Disentangling the path of pollinator attraction in temporarily colored flowers - Samuel Boff; Jessica Amaral Henrique; Anna Friedel; Josué Raizer (International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2021)
Plants may use different strategies to attract pollinators in long distance (e.g. floral display) and in short distance (e.g. ratio between differentially colored flowers) scales. The Verbenaceae Lantana canescens Kunth is a wide spread species in open sites of the Brazilian Pantanal wetland. Individuals of this generalist species can produce a variable number of open inflorescences with yellow and white flowers that are organized in whorls. In this study we tested the hypothesis that increased floral display (long distance attraction) and the ratio between yellow and white flowers (short distance attraction) enhances the number of pollinator species and individuals. We observed flower visitors and calculated floral parameters in 38 plots of 1 m 2 each, that contained a varying number of flowering L. canescens individuals. Non-metric multidimensional scaling and Bray-Curtis distances were used to account for flower visitor composition and the relative visitation rate, respectively. We used a structural equation model to test the power of each predictor variable on the visitation rate and a covariance analysis to disentangle the effect of each independent variable on the frequency of plant-pollinator interactions. We found that the number of flower visitors and the visitation rate increased with increasing number of inflorescences. Disentangling long and short distance attraction indicated that the number of inflorescences (per plot) and the number of yellow flowers (yellowing effect) contributed most to flower visitation at long and short distance, respectively.

The effect of dietary graded inclusion levels of Imbrasia belina worm meal on meat chemical composition and fatty acid profile of broiler chicken meat was evaluated. A total of 360 chicks were randomly allocated to four dietary treatments, with each treatment group replicated 6 times (n = 15/replicate). The inclusion levels of the I. belina worm meal in the treatments were 0% control = T1, T2 = 4%, T3 = 8% and 12%. A three-phase feeding program of starter (0-14d), grower (15-28d), and finisher (29-35d) was employed for the study. The results showed that crude protein content of breast meat was higher (P < 0.05) in dietary treatments than control, whereas crude fat content of thigh meat was higher (P < 0.05) than in breast meat. The fatty acid composition of breast meat myristic and myristoleic acid levels were significantly reduced (P < 0.05) in treatment groups than the control, whereas the levels of linoleic acid, ⅀PUFA, ⅀PUFA/SFA, ⅀PUFA: MUFA, ⅀(n-6) in thigh meat decreased significantly (P < 0.05) in treatment groups than control. The ⅀(n-3) and atherogenic index in the thigh meat increased significantly (P < 0.05) with incremental levels of I. belina meal. In conclusion, I. belina meal improved the protein content of breast meat and reduced levels of some fatty acids.

Cultural aspects of ants, bees and wasps, and their products in sub-Saharan Africa - Arnold van Huis (International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2021)
This study’s purpose was to make an overview of how ants, bees, wasps, and their products, such as honey are utilized, perceived, and experienced in daily life across sub-Saharan Africa. Ethno-entomological information was collected by interviews with more than 300 people from 27 countries and by literature studies. Queens of the ant Carebara vidua are deliberately eaten and unintentionally bee larvae with honey and sugar ants with sugar. Honey, apart from food, is widely used to treat numerous medical problems and as a stimulant (for the memory) or as a cosmetic. In the Qur’an, the medical value of honey is recognized. Seed stores of ants may be harvested by humans. In Sudan, bee stings are used to cure arthritis as bee venom has bioactive properties. Wasp nests are used to cure inflammations such as mumps. Certain insect properties are used in conveying these treatments to persons it is employed to, such as wasps feed do make dogs vicious. Some stories seem to make no sense like the snake-trapping ants in Madagascar, but a scientific explanation is provided. Certain insects’ looks may inspire people to construct stories or have proverbs such as the very narrow waist of wasps, suggesting sterility. Bee swarms and driver ants are feared all over and believed to be employed (by witchdoctors) to punish. Not all stories of events with bees or ants are similar across sub-Saharan Africa. Social insects are also used to stimulate cohesion between people.

