To investigate the mechanism of action of a commercial soybean oil formulation, we evaluated its physical and toxicological effects on three arthropod species across several developmental stages: adults and nymphs of Uroleucon sonchi (L.) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), adults and eggs of Tetranychus urticae Koch (Trombidiformes: Tetranychidae), and larvae and eggs of Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae). Adults, immature stages, and eggs were either topically treated or immersed in 2% soybean oil, and mortality was assessed alongside morphological and ultrastructural analyses using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Bright-field microscopy, Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM), Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Immersion caused immediate mortality in U. sonchi and T. urticae, linked to oil penetration through spiracles and tracheal flooding, confirmed by fluorescent oil markers and bright-field, SIM, and CLSM imaging. In contrast, P. xylostella larvae exhibited partial and delayed mortality, likely due to spiracular morphology. Egg susceptibility varied by species and age. Egg hatch was completely inhibited in T. urticae, whereas only recently laid P. xylostella eggs were fully susceptible. SEM revealed extensive oil coverage and obstruction of respiratory structures, although TEM showed no damage to the cuticle. These findings indicate that soybean oil induces mortality by physically obstructing gas exchange structures rather than through chemical toxicity or cuticular disruption, and that spiracle architecture may modulate susceptibility. The implications for pest management programs are briefly discussed.</p>","PeriodicalId":94077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic entomology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147847986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three bioassays were conducted: continuous exposure to dry residues, direct spray application, and flushing. The direct spray assay yielded the fastest kill, with a median survival time (MST) of 1 min when strain S was exposed to Essentria at the high label rate, likely due to rapid dermal and spiracular uptake. In contrast, the continuous exposure assay produced slower mortality, with the longest MST (23.5 h) observed in strain D with the same Essentria treatment, indicating slower uptake from dry residues. Among all formulations, ExciteR exhibited the fastest action in continuous exposure, while EcoVia and Garscentria showed limited residual activity. Strain-dependent differences were evident, with resistant strains showing greater survivorship in both continuous exposure and direct spray assays. In flushing assays, Essentria and EcoVia achieved the highest flushing activity (up to 45% and 35%, respectively, at 1,000 µg/µl), defined as the proportion of cockroaches leaving the harborage within 10 min. Other formulations, including ExciteR and ER-22, showed low flushing action. Overall, botanical and essential oil formulations were most effective when applied directly for immediate kill.

By evaluating the interpolated map of Wisconsin with the site scoring metric, the value of hypothetical additional survey locations can be assessed.

South Florida's warm climate and diverse cropping systems, particularly legume crops such as snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and lablab (Lablab purpureus), provide favorable environment for thrips infestations. Three thrips species, Megalurothrips usitatus (Bagnall), Thrips palmi Karny, and Frankliniella insularis (Franklin) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), are prevalent in the region, with M. usitatus being an invasive pest that poses a significant threat to leguminous crops. Accurate species identification is critical for effective integrated pest management strategies. However, morphological identification is challenging due to the small size, subtle diagnostic traits, and high phenotypic similarity among thrips species, particularly in immature stages. This study aimed to develop a rapid, reliable molecular identification tool for these thrips species using high-resolution melting (HRM) analysis, a post-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique that differentiates DNA sequences based on their unique melting profiles. HRM analysis enables species-specific identification by detecting genetic variations and single nucleotide polymorphisms in PCR amplicons. We optimized and validated an HRM-based assay for the precise identification of M. usitatus, T. palmi, and F. insularis using both adult and larval stages collected from leguminous crops in South Florida. The assay demonstrated high specificity, sensitivity, and reproducibility, providing a robust molecular diagnostic tool for species identification.

E. Smith, 1797) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is a major lepidopteran pest that has rapidly expanded across the Eastern Hemisphere, raising concerns about declining susceptibility to common insecticides. This study primarily evaluated larval susceptibility and tolerance patterns to emamectin benzoate, chlorantraniliprole, and lambda-cyhalothrin using time- and dose-response bioassays on second- and fourth-instar larvae from the Thai population. Emamectin benzoate induced delayed mortality, chlorantraniliprole caused rapid mortality even at low doses, and lambda-cyhalothrin produced acute knockdown effects, particularly in second instars. Although overall mortality was high, delayed death and partial survival at field-equivalent doses, especially among fourth instars, revealed instar-dependent tolerance heterogeneity. To provide population genetic context, mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) and nuclear triosephosphate isomerase (Tpi) haplotypes were analyzed in bioassay-tested and field-collected individuals. Extremely low maternal diversity was observed, with all specimens carrying the corn-strain mitochondrial haplotype COICSh4. In contrast, the nuclear Tpi locus showed higher diversity, comprising five haplotypes (TpiCa1a, TpiCa1b, TpiCa2a, TpiCa2b, and TpiRa1a) shared with other Asian and African populations. Notably, individuals surviving lambda-cyhalothrin exposure were disproportionately associated with the TpiCa2a haplotype. Although these genes are not resistance genes, these nonrandom associations suggested that the population genetics background may contribute to heterogeneity in insecticide tolerance. Together, these results highlighted the value of bioassays as a primary tool for detecting early shifts in susceptibility, with population genetic markers providing complementary insight into demographic structure and tolerance-associated patterns. Integrating phenotypic assays with genetic surveillance can strengthen early-stage resistance monitoring and inform insecticide-rotation and integrated pest management strategies for S. frugiperda and other invasive agricultural pests.</p>","PeriodicalId":94077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic entomology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147848014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
