In this study, we reared newly emerged adult insects of P. stali under different temperature conditions for 8 days and monitored how their symbiotic organs and symbiotic bacteria are affected. While all insects survived at temperatures from 25 to 37 °C, some insects died at 38 °C, 39 °C, and 40 °C, wherein mortality rates increased as temperature elevated. While the symbiotic organs of the normal insects exhibited vivid yellow color, the symbiotic organs of the insects reared at 35 °C or higher frequently exhibited abnormal colors, such as pale yellow, yellowish white, or white, the extent of which became more severe as temperature elevated. Symbiont quantification revealed that, while the symbiont titers were almost constant for 8 days at 25 °C and 30 °C, the symbiont titers on the 8th day drastically declined to 1/100 at 35 °C and 1/10000 at 37 °C and 39 °C.

You Only Look Once (YOLO) algorithm is one of the most effective deep learning techniques for object detection. Although several studies have been conducted using deep learning technology for the detection and counting of tiny pests, the type of light source and size of the images were the limiting factors, as training was highly focused on uniform datasets and small insects. One way to overcome this problem is to introduce many types of datasets obtained from various light sources and microscopic magnifications. This strategy minimizes errors and omissions in aphid detection across all developmental stages in aphid individuals to the greatest extent possible. The experimental results showed that our modified YOLOv8 model could obtain over 95.9% and 99% accuracy for mean average precision (mAP) and recall, respectively, under various light sources, such as yellow, white, and natural light, and stereomicroscope magnifications.

Consequently, we conducted a study investing the impact of intercropping wheat or barley with additional flower strips on controlling aphid pests in white cabbage fields in Japan and Germany.Query Our results in Japan supported the natural enemies hypothesis, leading to a significant reduction in populations of two pest aphids: the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), and the cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae (L.) (Hemiptera: Aphididae). Furthermore, intercropping and/or flower strips increased the proportions of natural enemies, including hoverfly larvae (Diptera: Syrphidae), ladybirds (Coccinellidae: Coleoptera), and parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), relative to the aphids. Hoverfly larvae, due to their high abundance, appeared to be Japan’s most effective aphid suppressors. In contrast, in Germany, intercropping and flower strips did not remarkably suppress aphid populations or enhance the presence of the natural enemies, despite a temporary increase in the population density of hoverfly larvae in intercropping. These disparities between the trials in the two countries may be attributed to variations in regional and local biodiversity.

Each insertion lasts for about 40 s. After that, the male begins a long-time insemination, which lasts for two to three minutes. Then, the male withdraws the endophallus and the female reproductive tract secretes a sperm mass. After insemination, some males continue to mount the female for a postcopulatory guarding period, which can last from one to five hours. During copulation, barbs on the surface of the everted male endophallus directly contact the female reproductive tract.
