Abstract BACKGROUND Temperature and humidity are critical environmental factors that shape insect growth, development survival. The larval stage is particularly vulnerable, making the ability to detect respond adverse conditions vital for avoiding harm. oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis , a major global pest inflicting damage on >150 crops. However, behavioral responses of nonmodel larvae temperature remain poorly characterized. RESULTS We found significantly influence key...
Plant-produced volatiles play a pivotal role as mediators in complex interactions between insects and plants. Despite the widespread recognition that these compounds serve cues for herbivorous to locate their preferred host plants, effects on insect mating behavior are less understood. Here, we show male oriental fruit flies (Bactrocera dorsalis) highly attracted plant volatile compound methyl eugenol (ME), which enhances attractiveness of leks females. To elucidate molecular underpinnings...
The ability to recognize a host plant is crucial for insects meet their nutritional needs and locate suitable sites laying eggs. Bactrocera dorsalis highly destructive pest in fruit crops. Benzothiazole has been found induce oviposition behavior the gravid B. dorsalis. However, ecological roles olfactory receptor responsible benzothiazole are not yet fully understood. In this study, we that adults were attracted benzothiazole, which was an effective stimulant. vitro experiments showed...
To assess the genetic diversity, structure, and population dynamics of Schizopygopsis pylzovi, we examined changes in mitochondrial DNA sequences (the mtDNA control region Cyt b gene; 1835 bp) 304 individuals from nine populations. The samples were segregated into 112 haplotypes, with high haplotype diversity low nucleotide diversity. was highest Minhe (HS) range Huangshui River lowest Weiyuan (WY) Weihe River. Analysis molecular variance showed that 69.64% total contributed by...
