As the dominant natural enemy of O. robiniae in both its native and introduced regions, P. robiniae plays a notable role in the biocontrol of the invasive pest. Understanding the population genetic structure and historical dynamics of P. robiniae is important for gaining valuable insights into the interactions between the parasitoid and invasive species of O. robiniae. However, these aspects remain poorly understood. In this study, we analyzed the genetic variation and historical dynamics of 22 P. robiniae populations across China using mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene sequences. Our results revealed a high level of genetic diversity and significant genetic differentiation. P. robiniae populations represented relatively abundant haplotypes (59 haplotypes) and phylogenic relationships showed that all populations clustered into 2 clades. Demographic analyses suggested that P. robiniae populations in China have undergone a recent population expansion. These findings provided valuable genetic insights into P. robiniae and contributed to a better understanding of the evolutionary dynamics of an endoparasitoid associated with an invasive gall midge in newly colonized regions.","PeriodicalId":94077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic entomology","volume":" ","pages":"1061-1071"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143674948","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}

Pathogens have been identified as a major contributor to the decline of some bee species, making understanding host-pathogen dynamics a crucial area of research. Sunflower pollen (Helianthus annuus L.; Asterales: Asteraceae) dramatically and consistently reduces infection by a prevalent gut pathogen, Crithidia bombi Lipa & Triggiani 1988 (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae), in the common eastern bumble bee (Bombus impatiens Cresson 1863; Hymenoptera: Apidae), when consumed by bees post-infection, but we do not know if sunflower can confer protection when consumed before exposure. We asked whether feeding bumble bees sunflower pollen diets prior to pathogen exposure decreases Crithidia infection compared to buckwheat pollen (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench; Polygonales: Polygonaceae). Buckwheat pollen was used as a comparison since it has a similar protein concentration as sunflower pollen, but results in higher Crithidia counts more comparable to typical wildflower pollen when consumed post-infection. Bumble bees were fed sunflower or buckwheat pollen for 7 d, inoculated with Crithidia, and then fed a wildflower pollen control diet for seven more days before assessing infection. We found that consuming a sunflower pollen diet before inoculation did not reduce Crithidia cell counts compared to buckwheat pollen. Furthermore, bumble bee survival and consumption of sucrose solution and pollen did not differ between these diets. The results show no evidence of sunflower pollen providing prophylactic resistance against Crithidia bombi infection, indicating that the timing at which sunflower pollen is consumed relative to exposure has important consequences for infection.","PeriodicalId":94077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic entomology","volume":" ","pages":"1431-1435"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143775250","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}

Results showed some disadvantages of fully trapped and supported the core-and-perimeter concept, but grids were too small to address all questions. Here we used computer models to more fully compare the designs. We employed random walk dispersal using parameters from recent results for another Dipteran. Parameter sensitivity was highest for maximum step distance (DDay), but structural sensitivity was more affected by dispersal probability (PDisp) and correlated movement (θMax). We incorporated trapping, modeling capture probabilities based on the hyperbolic secant function. We quantified the likelihood of inner traps to \"intercept\" insects along their paths and implemented that process in all trapping models. Validation against 3 independent datasets was successful using PDisp of 0.4 or 0.3, and θMax = 180°, based on dispersal densities and proportion of flies captured. Under the validated dispersal model, Medflies never traveled more than 2.8 km in 30 d. A trapping version gave zero perimeter captures with the core-and-perimeter design, but core area captures in 40% of iterations for single flies. The fully trapped grid captured flies in 79% of iterations but only 12% of traps had captures, indicating suboptimal efficiency. Finally, we compared fully trapped and core-and-perimeter trapping costs using published plans for Medfly and four other species. The costs of the core-and-perimeter designs were 49% to 77% lower at standard sizes but 69% to 88% lower with optimal (shorter) radii.","PeriodicalId":94077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic entomology","volume":" ","pages":"1235-1250"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144056742","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}

