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,...
The aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover, is identified as a significant pest that causes severe damage to goji berries in China. To analyze the ladybird consumption of aphids, functional responses three species, Harmonia axyridis, Coccinella septempunctata, and Hippodamia variegata, intraspecific competition among individuals were evaluated under laboratory conditions. Moreover, practical impact ladybirds on aphid population reduction was investigated semi-field We found all adult species exhibited...
Abstract Solenopsis invicta Buren, also known as the red imported fire ant (RIFA), has had a very negative effect on biological diversity, public safety, agriculture, and economics. Because of growth in global trade, RIFA threat to China will continue increase. To better understand characteristics newly observed distributions RIFA, we studied effects three factors including provincial areas, landcover types, climatic conditions 130 new occurrence records 2021. (1) We found that preferred...
The public concern about pollen-mediated gene flow (PGF) from genetically modified (GM) crops to non-GM heats up in recent years over China. In the current study, we conducted greenhouse and field experiments measure PGF with various physical isolation measures, including 90, 80, 60 40 holes/cm2 separation nets Sorghum bicolor, Zea mays Lycopersicon esculentum between GM cotton line (Shiyuan321) by seed DNA test during 2013 2015, pollen grain dyeing was also assess 2013. Our results revealed...
Functional responses at each developmental stage of predators and intraspecifi c competition associated with direct interactions among them provide insights into developing biological control strategies for pests.The functional Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) Melanaphis sacchari (Zehntner) were evaluated under laboratory conditions.The results showed that all stages H. displayed a type II response to M. sacchari.Based on Holling's disc equation, the instantaneous searching rates highest (a)...
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,...
Insects living in unfavorably high or low temperatures are predicted to display a fast slow life-history strategy. Here, we examined life histories of fall armyworm (FAW), globally important invasive species with broad ecological niche, at five constant 13, 19, 25, 31 and 37°C, study responses different temperatures.In our experiment, FAW had lower lifetime fecundity unfavorable temperatures, finding that is consistent the idea can shift resources from reproduction other functions under...
Abstract Background As a potential target receptor tyrosine kinase, mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor ( MET ) exhibits high aberrant expression across various tumors. This study aimed to evaluated the safety, tolerability, efficacy and pharmacokinetics (PK) of BPI-9016M, novel kinase inhibitor (TKI) targeting c-MET, in c-MET overexpression or exon 14 skipping mutation patients with locally advanced metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods/design In this two-part...
Complete metamorphosis, a key innovation in insect development, promotes diversification of species, but whether larval and adult morphologies evolve independently remains unknown. To analyze morphological continuity between the legs larva adult, regeneration frequencies lengths regenerated seven-spotted lady beetle, Coccinella septempunctata (Coccinella: Coccinellidae), were studied laboratory. The results showed appeared only stage rather than instars. Regeneration frequency was greater...
The gall mite Aceria pallida and the psyllid Bactericera gobica are serious Goji berry pests. can be phoretic on to overwinter, but it is unclear whether vector obtain benefits from phoront during growing season. After detachment, shares same habitat with its vector, so there very likely interspecific interactions. To better understand interactions positive or negative, information relationships between abundances of A. B. leaves needed. Here, abundance was represented by egg because...
The psyllid Bactericera gobica is a serious pest in goji berry orchards. current primary control methods involve chemical pesticides, which pose potential risks to human health and the environment. implementation promotion of biological agents should receive increased attention as an alternative approach safeguarding To compare predatory performance three biocontrol psyllids, including Harmonia axyridis, Coccinella septempunctata Hippodamia variegata, functional response intraspecific...
ABSTRACT Background Since larval cannibalism is frequently observed in intensive rearing systems, the regeneration of lost legs common for beneficial species Coccinella septempunctata (Coccinella: Coccinellidae) to adapt competitive environment, but whether functional recovery occurs leg‐regenerated coccinellids remains unknown. To evaluate regenerated right foreleg after being damaged, behaviors ladybugs containing predation, attachment, intraspecific competition, prey preference and...
As larval cannibalism is common under intensive rearing conditions, leg regeneration can help ladybugs adapt to the competitive environment, but whether leads side effects on development remains unclear. To analyze potentially developmental cost of regeneration, period and weight leg-regenerated Coccinella septempunctata were studied in laboratory. The results showed that, when time intervals between emergency 4th-instar larva amputation increased, larvae was gradually prolonged....
Pepper weevil, Anthonomus eugenii Cano (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is a most serious pest of peppers in North Florida. To analyze A. infestation levels on jalapeño as reference for effectively controlling pepper we investigated and population dynamics eugenii, influence plant direction, layer, spacing open fields The results showed that adult weevil started late Apr when plants to produce buds flowers. Three peaks were recorded 9 Jun, 24 Jul, 11 Sep. second peak the highest level (14.6 ±...
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...
Paratrioza sinica is a major pest of wolfberry (Lycium barbarum). Coccinellids can effectively control various developmental stages P. but not the stalked egg. To investigate protective role egg stalks against predaceous coccinellids Harmonia axyridis, Coccinella septempunctata and Hippodamia variegata, we studied functional responses to, effects of, two factors: angle between stalk leaf plane, spacing stalks.The searching rate, handling time theoretical maximum consumption H. variegata were...
