These phenotypic expressions are expected in very small amounts in any natural insect population and may result from inherent individual formation factors, such as hormonal or external elements, i.e., environmental pollution and parasitism, both of which can disrupt sexual differentiation development processes. This study assessed a Simuliidae collection sampled as a result of the Brazilian focus on endemic onchocerciasis in the Yanomami Indigenous Land in 2013, 2014, 2017, and 2021. Some specimens exhibited morphological alterations comprising sexual mosaic and teratogenicity phenotypes. In total, three Simulium guianense Wise, 1911 s.l. and three S. incrustatum Lutz, 1910 s.l. specimens presenting significant sexual anomalies were observed, two of which were teratogenic. No specimens were found parasitized by nematodes. A detailed morphological description of each specimen is provided. This study suggests the importance of assessing and monitoring the environmental toxicity of the sampling area and potential associations between anomalous specimens and environmental pollution by mercury, as all specimens were found in mining-impacted areas. This is the first record of sexual mosaic and teratogeny in Simuliidae specimens from Brazil.","PeriodicalId":19071,"journal":{"name":"Neotropical Entomology","volume":"54 1","pages":"30"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143029236","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}

Despite the significant reduction in damage caused by C. scenica observed in plants colonized with isolate CEPAF_ENT 27 in a choice test, our results indicated a limited influence of the isolates tested on the host selection behavior and in C. scenica development, including parameters of the fertility life table. The cluster analysis, however, indicated a significant difference between all isolates tested in terms of the chemical-bromatological composition and the levels of photosynthetic pigments in inoculated plants. The biplot analysis indicated that isolate CEPAF-ENT27 (most promising) showed a positive correlation with nitrogen, potassium, calcium, boron, copper, and zinc levels, as well as with chlorophyll a and b levels. Additionally, foliar magnesium levels were significantly higher in all isolates tested.

Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of lambda-cyhalothrin for the control of S. cosmioides. Specifically, toxicity and histopathological changes in the midgut were evaluated. The effectiveness of the insecticide was determined by estimating the different lethal concentrations (LCs) in the laboratory upon S. cosmioides. Lambda-cyhalothrin was found toxic to S. cosmioides (LC50 = 23.03 mg L-1 and LC90 = 174.8 mg L-1), with the survival reduced from 83.33% in the control to 37.89%, 16.66%, 0%, and 0% after 72 h of exposure to the LC25, LC50, LC75, and LC90 of lambda-cyhalothrin, respectively. Histopathological studies revealed that lambda-cyhalothrin caused damage to midgut cells, including epithelial disorganization, increased cytoplasmic vacuolization, brush border degeneration, nuclear chromatin condensation, and cell fragmentation, indicating cell death by apoptosis. It was concluded that lambda-cyhalothrin, a neurotoxic insecticide, caused damage to the midgut of S. cosmioides, compromising its physiology and indicating that it has potential to be used to control this pest.","PeriodicalId":19071,"journal":{"name":"Neotropical Entomology","volume":"54 1","pages":"26"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143029235","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}

The present study evaluated the diversity and distribution of adult odonates in the Legal Amazonia zone of the Brazilian state of Maranhão, to identify the key environmental drivers shaping local odonate communities. We sampled 27 streams along a landscape gradient ranging from degraded to preserved conditions within the Pindaré River basin. Our findings reveal that environmental integrity positively influences the odonate diversity and abundance, with degraded environment favoring generalist species. These generalist species are particularly vulnerable to habitat loss, particularly the reduction of dense vegetation.

Anthonomus eugenii as an important invasive pest on pepper is now mainly located in the USA and Mexico. However, the global potential geographic distribution (PGD) of A. eugenii with climate change remains unknown, which makes it difficult to monitor and control. In this study, based on the global distribution areas and important environmental variables, we constructed an ensemble model to predict the global PGD of A. eugenii under the current climate and three climate scenarios (SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, and SSP5-8.5) in the 2030s and 2050s. The mean true skill statistics (TSS) and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of the EM were 0.825 and 0.988, respectively, indicating that the EM was reliable. The mean temperature of the driest (bio9) and wettest (bio8) quarter and precipitation of the coldest quarter (bio19) were the most important environmental variables affecting the PGD of A. eugenii. Under the current climate, the PGD of A. eugenii was mainly concentrated in southern North America and central South America. The suitable areas of A. eugenii could increase significantly, reaching the maximum under SSP5-8.5 in the 2030s, approximately 1911.7 × 104 km2. Moreover, the distribution centroid would shift to higher latitudes with global warming. It also had the potential invasion risk in Russia, China, the Republic of the Congo, and Romania, which should enhance quarantine control and early warning.","PeriodicalId":19071,"journal":{"name":"Neotropical Entomology","volume":"54 1","pages":"25"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143008960","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}
