In this laboratory study using a predatory mite, Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot, we investigated the influence of parental diet restriction on offspring life history traits. We found that parental mites exposed to food reductions of 50% (Low diet) during both immature development and adult stages produced F1 offspring with reduced survival rates and fecundity compared to those from parents on abundant (High) diets. Sexually dimorphic responses emerged in response to parental diet restriction, whereby a reduced diet led to extended developmental periods for both male and female offspring while simultaneously reducing male size at maturity and increasing female size at maturity. We also found that diet restriction experienced by F0 individuals at both immature and adult stages manifested as reduced egg volumes and a less female-biased sex ratio in the F1’s offspring (i.e. the F2). There were additional significant interactions between the dietary history of parents and the dietary experiences of P. persimilis offspring themselves on various traits, including post-oviposition period, fecundity, and individual egg volume. These findings suggest that the dietary experiences of parents can modulate their offspring’s response when facing diet restriction. This study provided insights into non-genetic inheritance and transgenerational plasticity, highlighting the intricate interplay between environmental stressors and phenotypic responses.","PeriodicalId":51306,"journal":{"name":"Systematic and Applied Acarology","volume":"4 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139445180","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 susceptible (GSS) population of T. urticae, was selected with S+A and made resistant with increasing doses of the mixture formulation. The resistant population was divided into two, and selection pressure was terminated in one population which is named IR (Interrupt resistant). In the other population, the selection with S+A was continued and the population named IR2. Activities of some detoxification enzymes (esterase, glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and cytochrome P450) were investigated in the GSS and IR populations. The activity of esterase, GST and P450 enzymes were increased by 1.77, 2.57 and 2.58-fold, respectively, in the IR population compared to the GSS population. Also, investigation of synergistic effects with esterase inhibitor (TTP), GST inhibitor (DEM) and P450 inhibitor (PBO) in this population revealed that all three synergists showed significant synergistic effects in IR population. In molecular studies, when the population was screened for the presence of two previously identified glutamate channel mutations (G314D and G326E) by qPCR with TaqMan probes no mutations could be detected in glutamate channels. and the CTD domain of acetyl coenzyme-A carboxylase (ACCase). Furthermore, possible genetic mutations in the biotin carboxylase domain (BCD) and carboxyl transferase domain (CTD) of the ACCase target sites were determined by sequencing. Although a single amino acid mutation G37D in the BCD of the ACCase gene of the IR and IR2 populations was detected, its association with spiromesifen resistance was not confirmed. The results indicated that increased detoxification and possible target site mutation may be responsible for the S+A resistance in the IR and IR2 populations.","PeriodicalId":51306,"journal":{"name":"Systematic and Applied Acarology","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139446460","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}

Notably, the species Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) intercalaris Livshitz & Kuznetsov is reported for the first time in Syria, and redescribed based on adult specimens collected from Quercus cerris L. and Quercus infectoria G. Olivier (Fagaceae) trees in Latakia governorate. The examined specimens of this species demonstrated variation in the presence or absence of preanal pores: (1) absent on both sides; (2) present on both sides; (3) present on the left side; and (4) present on the right side. This species was considered a junior synonym of T. (A.) invectus Chant in an earlier study without examination of their type materials. We tried to find the holotype T. (A.) invectus without success. However, according to their original description, T. (A.) intercalaris is distinguishable from T. (A.) invectus by having two pairs of setae on the sternal shield, as opposed to three pairs in the latter species. Therefore, the reason for the redescription provided here is to improve diagnosis and minimize any confusion regarding the species status of the Syrian specimens. This discovery holds significant implications for understanding the biodiversity of phytoseiids in the country.","PeriodicalId":51306,"journal":{"name":"Systematic and Applied Acarology","volume":"61 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139381621","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 mt genome is a circular molecule of 15,437 bp (GenBank number: OR643715), and a total of 37 genes were identified. The first codon in all 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) is ATN. With the exception of the stop codon of ND3, which was TAG and the incomplete codon of ATP8, the stop codon of the remaining 11 PCGs was TAA. All tRNAs had typical cloverleaf secondary structures, with the exception of trnS1 (AGN). A strong AT nucleotide bias (81.75%) and positive skew in both AT (0.026) and GC (0.252) were observed across the whole mt genome of C. hrdyi. Positive AT skew and GC skew were detected in all genes but the two rRNA genes.
