The green peach aphid (GPA) Myzus persicae (Sulzer) broadly colonizes plants with diverse nutritional and defensive traits. However, how GPA adapts to nutritional and defensive traits within different plants remains largely unknown. To elucidate this, we first investigated the performances and transcriptomes of GPA feeding on cabbage Brassica oleracea and pepper Capsicum annuum. The green peach aphid had lower weight and fecundity when feeding on cabbage than on pepper. The transcriptomic analysis found 824 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), and 13 of the top 20 Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways are related to nutrient metabolism, energy metabolism, and detoxification. Specifically, we found 160 DEGs associated with the metabolism of protein and amino acids, sugar and lipids, and xenobiotic substances, 86 upregulated in cabbage-fed GPA. Fourteen cathepsin B genes were strongly upregulated in cabbage-fed GPA, and were enriched in lysosome pathway and 2 dominated gene ontology terms peptidase activity and proteolysis. In addition, cabbage-fed GPA upregulated sugar and lipid digestion, while downregulated lipid biosynthesis processes. Furthermore, 55 metabolic detoxification enzyme genes were differentially expressed between GPA on 2 hosts, and detoxification enzyme activities of GPA indeed changed accordingly to the host. Then, we found that cabbage has lower amino acids nutrition quality for GPA compared to pepper. Our results suggested that adjustment of nitrogen nutrient metabolism, sugar and lipid metabolism, and metabolic detoxification in a host-specific manner play crucial roles in the adaptations of GPA to different host plants.","PeriodicalId":94077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic entomology","volume":" ","pages":"416-429"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142515382","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}

However, a paucity of data on this biocontrol agent's environmental constraints has made it difficult to assess the suitability of potential release locations. Climate matching models were developed for C. basicorne to help identify areas of the western United States with similar climates to the source area of breeding colonies being used for releases (home location). The models used climate variables derived from daily estimates of minimum temperature, maximum temperature, precipitation, and soil moisture for a 30-yr period spanning 1991-2020 at 1 km2 resolution. Of the areas where C. solstitialis is known to occur, the Central California Foothills, Eastern Cascades Foothills, Columbia Plateau, and mountainous parts of northcentral Utah had the most similar climates to the home location. Of these areas, the Eastern Cascades foothills in northeastern California and Wasatch Range in Utah occurred at a similar latitude as the home location, which may be important to consider if C. basicorne has photoperiodic diapause. The least similar climates occurred in wet coastal regions, high-elevation (cold) mountains, and hot deserts; however, C. solstitialis has not been detected in most of these areas. The development of process-based models for predicting the establishment of this agent will require a more detailed understanding of the agent's requirements for development and survival.","PeriodicalId":94077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic entomology","volume":" ","pages":"465-470"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142886356","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}

Individual insects are modeled with their own genetic traits on a simulated sugarcane field that represents either Bt or refuge area. The model is applied to 2 hypothetical case studies. In the first experiment, resistance development and infestation dynamics in Bt sugarcane without refuge areas are considered using various sterile:wild sterile release ratios, and different release distributions. In the second experiment, the inclusion of a refuge area in Bt sugarcane is considered, using various sterile:wild releases ratios and different release distributions.

Our goals were to identify pheromone components produced by females of both species and to develop practical pheromone dispensers for use in monitoring these pests. Volatiles collected from virgin female L. elisus contained (E)-2-hexenyl butyrate (E2HB) as the major component with lesser amounts of hexyl butyrate (HB) and (E)-4-oxo-2-hexenal (E4OH) (ratio 117.2:100:17.1, respectively), whereas volatiles and solvent extracts from L. hesperus contained HB and E4OH as major components, with only small amounts of E2HB (100:23.6:3.4, respectively in volatiles). Dispensers fabricated from pipette tips released the components at ~10 µg/d in a ratio similar to the loading ratio. These lures were used to optimize the pheromone blends in field studies from 2012 to 2017. Blends of E2HB and E4OH attracted L. elisus, and a 100:60 blend was optimal. Blends of HB and E4OH attracted L. hesperus, and a 100:60 blend was adopted as a base blend. The additions of possible minor components such as (Z)-3-hexenyl butyrate, (E)-2-hexenal, or 1-hexanol did not improve the attraction of L. hesperus. In trials in alfalfa and strawberry, traps baited with blends of HB:E4OH (100:60) were equally or more effective for monitoring L. hesperus than sweep or vacuum samples, with pipette tip dispensers lasting 2-3 weeks under field conditions.

Facilities that mass rear insects are at risk of pest infestations because the optimal environmental conditions for rearing beneficial species may also support the development of pest species. Here, we present the first recorded results detailing the interactions between dermestids and farmed crickets. Cricket farms have reported extremely low harvest yield during heavy dermestid infestations, but the exact reasons for this low yield are unknown. Many dermestid larvae are covered in dense, detachable, barbed setae called hastisetae, which are used by the larvae as an active trapping system against arthropod predators. We designed a series of experiments to test the hypotheses that a dermestid pest of cricket farms, black larder beetle (Dermestes ater DeGeer (Coleoptera: Dermestidae)), may be directly impacting Gryllodes sigillatus Walker (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) yield through the physical effects of hastisetae ingestion and/or indirectly impacting cricket yield through competition for fishmeal, a primary source of protein in conventional cricket feed. Our predictions that G. sigillatus life history and survival would be negatively affected by dermestids were largely refuted. Females fed infested diets grew less mass, but not smaller body size, compared to females fed uninfested diets. We also found that while G. sigillatus experienced delayed growth early in life after living with dermestids, they were able to tolerate living with, and consuming, dermestid larvae. We discuss how these findings have led to new hypotheses concerning how dermestid infestations drive reductions in cricket farm yield.","PeriodicalId":94077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic entomology","volume":" ","pages":"160-171"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11818372/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142304949","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}
