For this reason, producers must abide by restrictive measures to guarantee P. japonica-free plants, leading to major restrictions on their commercial activities. An innovative and sustainable approach to P. japonica control involves the application of a mulch layer to potted plants to physically prevent beetle oviposition. A choice test compared the effectiveness of 13 mulching materials in preventing P. japonica oviposition and the influence of soil moisture on egg laying. Additionally, for 10 of these materials, the role of mulch physical properties in preventing oviposition in potted plants was assessed in a no-choice test. The survey demonstrated that mulching can significantly reduce the risk of P. japonica's oviposition in container substrates. Mulches with higher specific weights, such as gravel and lapilli pebbles, achieved greater control. Soil moisture influenced P. japonica oviposition, with higher moisture levels leading to increased egg laying.

Further, long-term impacts of Nantucket pine tip moth feeding can lead to persistent growth reductions throughout the entire harvest rotation; however, there is a dearth of new research on Nantucket pine tip moth-especially economic impacts-over the last several decades, and information is lacking regarding the economic impact of Nantucket pine tip moth damage over an entire stand rotation. To address this issue, we evaluated the economic impact of Nantucket pine tip moth feeding in a loblolly pine stand in North Carolina over a 23-yr harvest rotation. Our economic analysis suggested that under the right circumstances, Nantucket pine tip moth control could be economically worthwhile-but this would depend on several extrinsic factors, including site index, tree growth rate, market value of the products, and the cost of management activities. The need to manage Nantucket pine tip moth currently varies both spatially and temporally, and our data shows that this stochasticity will likely persist throughout the harvest rotation, and that Nantucket pine tip moth treatment should be carefully considered on a site-by-site basis.","PeriodicalId":94077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic entomology","volume":" ","pages":"1752-1761"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144095902","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}

(Hymenoptera: Apidae) winter colony mortality has reached sustained high levels and beekeepers depend on the availability of mated honey bee queens in early spring to recoup colony losses. Unfortunately, importing mated queens from other countries is currently the only reliable option meeting the demands of commercial beekeeping each spring in Canada. However, relying on queen imports brings another set of challenges, as supply chains can be disrupted, border crossings closed, imports prohibited, and the transportation of live animals can be stressful. This study explored the potential for Canadian beekeepers to supply queens in early spring by overwintering queens in queen banks that mated the previous summer. Queens were overwintered indoors in five queen banks. The following spring, the overwintered banked queens and a group of newly mated imported queens were introduced to colonies to evaluate queen introduction success and colony performance and survival over the following year. Queen survival in overwintered queen banks was low, with only 15% queen survival overall. Sperm viability of the banked queens prior to overwintering in queen banks was 30% higher than queens post-overwintering in queen banks. However, queen introduction success in the spring 2021, colony size, honey yield, and winter survival did not differ among queens that overwintered in queen banks and newly mated queens that were imported that spring. These results suggest banked overwintered queens have comparable performance to newly mated imported queens; although, overwintering mated queens in queen banks is risky, as entire queen banks can be lost, significantly reducing queen survival and the availability of mated queens in early spring.","PeriodicalId":94077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic entomology","volume":" ","pages":"1512-1518"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12397964/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144512950","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}

