The guacimo (Guazuma ulmifolia Lam.) is a tree used for several purposes in agroforestry. However, phytophagous mites have great impact on guacimo, creating leaf galls. The objective of this study was to taxonomically identify mites found in galls of G. ulmifolia at the Tepalcingo community, Morelos, Mexico. Random samples of malformed leaves and galls were collected during field trips, and taxonomic keys were used to identify the mites. Subsequently, the galls were dissected, and identity of the samples was determined with the aid of a stereoscope. The phytophagous mites belonged to the Eriophyidae family and are an invasive pest of guacimo trees. Future studies should focus on finding effective biological control agents and using molecular techniques for more accurate identification.","PeriodicalId":21930,"journal":{"name":"Southwestern Entomologist","volume":"82 1","pages":"477 - 480"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89652296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Type of functional response was determined by logistic regression analysis that suggested larval stages I, II, and III of P. clavatus had a type II functional response. Handling time decreased with the state of development of the syphid. The attack rate was greater in larval stage I compared to larval stages II and III. Larval stage III had a greater attack rate than did larval stage II of P. clavatus. First, second, and third larval stages of P. clavatus ate an increasing number of A. nerri nymphs as abundance of prey increased.","PeriodicalId":21930,"journal":{"name":"Southwestern Entomologist","volume":"116 1","pages":"313 - 320"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80707837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Central American locust (CAL), Schistocerca piceifrons piceifrons (Walker) (Acrididae: Cyrtacanthacridinae), is a harmful agricultural pest from Mexico to Costa Rica. This study assessed the nutritional contents of the locust. Enzymatic digestibility of hydrosoluble proteins and the antioxidant capacities of the derived peptides were analyzed. Locust flour was used to make corn tortillas to analyze the water retention and physical properties of the tortillas. Protein content was 72.4%, and protein extract yielded 4.77 ± 0.095 mg per gram of dry weight. Trypsin provided the strongest protein digestion at 1 and 3 hours, compared to pepsin. Regarding peptide scavenging ability of free radicals, digestion with trypsin allowed detection of 0.068 and 0.055 mM TE/mg of protein, at digestive times of 1 and 3 hours, respectively. Overall, results were not statistically different. Corn tortillas displayed changes in color and consistency related to quantity of locust flour. When more locust flour was used, more water was lost during the cooking process. The research documents the potential of Central American locust as a protein source and brings the possibility of using this undervalued natural resource. Nutritional content of the CAL were compared to that of other edible insects. Resumen. La langosta Centroamericana (LCA), Schistocerca piceifrons piceifrons (Walker) (Acrididae: Cyrtacanthacridinae), es una plaga agrícola dañina desde México hasta Costa Rica. Este estudio evaluó el contenido nutricional de la langosta. Se analizó la digestibilidad enzimática de las proteínas hidrosolubles y las capacidades antioxidantes de los péptidos derivados. Se utilizó harina de langosta para elaborar tortillas de maíz para analizar la retención de agua y las propiedades físicas de las tortillas. El contenido de proteína fue de 72,4% y el extracto de proteína produjo 4,77 ± 0,095 mg por gramo de peso seco. La tripsina proporcionó la digestión de proteínas más fuerte a 1 y 3 horas, en comparación con la pepsina. En cuanto a la habilidad captadora de péptidos de los radicales libres, la digestión con tripsina permitió detectar 0,068 y 0,055 mM TE/mg de proteína, con tiempos digestivos de 1 y 3 horas, respectivamente. En general, estos resultados no mostraron diferencias estadísticas. Las tortillas de maíz presentaron cambios en color y consistencia en relación con la cantidad de harina de langosta. Cuando se utiliza más harina de langosta, se pierde más agua durante el proceso de cocción. Esta investigación documenta el potencial de la LCA como fuente de proteína y plantea la posibilidad de aprovechar este recurso natural subvaluado. El contenido nutricional de la LCA se comparó con el de otros insectos comestibles.","PeriodicalId":21930,"journal":{"name":"Southwestern Entomologist","volume":"1 1","pages":"353 - 366"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88565940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
