Identification of bee food sources can be carried out directly by observing their visits to flowers, or indirectly by analyzing the pollen they carry. Pollen analysis is employed to determine the breadth of the bees’ dietary niche and understand the relationship between flower traits, pollen grains, and floral resources. While <i>Exomalopsis</i> females were previously recorded as pollinators of Solanaceae species, information regarding their trophic niche in agricultural areas remains limited but is essential for the management of these wild pollinators. In this study we accessed the floral resources used by two <i>Exomalopsis</i> species (<i>E. analis</i> and <i>E. auropilosa</i>) through pollen analysis in their scopae, using cultivated <i>Capsicum</i> cultivars (Solanaceae) as target plants. Pollen samples from 56 <i>Exomalopsis</i> females (21 from <i>E. analis</i> and 35 from <i>E. auropilosa</i>) revealed 58 pollen types belonging to 24 botanical families, with the highest values found for Fabaceae, Asteraceae, Euphorbiaceae, and Rubiaceae. <i>E. auropilosa</i> showed greater pollen type richness (46) with 3–10 types per bee, while <i>E. analis</i> had 43 types with 3–13 types per individual. <i>Capsicum</i>, a pollen, and nectar source constituted approximately 77% of the pollen loads. Most of other plant species identified were arboreal and provided nectar to these pollinators. Trophic niche overlap between <i>Exomalopsis</i> species was low.

To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying insect response to plant resistance factors, a comparative midgut transcriptome of <i>Spodoptera litura</i> fed on maize and control plants was investigated, which identified a total of 712 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), including 232 up-regulating and 480 down-regulating genes. Gene ontology, gene enrichment and pathway analysis revealed that upregulated genes are involved in carbohydrate metabolism, detoxification, defence, lipid metabolism, digestion, and signal transduction. In contrast, down-regulated genes were primarily linked to cytoskeleton, transport, signalling, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, growth and developmental processes. The above results indicate an antinutritional stress on <i>S. litura</i>, which leads to a compensatory mechanism in the insect by enhanced digestibility and detoxification at the cost of growth and development.

Similarities in plant species composition by the Sørensen index were pronounced between the Central-European and the Mediterranean, between the Transcaucasian and Mediterranean, and between the Colchis-Caucasian and the Pontic-Caspian areas. The most species-rich genus is <i>Astragalus</i> L. with 334 species and 16 subspecies. Of the two major pre-dispersal seed predator genera, <i>Bruchidius</i> Schilsky species are sensu lato oligophagous, using a wide range of leguminous tribes as hosts, but restricted to few host species within a tribe. In contrast, members of the <i>Bruchus</i> L. genus are sensu stricto oligophagous species and, despite being constrained to the Fabeae tribe, most of them feed on several <i>Lathyrus</i> L. and <i>Vicia</i> L. species. The ways annual and perennial life cycles as well as chemical constituents of legumes might affect the colonization success of the seed beetles are discussed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8409,"journal":{"name":"Arthropod-Plant Interactions","volume":"18 3","pages":"579 - 598"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11829-024-10041-0.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142409733","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}
