being inherited in later generations. This study investigates two commercial maize genotypes: a transgenic genotype expressing the Cry1Ab protein and its near-isoline counterpart. It utilizes commercial seeds of both genotypes (F1), along with seeds obtained from field-grown transgenic and near-isoline plants (F2), which represent the seeds stored by farmers and the agricultural industry. The aim is to assess their vulnerability to common insect pests that affect stored products. By assessing grain damage and insect population dynamics, we identify differences in resistance among these different maize genotypes and generations. Our findings show that transgenic maize exhibits strong resistance against <i>Sitotroga cerealella</i> but lower resistance against <i>Sitophilus zeamais</i>. The impact of <i>Oryzaephilus surinamensis</i> on both genotypes was negligible. Additionally, the resistance diminishes in the F2 generation. With <i>S. cerealella</i> the F2 transgenic experienced 55% more damage compared to the F1. Similarly, in the case of <i>S. zeamais</i>, the F2 maize produced five times more frass than the F1, highlighting a significant reduction in resistance.

Our results demonstrate that all selected lines exhibited significantly improved survival abilities compared to non-selected lines. Moreover, resistance to starvation persisted across generations without artificial selection under starvation conditions, indicating stable inheritance of this trait. We also observed extended lifespan in female adults and enhanced resistance to desiccation and low temperature in both males and females from the resistance lines. Additionally, we conducted preliminary exploration of the mechanisms underlying starvation resistance in these resistant lines through transcriptome sequencing for the first time. The analysis revealed that, under starvation stress, pathways such as amino acid metabolism and nucleotide metabolism exhibited consistent expression patterns in both resistant and non-resistant lines. However, specific pathways including arachidonic acid metabolism in lipid metabolism, and glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism as well as glycolysis/gluconeogenesis in carbohydrate metabolism, were upregulated only in the resistant lines.

Insects avoided feeding on food treated with essential oils, as well as laying eggs and staying in areas treated with these compounds.