To adopt the approaching EU Green Deal, growers are required to seek alternative pest management strategies. The predatory mite, Anystis baccarum (L.), which was recently discovered in raspberry, could be a promising candidate. However, the biology and predation capacity of this species in raspberry are unknown. This study aimed to investigate the functional response of A. baccarum to two common raspberry pests, Aphis idaei van der Goot and Neotetranychus rubi Trägårdh. In controlled laboratory conditions, six densities of A. idaei nymphs (2, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 24) and adult N. rubi females (2, 4, 8, 16, 24, and 32) were introduced in separate functional response experiments. Furthermore, the prey preference of A. baccarum on the two species was investigated when 5 A. idaei nymphs and adult N. rubi females were offered simultaneously to the predator. Anystis baccarum exhibited type II functional response to both prey, with capture rate for A. idaei higher than N. rubi. In addition, A. idaei was more likely to be consumed by A. baccarum than N. rubi. While promising as a biocontrol agent, the searching behavior, cannibalistic nature, and long generation time of A. baccarum suggest that it should not be relied upon solely for pest management in raspberry. Further studies on synergistic interactions with other biocontrol agents are recommended.","PeriodicalId":94077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic entomology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144287665","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}

Previous cost-benefit analyses of EAB management options, including insecticidal injections, preemptive removals, and replanting, have examined early-stage infestations. This study tests options for late-stage EAB management based on ecological and economic objectives. We parameterized management decisions to evaluate tree counts, basal area, and urban forest value under 7 management options, varying if and when ash trees were injected, removed, and replanted with non-ash species. The simulation is applied to the remaining ash population in Mississauga, Ontario where tree coring and annual assessments determined that injected trees have reduced growth rates and are declining in condition. The results demonstrate that injections help preserve the ash population, maximize basal area, minimize spikes in annual costs, and reduce cumulative costs earlier in the 20-yr study period. However, long-term cost reduction is achieved through ceasing injections and removing ash as they die from EAB. Maintaining tree counts and maximizing net value is achieved through proactive replanting and winding down basal injections, coupled with a slow rate of removal, ultimately bringing the SLow Ash Mortality approach to a close.","PeriodicalId":94077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic entomology","volume":" ","pages":"1307-1319"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12167853/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143784666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fungus-growing termites consume a wide range of materials, including leaf litter, woody debris, agricultural crops, and wooden structures, including houses. Their presence in termite baiting stations can impede the control of other residential termite pests, such as Coptotermes spp. Current control practices for managing fungus-growing termites are both costly and time-consuming, rendering them impractical for large-scale application. In our review, we analyzed recent biological and control studies on fungus-growing termites to identify key challenges and suggest improvements in termite management strategies. We identified 5 primary factors contributing to the low efficacy of current control measures for fungus-growing termites: (i) sporadic foraging behavior, which diminishes consistent bait intake; (ii) naturally small colony sizes; (iii) the nonmolting nature of the worker caste, reducing the effectiveness of chitin synthesis inhibitors; (iv) fungal cultivation, which delays and mitigates pesticide toxicity; and (v) wide-range of feeding niche, which lessens their consumption of cellulose-based baits. These insights are critical for developing more effective termite control strategies.","PeriodicalId":94077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic entomology","volume":" ","pages":"1014-1022"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142690007","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}

Does N. bicaudus feeding on both prey species in mixed field populations experience enhanced population growth or remain unaffected by prey type? This study used the age-stage 2-sex life table theory to examine the developmental and reproductive characteristics of N. bicaudus fed the 2 prey (T. truncatus: T. turkestani at 1:20, 1:10, and 1:5 ratios) and a single prey diet (T. turkestani is a dominant species for crops such as cotton in Northern Xinjiang). The results showed that, compared to a single prey diet (where the preadult stage duration 5.367 d, intrinsic rate of increase (r) = 0.198 d-1, finite rate of increase (λ) = 1.219 d-1, and mean generation time (T) = 12.81 d), the mixed prey diet significantly shortened the preadult stage, increased fecundity, and enhanced the values of r and λ, while shortening T. The population had the highest intrinsic rate of increase at a ratio of 1:5 (preadult stage = 4.906 d, r = 0.245 d-1, λ = 1.277 d-1, and T = 11.58 d). Compared to single-prey feeding, mixed prey ratios of 1:20, 1:10, and 1:5 increased population growth by 1.39, 2.72, and 6.59 times, respectively.
