Proprioseiopsis mexicanus (Garman), a generalist predatory mite, is highly effective biological control agent applied for pest management worldwide. It performs particularly well against sap-suckling pests, such as Tetranychus urticae, Frankliniella occidentalis, and Bemisia tabaci, which often occur simultaneously in agricultural ecosystems, posing greater threat to crop production. In this study, we explored the potential of P. by investigating life history parameters, predation, prey...
Abstract Microbial communities, derived from food, ambient, and inner, can affect host ecological adaption evolution. Comparing with most phytophagous arthropods, predators may have more opportunities to develop specific microbiota depending on the level of prey specialization. To explore how diet sources microbial communities vary across predator species, we considered 3 types Phytoseiidae (Acari: Mesostigmata): polyphagous ( Amblyseius orientalis Ehara, Neoseiulus barkeri Hughes, swirskii...
Light is an important abiotic factor affecting insect behavior. In nature, linearly polarized light common, but circularly rare. Left (LCP) selectively reflected by the exocuticle of most scarab beetles, including Anomala corpulenta . Despite our previous research showing that this visual signal probably mediates their mating behavior, way in which it does so not well elucidated. study, we investigated how LCP affects only behavior also gene expression species using RNA-seq. The results...
Bradysia cellarum (Diptera: Sciaridae) is a destructive vegetable insect pest infesting more than 30 species of host plants from seven families in Asia and Europe. B. causes grave problems Chinese chive, which originated China cultivated widely East Asia. The infestation results economic losses subsequent severe food safety farm productions, insecticide resistance environmental pollution. genomic molecular information to delineate the biological features, resistance, evolution remains poorly...
Phenotypic plasticity, especially the ability to switch new dietary sources is essential invertebrates for survival and reproduction in variable environments. Amblyseius orientalis Ehara (Acari: Phytoseiidae) an effective predatory mite control spider mites orchards, whereas its preys or artificial diets used mass rearing productions are distinct from field pests. It’s unknown if predator performance could recover immediately after diet change condition pest management. In this study, we...
Abstract Some insects that particularly prefer sunny or shaded sites use light intensity to locate suitable oviposition during the day. However, it is not known whether crepuscular species can be guided by for under dim variable conditions. We used moth Grapholita molesta (Busck) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), a major pest of stone and pome fruits worldwide, investigate response at various intensities (1000, 100, 10, 1 mW m −2 ). Light in peach tree canopy about 10× higher than sites. In both...
Abstract Microbial communities, derived from food, ambient and inner, can affect host ecological adaption evolution. Comparing with most of phytophagous arthropods, the diet predators is pretty complex varied. At a higher trophic level, there may be more opportunity for to develop specific microbiota which also depend on level prey specialization shown by predators. To explore how sources microbial communities vary across species, we considered three types family Phytoseiidae: polyphagous (...
Light is one of the key environmental factors for insects to survive. Artificial light sources different from natural can cause stress in insects. Yellow and green interfere with diurnal rhythm nocturnal moths their mating, oviposition, adult longevity. The scarabaeid beetles Anomala corpulenta Motschulsky Holotrichia parallela are widely distributed, they very harmful underground pests. In order clarify effects on behaviors, individuals both species were exposed yellow (565-585 nm) (525-545...
