Communal rearing induces high predatory capacity in a solitary wolf spider and its potential in pest control

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2023., 2023
Pardosa pseudoannulata is a solitary wolf spider and it is a major predator of pests such as Nilaparvata lugens in rice fields. The results showed that the survival rates of the communal‐reared and individual‐reared spiders were similar, but communal‐reared spiders were significantly more voracious.

Stemborer‐induced rice plant volatiles boost direct and indirect resistance in neighboring plants

New Phytologist, Volume 237, Issue 6, Page 2375-2387, March 2023., 2023
Summary Herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) are known to be perceived by neighboring plants, resulting in induction or priming of chemical defenses. There is little information on the defense responses that are triggered by these plant–plant interactions, and the phenomenon has rarely been studied in rice. Using chemical and molecular analyses in

Description of the immature stages of the planthopper Lacertinella australis (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) [PDF]

Journal of Insect Science, 2014
Se describen e ilustran las cinco etapas inmaduras del saltamontes Lacertinella australis (Remes Lenicov y Rossi Batiz) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae: Saccharosydnini). Los personajes principales que nos permitieron distinguir las diversas etapas fueron el tamaño corporal, el número de tarsómeros y espinas metatibiales y el número de dientes en el espolón ...

Unintended changes in transgenic maize cause no nontarget effects

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 392-402, July 2022., 2022
Genetic engineering is used to introduce new genes into plants to obtain crops with novel traits. However, the unintended effects of genetically engineered (GE) crops on nontarget organisms—such as beneficial insects—are a topic of much concern.

Effects of elevated CO2 and temperature on survival and wing dimorphism of two species of rice planthoppers (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) under interaction.

Pest Management Science, 2020
BACKGROUND Anthropogenic climate change (ACC) may have significant impacts on insect herbivore communities including pests. Two of the most important climate-change related factors are increased atmospheric concentrations of CO2 , and increasing mean ...

Insecticide‐contaminated honeydew: risks for beneficial insects

Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 2, Page 664-678, April 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT Honeydew is the sugar‐rich excretion of phloem‐feeding hemipteran insects such as aphids, mealybugs, whiteflies, and psyllids, and can be a main carbohydrate source for beneficial insects in some ecosystems. Recent research has revealed that water‐soluble, systemic insecticides contaminate honeydew excreted by hemipterans that feed on plants ...

Bacterial Symbionts of the Brown Planthopper,Nilaparvata lugens(Homoptera: Delphacidae) [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2010
ABSTRACTThe brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugensStål), the most destructive pest of rice, has been identified, including biotypes with high virulence towards previously resistant rice varieties. There have also been many reports of a yeast-like symbiont ofN. lugens, but little is known about the bacterial microbes.

Are ecological communities the seat of endosymbiont horizontal transfer and diversification? A case study with soil arthropod community

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 21, Page 14490-14508, November 2021., 2021
This manuscript characterizes incidence, diversity, extent of horizontal transfer, and recombination of three different endosymbionts (Wolbachia, Cardinium, and Arsenophonus) in a soil arthropod community. We utilized multilocus strain typing system (MLST) for Wolbachia and 16S rRNA gene for Cardinium and Arsenophonus to answer whether endosymbionts ...

Repellency Mechanism of Natural Guar Gum-Based Film Incorporated with Citral against Brown Planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae)

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
Using of plant essential oil that coevolved as a defense mechanism against agriculture insects is an alternative means of controlling many insect pests. In order to repel brown planthoppers (BPHs), the most notorious rice insect pest, a new film based on
