The role of behavioral mechanisms in animal invasions is poorly understood. We show that asymmetric mating interactions between closely related but previously allopatric genetic groups the whitefly Bemisia tabaci, a haplodiploid species, have been driving force contributing to widespread invasion and displacement by alien populations. conducted long-term field surveys, caged population experiments, detailed observations Zhejiang, China, Queensland, Australia, investigate process its...
Since 2016, the fall armyworm (FAW) Spodoptera frugiperda has spread over extensive areas of tropics and subtropics, imperiling food security, economic progress livelihoods millions cereal farmers. Although FAW received long-standing scientific attention in its home range Americas, chemical inputs feature prominently mitigation biological control uptake is globally lagging. Here, building upon a quantitative review global literature, we methodically dissect science. Of known entomopathogens...
Many animal species comprise discrete phenotypic forms. A common example in natural populations of insects is the occurrence different color patterns, which has motivated a rich body ecological and genetic research [1-6]. The dark, i.e., melanic, forms displaying patterns found across multiple taxa, but underlying genomic basis remains poorly characterized. In numerous ladybird (Coccinellidae), spatial arrangement black red patches on adult elytra varies wildly within species, forming...
A series of novel 6-sulfonyl-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole derivatives were designed and synthesized.

Spodoptera frugiperda is a worldwide generalist pest with remarkable adaptations to environments and stresses, including developmental stage-related behavioral physiological adaptations, such as diverse feeding preferences, mate seeking, pesticide resistance. Insects' odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) chemosensory (CSPs) are essential for the chemical recognition during responses or other processes. The genome-wide identification gene expression patterns of all these identified OBPs CSPs...
Trichogramma dendrolimi Matsumura is widely used as a biological control agent for of lepidopteran agricultural pests in China and can be successfully reared using the large eggs Chinese silkworm, Antheraea pernyi. In this study, parameters diapaused, non-diapaused, cold-stored T. were investigated two generations on host A. pernyi under laboratory conditions.The performed more poorly than diapaused non-diapaused based parameters. F1 generation, had higher emergence rate, longer longevity,...
Abstract The capacity of the B biotype whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae), to invade has often been linked its presumably wider host range than non‐B indigenous biotypes. However, there are few experimental studies relative performance and biotypes on different host‐plant species. Here, we compared an (China‐ZHJ‐1) B. from Zhejiang, China five commonly cultivated plants, each a family: cotton, tobacco, cabbage, squash, kidney bean. We also examined effect rearing...
Spent mushroom substrate is made from the waste remaining after harvest of mushrooms. Here, we evaluated potential five spent edible fungi (Auricularia cornea, Lentinus edodes, Pleurotus eryngii, P. citrinopileatus and ostreatus) substrates as feed sources for Tenebrio molitor larvae. Young larvae did not survive on any except L. edodes (36.7%). The survival rates in young were similar among different diets which wheat bran or rice was replaced with 0, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60% substrate. weights...
Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are a class of small molecular weight soluble that exist as expanded gene families in all insects, acting ligand carriers mediating olfaction and other physiological processes. During fungal infection, subset insect OBPs were shown to be differentially expressed. We tested whether the altered expression during pathogenic infection plays role behavioral or immune interactions between hosts their pathogens. A wide range techniques including RNAi-directed...
Abstract BACKGROUND Encarsia formosa Gahan is the most important parasitoid exploited for control of whitefly pests vegetable crops. However, non‐target effects recently developed insecticides controlling whiteflies toward this biocontrol agent little documented. Here we evaluated susceptibility E. adults and juveniles to eight commonly used against whiteflies. RESULTS Residual toxicity tests on glass showed that were susceptible (over 98% mortality after 6 h treated) field concentrations...
Abstract The bean flower thrips, Megalurothrips usitatus (Bagnall) is an economically important insect pest of cowpea, Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp in south China.

Abstract Currently, there are a total of 15 thrips species in the genus Megalurothrips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae). sjostedti Trybom and usitatus (Bagnall) most economically important pest because serious damage they can do to leguminous crops, especially cowpea, which is an grain crop for Africa vegetable rest world. only distributed Africa, while M. widely spread subtropical tropical regions world more invasive.
