However, the extent of these benefits often depends on the contexts of location and time. As for biological control, field borders can promote natural enemy conservation if the plants therein can provide adequate resources (e.g. shelter, alternative food, microclimate). In the context of location, field borders can be adjacent to areas with varying degrees of agricultural intensification, including fields with annual crops, perennial crops, or forest areas. While many studies have investigated how field borders can influence arthropod communities in adjacent crops, the opposite direction of effect (i.e. how crop areas can influence adjacent field borders) remains an underexplored topic. Therefore, in this three-season study, we selected vegetated field borders next to annual crops, perennial crops, and forest areas, to study their communities of spontaneous plants and arthropods as well as their potential to engender biological control nearby. In general, our results indicate that both plant and arthropod community composition were influenced by the type of adjacent land use and season. Field border vegetation next to areas with higher level of agricultural intensification (i.e. annual or perennial crops) harbored more herbivores, flowers, and natural enemies, although some of these results were season dependent. Field borders adjacent to annual or perennial crop areas promoted stronger biological control of aphids, likely due to complementary food resources (herbivores and floral resources) provided for natural enemies by the plants within those borders. Taken altogether, our results reinforce the importance of preserving spontaneous field border vegetation, especially in areas under intensive agriculture management.","PeriodicalId":19071,"journal":{"name":"Neotropical Entomology","volume":"54 1","pages":"86"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144753887","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}

Hall is a recently described monotypic riodinid genus composed of a single myrmecophilous butterfly species, Annulata annulifera Godman, which occurs in bamboo forests in the Amazonian region. Here, we describe a new species of this genus, Annulata kaminskii Seraphim, Freitas & Mota sp. nov., from the southern Brazilian Amazonia, in addition to its life history and immature stages. This new species is aphytophagous and involved in a four-level trophic interaction with the bamboo plants it inhabits, scale insects whose honeydew and wax it feeds on, and two different, parabiotic ant species that tend to young and older larvae. This is the first case of a butterfly larva observed to offer, as rewards to tending ants, both a secretion produced by specific ant-organs (tentacle nectary organs) and an anal exudate that probably results from its liquid diet. Annulata kaminskii sp. nov. larvae present both tentacle nectary organs and vibratory papillae as ant-organs but anterior tentacle organs are absent. Furthermore, we provide a preliminary attempt at a phylogenetic hypothesis suggesting its systematic position within the Nymphidiini, as a member of the Lemoniadina subtribe (Nymphidiini: Riodininae), despite its lack of anterior tentacle organs. We further discuss the evolution of complex life-history traits in myrmecophilous butterflies in light of current published evidence.","PeriodicalId":19071,"journal":{"name":"Neotropical Entomology","volume":"54 1","pages":"84"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144601006","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 classification of citrus aphid species was outdated and limited within the Zhejiang Province, China. A comprehensive investigation was conducted to determine the aphid species associated with citrus cultivars from 2019 to 2024. The present study included an analysis of occurrence rate, ecological contexts, and microscope slides photographs of apterous viviparous female, along with the key morphometric parameters such as body length, antenna, rostrum, hind tarsus, cauda, and siphunculi. Our morphological and molecular data revealed five species in this particular citrus region. Among the identified species, Aphis (Aphis) gossypii Glover and A. (A.) spiraecola Patch were the most prevalent, followed by A. (A.) craccivora Koch, A. (Toxoptera) citricidus (Kirkaldy), and A. (T.) aurantii Boyer de Fonscolombe. Furthermore, the genetic variation among aphid clades was assessed using Kimura 2-parameter (K2P) model. The results showed that citrus aphid species exhibits low intraspecific genetic variation and high interspecific genetic variation. Although the morphometric parameters of these aphid species are relatively similar, they can be distinguished through extensive morphological characteristics and cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) fragment. Additionally, this study also addresses the historical and current distinctions among A. (A.) spiraecola and A. (T.) citricidus.

