The use of pesticides is one of the most common methods to control this pest. The wide distribution of the host, the large number of generations, and the polyphagous nature of T. vaporariorum have created the basis for its resistance to pesticides. The predatory mite Amblyseius swirskii Athias-Henriot is one of the effective natural enemies to control whiteflies in greenhouses. This study investigated the sublethal effects of the botanical pesticide Salpipest® derived from wild pistachio (Pistacia atlantica Desf. (Anacardiaceae)) essential oil on the biological parameters of A. swirskii on bell pepper plant under laboratory conditions. After conducting bioassays by leaf-dipping method and determining LC50 (121.599 mg a.i. L-1), the predator was exposed to the sublethal concentrations of LC10, LC20, and LC30 and its demographic parameters were determined. The results showed that the application of sublethal concentrations of Salpipest® had no significant effect on the duration of the different life stages and fecundity of A. swirskii. Population growth parameters of this predator were also not affected by sublethal concentrations of Salpipest®. Our results showed that Salpipest® had no negative effects on the biological performance of A. swirskii; therefore, the sublethal concentrations of this pesticide can be used in combination with A. swirskii in the integrated management of T. vaporariorum.","PeriodicalId":19071,"journal":{"name":"Neotropical Entomology","volume":"54 1","pages":"27"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143028829","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. Notably, the discovery of Erythrodiplax unimaculata in Maranhão highlights the importance of the study in a region with limited research on the group.

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}

Therefore, the objective of this study was to describe the growth and development of Chironomus calligraphus and Goeldichironomus holoprasinus, maintained under controlled laboratory conditions. The ovigerous masses of C. calligraphus and G. holoprasinus were collected and kept in the laboratory in 2-L plastic trays containing distilled water under constant aeration at 20 °C and photoperiod of 12/12 h. After hatching, three subjects from each posture were removed for ventralcephalic capsule length, cephalic capsule width, body length, and total body length. We determine the growth curve, daily growth rate, Dyar's rule, and larval instars. We followed the growth and development of C. calligraphus for 14 days and G. holoprasinus for 13 days. The growth ratio of Dyar was 1.30 for C. calligraphus and 1.48 for G. holoprasinus. The larvae developed in a short period and the species was easy to maintain in the laboratory.

Several samples of cultivable and non-cultivable ripe fruits were collected from ten orchards at low (800-950 m above sea level) and high (1750-1900 m above sea level) altitudes over a 2-year period. At high altitudes, we identified seven plant species hosting fruit flies. From these infested fruits, four species of Anastrepha and Ceratitis capitata emerged, while Doryctobracon crawfordii, D. areolatus, Utetes anastrephae, and Opius sp.

At low altitudes, eleven host plant species of fruit flies were identified, yielding seven Anastrepha species and parasitoids including D. crawfordii, D. areolatus, D. zeteki, and Ganaspis pelleranoi (Hymenoptera: Figitidae). We provide the first record of D. zetekii emerging from A. kulhmanni in South American sapote (Quararibea cordata), as well as the first extensive documentation of parasitoids in Anastrepha-infested fruits in Peru.

In this study, we investigated the awareness about bee diversity and pollination services among young students in a medium-sized city in the Cerrado region, the main agricultural frontier in Central Brazil. We applied questionnaires and multiple correspondence analyses to evaluate students' information on the subject, in three middle schools in Uberlândia-MG. Honeybees, a non-native species in Brazil, were the most cited bee by students (47.8%). While most students believed that bees should be protected (93.14%), only 66.66% recognized their importance to humans. Although 72.28% of the participants claimed to know what pollination is, nearly half of them (49%) did not fully understand the process and considered it unimportant for people's lives. Participants who recognized solitary native bees showed a better understanding of the pollination process. Our findings indicate that schools, the internet, and television are the main sources of information on bees for young students in Central Brazil. Understanding people's perception of bees can guide environmental education and citizen science projects and inform decision-making for biodiversity conservation actions. In this article, we identify essential elements for teaching a holistic view of bees and pollination promoting the comprehension of their importance.","PeriodicalId":19071,"journal":{"name":"Neotropical Entomology","volume":"54 1","pages":"21"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142910075","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}

A comprehensive analysis was performed utilizing long-term monthly temperature and rainfall data to generate spatially interpolated climate surfaces with a 1-km resolution. Vegetation variables derived from Terra MODIS were also incorporated. Furthermore, elevation data obtained from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission were utilized to derive slope, aspect, and hillshade based on the digital elevation model. The collected data were subject to resampling for optimal data smoothing. Subsequently, a random forest model was applied, followed by an accuracy assessment to evaluate the classification output.

We analyzed the occurrence of 11 pest insect species in 450 eucalyptus stands over 9 years in the southeastern region of Brazil in our study. We related pest occurrences to specific year periods and climatic variations using circular uniformity analysis and zero-inflated models. We found that the species generally had isolated peaks of occurrence during the year and that the increase in the occurrence of at least five species was related to temperature or precipitation. The results highlight the sensitivity of pests to climatic conditions, showing the importance of management strategies to ensure the sustainability and productivity of eucalyptus plantations.
