Regarding the mosquito fauna, 194 species have been recorded for Misiones province so far. It is known that many of them are vectors of pathogens and parasites that cause human and animal diseases. The objective of this work is to understand the mosquito community in order to consider their importance in pathogens and parasites transmission and compare different capturing techniques for mosquito diversity. Larvae, pupae and adults were collected. Comparing the number of species and individuals captured as adult with different methodologies, Net /insect hand aspirator was the most effective methodology capturing diversity of species while CDC light trap captured significantly higher number of individuals. We confirmed the presence of 30 mosquito species belonging to nine genera, of which 12 are suspected of being involved in pathogen transmission. Among them, Sabethes (Sabethes) albiprivus Theobald, the only mosquito from which the Yellow fever virus has been isolated in Argentina. Additionally, we recorded Culex (Culex) lahillei Bachmann & Casal for the first time in Misiones province, and Aedes (Protomacleaya) terrens (Walker) and Culex (Melanoconion) ribeirensis Forattini & Sallum are new citations for Capital Department, Misiones.","PeriodicalId":54250,"journal":{"name":"Revista De La Sociedad Entomologica Argentina","volume":"29 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136367900","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}

Therefore, the maintenance of D. suzukii in the lab conditions constitutes a fundamental tool for research proposal. Two of the determining factors affecting the lab rearing conditions are the culture medium and density. In this study, we evaluated the impact of these factors on three components associated with fitness: development time, larval-adult viability and body size, comparing the effects of three culture media: cornmeal (polenta), mashed potato and plum when the flies were reared at three densities: 10, 30 and 50 larvae per 5ml of culture medium. Our results revealed that the flies reared the cornmeal culture medium and at lower densities provide the better conditions for the maintenance of D. suzukii under lab conditions.","PeriodicalId":54250,"journal":{"name":"Revista De La Sociedad Entomologica Argentina","volume":"308 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135897637","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}

Several crops depend on entomophilous pollination. However, wild and managed pollinators are threatened by conventional agricultural management practices. In this work, we evaluate the economic value attributed to entomophilous pollination (EEV) of the main crops between 2013 and 2018. Our study focused on analyses of crops with varying degrees of pollinator dependence in terms, their harvested area, yield and total economic value (EV). The EEV attributed to pollinators and the vulnerability of each crop category were estimated. The EEV attributed exclusively to entomophilous pollination, in the 27 crops analyzed, was US$ 4.437 million, representing a contribution of the pollinators of 21,83% of the EV and 13,8 million tons of agricultural products. The EEV in decreasing order is industrial crops, fruit trees, vegetables, nuts and citrus. In industrial crops, where managed pollinators are not used, the contribution of pollinators was high, reaching US$3.655 million. Fruit trees and vegetables are the most vulnerable to an eventual decrease or absence of pollinators with estimated vulnerability rates of 68 and 38% respectively. These results show the economic contribution of the pollinators to the country's agriculture, the high vulnerability of agroecosystems and the effects in quantitative terms of a potential reduction in food production due to a pollination deficit. Finally, this work may be useful to guide decision-making and establish public policies aimed at promoting diversification and sustainability of agricultural models to guarantee food security.","PeriodicalId":54250,"journal":{"name":"Revista De La Sociedad Entomologica Argentina","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45462921","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}
