Their favourable toxicological and environmental profiles have led to broad registration across multiple pest species and crop types. However, widespread use is known to compromise insecticidal efficacy due to resistance, and concerns have been raised about the sustainability of these insecticides in Australian agriculture, particularly since the incursion of <i>Spodoptera frugiperda</i> in 2020. As a first step in pre-emptive management of <i>S. frugiperda</i>, baseline susceptibility to cyantraniliprole was determined in larval bioassays performed on 16 field populations collected from maize and sweet corn between 2020 and 2021 during the initial period of establishment in Australia. There was a narrow (2.1-fold) range of intra-specific variation in cyantraniliprole susceptibility amongst field populations. The average median lethal concentration was 0.088 mg L<sup>−1</sup>, which was significantly higher than in <i>Helicoverpa armigera</i> (LC<sub>50</sub> = 0.037 mg L<sup>−1</sup>). An analysis of relative diamide toxicity showed that while the median concentration of chlorantraniliprole was significantly higher than cyantraniliprole in <i>S. frugiperda</i>, there was no significant difference between the toxicity of chlorantraniliprole and cyantraniliprole at the LC<sub>99.9</sub> level. Using the dose–response data generated from these bioassays and taking into account empirical survival, a concentration of 2 mg L<sup>−1</sup> of cyantraniliprole was determined to be a suitable dose for discriminating between cyantraniliprole-susceptible and cyantraniliprole-insensitive phenotypes of <i>S. frugiperda</i>.</p>","PeriodicalId":8574,"journal":{"name":"Austral Entomology","volume":"64 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145224375","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}

This study investigated the necrophagous insect communities associated with carrion of silver gulls (<i>Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae</i>) on a small nearshore island off the east coast of Australia, to assess how necrophagous insect communities on islands compare with the mainland community, and the degree to which these communities varied over time. Over three breeding seasons, we analysed what insect species were colonising gull carcasses and, using baited traps, compared total adult community composition and richness of carrion-associated insect species on the island with the adjacent mainland. Our findings reveal that an island separated by less than 500 m from the mainland can harbour distinct carrion-breeding fly assemblages. These assemblages vary between years but are notably dominated by a potential seabird-carrion specialist fly—the littoral species <i>Calliphora maritima</i>.

Since its incursion into Australia, management has largely relied on the use of different synthetic insecticides. Given pesticide resistance genes and reduced sensitivities to a variety of pesticides are already present in the population, there is a need to investigate alternative management approaches that can be incorporated into an IPM programme such as biological control. A fundamental step in establishing the potential of biological control is identifying the potential natural enemies that may be deployed in pest management. In this study, we undertook a series of surveys to identify potential parasitoids for fall armyworm and assessed parasitism rates in Western Australia (WA) and the Northern Territory (NT). Approximately, 1900 larvae of fall armyworm were sourced from maize, sweet corn, okra and sorghum fields, reared and observed for the emergence of parasitoids. Ten species of larval parasitoids from five families were recorded during the surveys with <i>Cotesia ruficrus</i> (Haliday) (56.14%) and <i>Exorista xanthaspis</i> (Wiedemann) (50%) being the most abundant larval species in WA and NT, respectively. Other parasitoids found include four recently described species, <i>Euplectrus frugiperdata</i> Fagan-Jeffries, <i>Chelonus trojanus</i> Fagan-Jeffries, <i>Coccygidium necatrix</i> Atkin-Zaldivar &amp; Fagan-Jeffries, <i>Coccygidium mellosiheroine</i> Atkin-Zaldivar &amp; Fagan-Jeffries, and previously named species, <i>Megaselia scalaris</i> (Loew) and some unidentified Tachinidae. Two species of egg parasitoids, <i>Trichogramma pretiosum</i> (Riley) and <i>Telenomus remus</i> (Nixon), were recovered with field parasitism rates of 7.81% and 10.16%, respectively. Overall, the occurrence of potential egg and larval parasitoids in Australian horticulture systems provides a unique platform to develop a conservation or augmentative biological control approach to manage fall armyworm in Australia.</p>","PeriodicalId":8574,"journal":{"name":"Austral Entomology","volume":"64 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144537094","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}
