The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) is a serious agricultural pest. species originates from the tropical and subtropical regions of Americas has now become established in many countries. Its strong migratory ability key factor rapidly expanding range S. Africa, where food security faces unprecedented challenges. Exploring potential distributions niche differentiation could provide new insights into nature climate shifts our to anticipate further invasions. In this study,...
Stephanitis macaona Drake, 1948 (Hemiptera: Tingidae) is an important pest of camphor trees. The complete mitochondrial genome S. was sequenced and assembled in this paper. circular 15,407 bp length contains 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA 2 ribosomal genes) as well one AT-rich region (GenBank accession no. PP868166). average nucleotide composition 44.04% for A, 34.40% T, 12.50% C, 9.06% G. percentage A + T contents 78.44%. maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis the...
Spodoptera frugiperda, known as the fall armyworm (FAW), a major invasive pest in corn, is rapidly spreading all over world. Similarly to other Lepidoptera insects, FAW pupae usually develop soil. Therefore, soil moisture level expected be an important factor impacting their growth. In order study development and emergence of 100% environment, three factors were selected for experiments this study: duration saturated (100%) treatment (0 h, 24 48 72 h), initial before larvae entered 50%),...
Sympiezomias velatus (Chevrolat) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) has caused serious damage on jujube trees (Ziziphus jujuba Mill) in northern China. Semiochemicals emerging from the host are essential process of insects identifying and localizing host. The highly expressed odorant-binding protein 1 S. (SvelOBP1) was assumed to play a possible role recognition volatiles. In this study, SvelOBP1 cloned based antennal transcriptome velatus. recombinant Escherichia coli purified by Ni-NTA resin....
Functional responses of the fall armyworm (FAW) larvae at each stage, and their intraspecific competition associated with cannibalism, provide insights into developing pest management strategies for FAW. To help use insecticides more sparingly, functional response FAW were evaluated under laboratory conditions. The results showed that all stages displayed a type II to diet. Based on Holling's disc equation, search rate (a) handling time (Th) sixth instar (a = 0.493; Th 0.37 min) highest,...
Abstract Soil moisture has an important effect on lepidopteran species, considering larval pupation in soil. The major pest of maize, fall armyworm (FAW) Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith; Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is invasive rapidly spreading across the world and recently invaded China. Similar to other FAW commonly occurs soils protect itself against adverse external environments. To study effects soil pupation, five levels (0%, 25%, 50%, 75% 100%) were selected. treatment 100% was...
Abstract Host plant growth changing with environmental conditions can impact the distribution of herbivores. The generalist herbivore fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is an invasive pest rapidly spreading across world and has recently invaded southern China. We studied effects factors on its host (maize) in tropical mountainous area Huize County, province Yunnan, southwest Moreover, relationships among FAW distribution, (altitude, temperature...