However, endemic populations in the Lower Rio Grande Valley (LRGV) along the Texas-Mexico border continue to threaten U.S. cotton production. When a boll weevil is captured in an eradicated zone, knowledge of its geographic origin benefit eradication programs and helps to implement safeguards to reduce future infestation. Here, we determine the likely geographic origin for a 2018 boll weevil outbreak in a previously eradicated region near Kingsville, TX, using independent methods of population ancestry, relatedness, and population genetic approaches. We measure and compare the genetic signatures to similar outbreaks in other eradicated zones of Texas from prior years, as well as to boll weevil individuals captured throughout the LRGV. Finally, we assess the reliability of our relatedness metrics by validating our approach with genetic lines of the model insect Tribolium castaneum Herbst. We conclude that the 2018 boll weevil outbreak in Kingsville likely originated from an independent introduction of individuals from the LRGV. Relatedness patterns among these samples also indicate they are closely related to each other, e.g., parent-offspring, sibling-sibling, or half siblings, suggesting reproduction occurred in nearby cotton fields following the introduction of a few individuals into the region. Together, these methods and results illustrate the utility of whole-genome sequencing, demographic reconstruction, classical population genetics, and contemporary pairwise relatedness for non-model insects to support precise agricultural management and conclusive source estimation.","PeriodicalId":94077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic entomology","volume":" ","pages":"1913-1921"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144532027","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}

Exposure to increasing concentrations of A. annua essential oil, camphor, and 1,8-cineole significantly reduced larval hemocyte counts. Granulocytes and plasmatocytes are essential hemocytes responsible for phagocytosis and the encapsulation of harmful agents. A decrease in these cells weakens immune defenses and makes larvae more susceptible to pathogenic challenges. Additionally, the observed decline in both nodulation following Beauveria bassiana injection and phenoloxidase activity underscores an overall suppression of immune function. Antioxidant enzyme activities including superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase, and glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase increased significantly in treated larvae relative to controls.

However, they also cause extensive damage in live trees and pose serious risks to tree health as a result. The urban tree canopy in areas with established populations of Coptotermes are therefore at risk of loss of trees over time, and many urban forests within municipality parks in their introduced range may experience tangible canopy alteration. This can have wide-reaching negative impacts on the ecology of these parks and to the public that utilize them. This 5-yr long study utilized eight parks (1,304 trees) to demonstrate how a simple visual monitoring/bait approach can identify and eliminate termite colonies infesting trees and maintain minimal termite activity within public green spaces. Here, we demonstrate that the systematic direct application of an experimental above-ground chitin synthesis inhibitor (CSI) bait formulation to trees can eliminate termite activity and protect trees. However, owing to high termite pressure, colony reinfestation is likely over time, and municipalities may have to establish perennial programs that would include regular monitoring and treatment as needed. Such a long-term strategy would minimize tree loss, while using a termite-specific formulated pesticide with a low amount of active ingredient. This pilot study demonstrates that it can be achieved, but ultimately, the success of this approach relies on technically competent staff that can readily identify the signs of active Coptotermes infestation in trees and access to above ground CSI bait formulations.","PeriodicalId":94077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic entomology","volume":" ","pages":"1868-1878"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144610724","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}

Neuropeptides regulate multiple behavioral and physiological processes by acting on their corresponding receptors and are increasingly being considered as targets for new environmentally friendly insecticides. In this study, RNA-seq technology and bioinformatics were used to explore neuropeptides and their receptors by comparing the transcriptome profiles of the larval heads of male and female Clania variegata Snellen (Lepidoptera: Psychidae), a pest with significant agricultural and ecological impact. The clean transcriptome reads were assembled into 41,283 unigenes, with 2,461 differently expressed genes (DEGs) between the male and female groups. Fourteen neuropeptides were identified, of which allatotropin, allatostatin, and eclosion hormone can be used as potential pest control agents based on their pivotal roles in regulating growth and development. Several amidated neuropeptides were also identified, including neuropeptide IMFamide, myosuppressin-like isoform X2, neuropeptide F, short neuropeptide F, FMRFamide-related peptides, and CCHamide-2 isoform X2. Additionally, neuropeptides such as ion transport peptide-like, diuretic hormone class 2, diuretic hormone 41 isoform X4, and pro-corazonin are believed to regulate ion and water balance through modulation of the excretory system. Fifteen neuropeptide receptors were found, including those for allatostatin-A, neuropeptide CCHamide-2, neuropeptide F, FMRFamide, and neuropeptide SIFamide, several of which are implicated in behavioral regulation.
