In the context of pest management, compensation is a density-dependent response that allows populations to offset control-related mortality, often via increased survival or reinvasion. Additive mortality, in contrast, accrues when a population's compensatory capacity is insufficient to offset losses, resulting in a net reduction in population size or growth rate. These concepts are rarely considered in forest insect pest management, which tends to emphasise short-term plant protection over long-term population control. We used published life table data for a major native forest insect defoliator, the spruce budworm (<i>Choristoneura fumiferana</i> [Lepidoptera: Tortricidae]) to simulate the amount of additive mortality required to suppress an outbreak. Simulations also assessed how the failure to account for different compensatory responses could hinder successful control. Our results suggest that only relatively modest amounts of additive mortality (perhaps as low as approximately 8%–18%) may be needed to stop spruce budworm from outbreaking, with immigration being the strongest potential compensatory hindrance to outbreak suppression. Many of the compensatory responses that thwarted outbreak suppression in the past (e.g., low detection efficiency, immigration, indiscriminate killing of predators and parasitoids) have contemporary solutions that could increase additive mortality and thereby enhance the feasibility of population control strategies for native forest insect pests. Our results suggest that some native forest insect pests may require relatively little additive mortality to suppress outbreaks if compensation-limiting strategies are used. Incorporating theoretical and strategic frameworks used in vertebrate population management could advance the development of native insect population control programmes.</p>","PeriodicalId":7977,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Applied Biology","volume":"187 1","pages":"111-120"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/aab.70003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144492799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Identifying insect-resistant rice genotypes and their resistance mechanisms is crucial for successful pest management. New sources of resistance providing long-lasting protection against leaf folder can be identified by studying the morphobiochemical characteristics of different rice genotypes. This study explored the role of various morphological traits of certain genotypes that confer resistance. Different biochemical constituents such as soluble protein, phenol, total soluble sugar and enzymes, namely peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase and catalase were assessed spectrophotometrically in all infested and uninfested genotypes and in standard resistant (TKM6) and susceptible (TN1) check genotypes. Leaf folder damage was negatively correlated with plant height and leaf length, while leaf width association was positively correlated. Among the different plant metabolites analysed, total soluble sugar and soluble protein showed positive correlation with leaf folder damage, conversely phenol and antioxidative enzymes showed negative correlation. When rice genotypes were exposed to leaf folder larval feeding, they exhibited defence responses characterized by reduction in the level of sugars and proteins, accumulation of phenolic compounds and upregulation of antioxidative enzymes. This study emphasized the significance of morphobiochemical characteristics in rice resistance mechanisms against leaf folder.

Despite variability often resulting from various stress conditions, the growth rate is predictable for given ages of nestlings, as highlighted here. This study investigates the growth dynamics of Bonelli's Eagle (<i>Aquila fasciata</i>) nestlings in the Republic of Cyprus, focusing on 13 biometric variables measured over time. We employed logistic and generalized additive models to analyse growth trajectories and identify predictors of age. Our findings highlight that nestlings achieve maximum growth rates in body mass and tarsus length early in development, followed by primary feathers and wing length. Conversely, head width, beak dimensions, and talon length exhibit slower and more gradual growth. Precisely describing the rate and pattern of growth of individual body components enabled us to develop a tool for predicting age. We found that wing, tarsus, and middle talon lengths are the most reliable predictors of nestling age. The effectiveness test of our predictive model conducted on an independent data set showed that the age estimation error is 1 day.

The characteristics of biochar strongly depend on the chemical composition of the feedstock utilised in its production. Consequently, even within the same agroecosystem, different types of biochar may produce varying effects on soil chemistry and biology. In a greenhouse experiment, we assessed the impact of poultry manure and peanut shell biochars on soil chemical properties and their effects on microbial community structure, abundance, diversity and functions analysed through biochemical and molecular approaches. Thus, a two-factor experimental design was established, considering biochar type (poultry manure and peanut shell biochars) and rate (0%, 1%, and 3% w/w). Our findings highlighted that the intrinsic properties of biochar significantly influenced its ability to induce changes in the analysed variables. Poultry manure biochar exhibited greater efficacy in increasing soil pH and EC, simultaneously enhancing fungal and total biomasses. Meanwhile, peanut shell biochar increased N content and decreased C/N, slightly impacting fungal and total biomasses. The effects of biochars on FAMEs and chemical variables were dose-dependent; the higher the application rate, the greater the observed effect. Interestingly, different biochar types affected distinct bacterial taxa abundances. Among the dominant Phyla, while poultry manure biochar increased the relative abundance of Chloroflexi and decreased that of Proteobacteria, peanut shell biochar increased Acidobacteria and reduced Firmicutes phyla. The biochar rate did not affect bacterial abundance. Notably, only peanut shell biochar increased bacterial richness. Poultry manure biochar positively impacted functions related to metabolism, whereas the effect of peanut shell biochar was less evident. Our study revealed that the intrinsic characteristics of biochar significantly modulate the structure and functionality of the soil microbial community.