The evaluation of plant varieties for the expression of resistance against major insect pests is a key step for recommending and deploying resistant varieties in crops where pest pressure is high. Therefore, the use and publicizing of appropriate terminologies on HPR have a pivotal role in conveying information on effective resistant varieties to the scientific community and farmers. Basically, there are two HPR terminologies being used in the Entomology scientific literature: the classical HPR definition based on the trichotomous model of resistance, i.e., antixenosis, antibiosis, and tolerance; and a more recent proposition dividing plant defense into resistance vs. tolerance, the sichotomous model, which also incorporates the concepts of constitutive vs. induced resistance and direct vs. indirect resistance. In addition, there is scarce information on insect-resistance levels in commercial plant varieties to be divulged in seed labels, with exception of the Bt transgenic varieties. Using unstandardized technical terms on HPR can be confusing and less likely to transmit proper information on resistant varieties, hindering their use in the field. This review discusses the terminologies on HPR, the research gaps, and proposes a concept of what should be considered a resistant variety for practical purposes and uses by farmers, extension services, and the scientific public. Finally, the proposed HPR defense-growth model is presented for appreciation.","PeriodicalId":19071,"journal":{"name":"Neotropical Entomology","volume":"54 1","pages":"82"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144601008","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}

In Brazil, the lacewings Ceraeochrysa cubana and Chrysoperla externa are common in eucalyptus plantations, but little is known about the behavior of these predators toward the red gum lerp psyllid. This study evaluated the predatory behavior of larvae of both lacewing species on psyllid eggs and nymphs. Subsequently, the predatory capacity and functional response of C. externa were determined in relation to different developmental stages of the psyllid. Predatory capacity was studied for 2nd and 3rd instar larvae of C. externa using eucalyptus leaves naturally infested with 2nd and 3rd instar nymphs of G. brimblecombei. For the functional response, 3rd instar larvae, 24 h after ecdysis, were supplied with psyllid eggs at densities of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 eggs per predator larva. The results showed that larvae of both predators exhibit differences in their behavioral parameters, regardless of the developmental stage. Chrysoperla externa larvae are capable of preying on eggs and nymphs in the early instars of the red gum lerp psyllid. The 2nd and 3rd instar larvae of C. externa consumed an average of 19.75 and 38.4 nymphs, respectively. Third instar larvae of C. externa exhibited a type II functional response when fed with different egg densities. Our results suggest that C. externa is a potential control agent for eggs and early instar nymphs of G. brimblecombei. For C. cubana, further studies are necessary to determine its potential in controlling this pest.","PeriodicalId":19071,"journal":{"name":"Neotropical Entomology","volume":"54 1","pages":"85"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144601010","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 review thoroughly examines recent developments in formulations and delivery techniques with the goal of enhancing the effectiveness of botanical insecticides. In addition, we explore innovative methods such as nanoformulations, encapsulating technologies, and controlled release systems to improve the stability, bioavailability, and targeted delivery of these natural substances. Furthermore, the paper highlights the significance of synergists and adjuvants in enhancing the effectiveness of insecticides and addressing resistance issues in pest populations. Through a thorough analysis of existing research and the identification of important areas that need further exploration, this review seeks to offer valuable insights that can contribute to the creation of botanical insecticide products that are both more efficient and commercially successful.

Aedes albopictus (Skuse) (Asian tiger mosquito) is a rapidly spreading invasive species responsible for transmitting serious diseases, including dengue. In the present study, we evaluated eugenol's larvicidal activity against A. albopictus larvae and its impact on the non-target larvivorous fish, Trichogaster fasciata. Eugenol showed larvicidal activity with an LC50 of 149.89 ± 17.38 ppm, while clove oil had a lower LC50 of 77.11 ppm at 24 h. Eugenol exposure resulted in notable larval morphological changes, including melanization of the thorax and anal papillae. Histopathological analysis revealed toxic effects of eugenol on the peritrophic membrane, epithelial layer and microvilli of the larval midgut after 24 h. We also assessed the acute toxicity of eugenol on T. fasciata over 96 h using LC10, LC25 and LC50 concentrations. LC10 and LC25 concentrations were safe for the fish, but LC50 caused immediate mortality. Remarkably, LC25 concentration restored the natural pigmentation of T. fasciata, which had been lost in aquarium acclimatized conditions. Histopathological examination revealed normal gill and liver features in fish exposed to LC25. In an integrated model, eugenol at LC25 effectively killed A. albopictus larvae and did not harm the non-target larvivorous mosquito Toxorhynchites splendens Theobald and fish T. fasciata. Thus, eugenol (LC25) shows promise for controlling A. albopictus larvae in small aquariums and nursery ponds, alongside beneficial larvivorous species.","PeriodicalId":19071,"journal":{"name":"Neotropical Entomology","volume":"54 1","pages":"78"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144326302","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}
