Furthermore, these symbionts possess the capacity to modulate the composition of honeydew, a substance that is particularly favored by numerous ant species. That's why we were interested in determining whether the presence of facultative bacteria in myrmecophilic aphids influences their relationship with mutualistic ants. In the vicinity of Antananarivo (Madagascar), the objectives of the study were to (i) determine the diversity of ants, aphids and symbionts and to (ii) assess the impacts of the identified symbiont on behavioural interactions of ants and aphids. We identified a total of four species (Serratia symbiotica, Rickettsia, Spiroplasma, Hamiltonella defensa) of facultative symbionts present in the three ant species (Camponotus maculate, Monomorium madecassum, Nylanderia gracilis) we tested and a total of six facultative symbionts (Serratia symbiotica, Rickettsia, Spiroplasma, Hamiltonella defensa, Regiella insecticola, Rickettsiella) among three of the five aphid species (Aphis citricidus, Aphis fabae, Aphis spiraecola, Macrosiphum euphorbiae, Rhopalosiphum maidis) we tested. Although our results did not show the involvement of symbionts on ant behaviour or their association with aphids, our study showed that the number of ants increases with the number of interactions, that Nylanderia gracilis are the ants with the most interactions and finally that ants observed on pesticide-treated plots have fewer interactions with aphids.","PeriodicalId":19071,"journal":{"name":"Neotropical Entomology","volume":"54 1","pages":"40"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143468613","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}

Smith) in India. Information regarding the developmental and reproductive behaviour of S. frugiperda on various rearing diets is vital for mass production in the laboratory. The present study reports larval, pupal, and adult development period, survival rate, parameters of life table, and nutritional indices of S. frugiperda on maize-artificial diet (maize up to 3rd instar and artificial diet after), artificial diet, maize leaves, and castor leaves under laboratory conditions. Egg to adult preoviposition development time on maize-artificial diet (27.78 ± 0.31 days) was significantly lower than that on other diets. Furthermore, S. frugiperda fecundity on maize-artificial diet was significantly higher than on artificial diet, maize leaves, and castor leaves. The values of finite rate of increase (λ) and intrinsic rate of increase (r) were highest on the maize-artificial diet at 0.176 day-1 and 1.193 day-1, respectively, as compared to others. The values of nutritional indices such as relative growth rate (RGR) and relative consumption rate (RCR) were substantially superior for S. frugiperda fed on maize-artificial diet, artificial diet, and maize leaves than for larvae fed on castor leaves. Growth and reproduction parameters values showed that S. frugiperda larvae rearing on successive feeding on maize-artificial diet were the most suitable. The present study concludes that maize-artificial diet-based successive feeding can be used as mass multiplication of S. frugiperda in laboratory conditions.","PeriodicalId":19071,"journal":{"name":"Neotropical Entomology","volume":"54 1","pages":"41"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143468610","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 Madagascar almond tree, Terminalia neotaliala Capuron (Myrtales: Combretaceae), is uniquely layered and has been introduced and cultivated across several continents, where it is commonly used in urban landscape projects. To assess the damage caused by bostrichid beetles to T. neotaliala, the damage status of T. neotaliala, the classification of bostrichid beetles, and their vertical distribution on host plants were investigated. The primary site of infestation by bostrichid beetles on T. neotaliala living trees was the lateral branches in the fields with the damage symptoms, including unseasonable yellowed leaves, branch breakage, or eventual death of the entire lateral branch. The total percentage of attacked plants was 9.53%. Significant positive correlations existed between the percentage of attacked plants and the diameter at breast height and crown width, but not with the tree height. The percentage of damage by bostrichid beetles to T. neotaliala reached level I and level II over the 2-year observation. A total of nine species from four genera of Bostrichidae infested the T. neotaliala, i.e., Sinoxylon eucerum Lesne, S. flabrarius Lesne, S. japonicum Lesne, S. mangiferae Chûjô, S. pygmaeum Lesne, S. tignarium Lesne, Xylocis tortilicornis Lesne, Xylodectes ornatus (Lesne), and Xylopsocus capucinus (Fabricius). There were no distinct differences in the total number of Bostrichidae species on different crown layers of T. neotaliala, and no significant correlations between the total number of species and individuals, and the number of individuals of each species and the measurements of plants (i.e., diameter at breast height, crown width, and tree height). Our findings provide essential information for the development, implementation and monitoring of effective control strategies against bostrichid beetles on T. neotaliala.","PeriodicalId":19071,"journal":{"name":"Neotropical Entomology","volume":"54 1","pages":"36"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143399629","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}

Using ultrasonication, we prepared stable and uniform nano-emulsions characterized by thermodynamic properties, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results showed that the nano-emulsions were effective in controlling the three pests, with the most potent activity observed against Aphis gossypii. Our findings suggest that plant oil nano-emulsions have the potential to be used as a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional pesticides.

This has raised concerns on the dominance effects in pollination-dependent crops like passion fruits (Passiflora edulis Sims) in tropical regions. That is because dominant bee species might overlap their foraging time with regular pollinators, potentially impairing crop yield. Our aim was to understand how dominant small bees affect regular pollinators of passion fruit flowers and its implications on crop production for smallholder farmers. We sampled bees on farms cropping yellow passion fruits in the Cerrado, the Brazilian savanna, and established pollination exclusion experiments to evaluate the interacting effects of dominance and bee community composition on crop yield. We observed a low frequency of regular pollinators, while dominant floral visitors were highly abundant. Dominant pollinators highly overlapped their foraging activity with regular pollinators through time. Contrary to our expectations, the dominance of native and non-native bee species did not directly affect the occurrence of regular pollinators nor crop yield. However, we found evidence that exploitative competition may indirectly affect pollination by regular pollinators. Manual and bee pollination combined increased fruit quality, highlighting the potential benefits of diverse pollinator communities for sustainable crop production. Our findings emphasize the need for strategies that can improve the quality and abundance of resources in agroecosystems for regular native pollinators to optimize pollination in passion fruits on smallholder farms and reduce dominance effects caused by small floral-visiting bees.","PeriodicalId":19071,"journal":{"name":"Neotropical Entomology","volume":"54 1","pages":"32"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143066433","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}

It has been found that the gut microbiota plays substantial roles in immune response regulation and host-gut microbiome symbiosis, as well as in pathogen resistance and overall fitness in Tephritidae fruit flies that are major pests of agricultural importance. In this review, we discuss the modulation of immune responses of Tephritidae fruit flies by the gut microbiota with particular emphasis on the general interactions between microbiota and the immune system. These interactions help to unravel new horizons of pest management. Regulating gut microbiota modifies the performance of biological control agents and SIT and allows the creation of microbial therapies that affect the vital physiological functions of fruit flies. Besides, deploying microbes that can modulate the immune response and using microbial-derived signals provide an eco-friendly and more sustainable way of eradicating chemical pesticides and making farming systems less susceptible to climatic variability. This paper reviews various aspects of the possibility of using gut microbiota for changing the approach to Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs that would improve methods of controlling Tephritidae fruit fly populations more ecologically.","PeriodicalId":19071,"journal":{"name":"Neotropical Entomology","volume":"54 1","pages":"34"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143066571","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}