The African citrus triozid Trioza erytreae Del Guercio (Hemiptera: Triozidae) is the most destructive citrus pest. Presently, biological data on T. erytreae are insufficient for important parameters like distribution, seasonal dynamics and entomopathogens. Therefore, we determined the temporal dynamics of T. erytreae along three different altitudinal gradients in Kenya. In low altitudes, females of T. erytreae reactivated and started laying eggs between late February and early March. The mean monthly number of immature stages of T. erytreae per flush shoot peaked in February, whereas adults peaked in March. For mid-altitudes, T. erytreae mean populations peaked in February, but adults were already present in December. In high altitudes, adults appeared in June, and females began laying eggs. Trioza erytreae population densities in shaded trees positively and significantly correlated with unshaded trees. There was a significant difference between adult density and maximum temperature, average temperature, solar radiation, evaporation and dew point. Furthermore, this study evaluated the effects of 11 Metarhizium anisopliae and 4 Beauveria bassiana fungal isolates against adult T. erytreae under laboratory conditions. Metarhizium anisopliae ICIPE 18 and ICIPE 69 were the most potent isolates, causing 97.5% and 82.5% mortalities within the shortest LT 50 time of 4.4 and 5.9 days, respectively. The presence of Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Liviidae) on Zanthozylum capense requires further investigation. Our findings provide relevant information for early detection, monitoring and developing biopesticides against the pest.

Species composition, blood meal sources and insecticide susceptibility status of Culex mosquitoes from Jimma area, Ethiopia - Wondmagegn Guta; Eba Alemayehu Simma; Delenasaw Yewhalaw (International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2021)
Different species of Culex mosquitoes are present in high numbers in many other countries in addition to sub-Saharan Africa and Asian countries. Culex mosquitoes are serious nuisance which also transmit a range of pathogens including several viruses such as West Nile virus, Saint Louis encephalitis, and Rift Valley fever, as well as parasites such as avian malaria, and filarial worms. In Ethiopia, unlike Anopheles mosquitoes, little effort was given to study habitat, species composition, blood meal sources and insecticide susceptibility status of Culex mosquitoes. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the species composition, their blood meal source and insecticide susceptibility status of Culex mosquitoes to some of selected insecticides in Jimma town southwest Ethiopia. Culicine mosquito larvae were collected using a standard dipper (by dipping) from a range of breeding sites and reared to adults. Species identification was carried out using standard keys. Bioassay tests were performed on adults to assess the susceptibility of Culex mosquitoes to insecticide-impregnated papers with Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT (4%), mlathion (5%), bendiocarb (0.1%), propoxur (0.1%), deltamethrin (0.05%) and pirimiphos-methyl (0.25) following World Health Organization Pesticide Evaluation Scheme (WHOPES) guideline. Moreover, 184 blood fed (BF) Culex mosquitoes were collected using aspirator from indoor and outdoor resting and assayed to assess blood meal sources using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). The result of the study showed that among the collected Culex moquitoes, two species were identified as Culex quinquefasciatus and Cx antennatus whereas the remaining one could not be identified to species level. Culex mosquitoes were found to be resistant to DDT, malathion, bendiocarb, propoxur, and deltamethrin whereas susceptible to pirimiphos-methyl. The blood meal source analysis using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) showed higher blood source of human (33.2%) than bovine (15.2%). Thus, the observed resistance to the most of the insecticides coupled with higher human blood meal source calls further studies to be carried out in Culex mosquito populations of Ethiopia.

Polyphenolic extracts from the olive mill wastewater as a source of biopesticides and their effects on the life cycle of the Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata (Diptera, Tephriditae) - Vincenzo Di Ilio; Massimo Cristofaro (International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2021)
The Mediterranean Fruit Fly Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera, Tephriditae) is an important pest in the Mediterranean region causing severe economic losses. Currently, pyrethroids are the most common insecticides used in the control of the Medfly. However, the demand for biopesticides is growing due to the necessity to limit the use of hazardous chemical pesticides in the context of the integrated pest management. In this context, a valid alternative is the use of plant derived pesticides with a selective action against target pests and a shorter persistence in ecosystems. Among plant products, olive tree phenolic and polyphenolic compounds show potent bioactive properties as insecticides and growth regulators. The olive mill wastewater is an important source of these compounds. We are reporting here that the polyphenolic fractions of the olive mill wastewater, show ovicidal effects in terms of reduction of the hatching rate, whereas the larval development is not affected by the treatments. On the adults, we show that selected fractions induce a complete block of the fecundity of the females probably due to an induced disruption of the oogenesis. These results suggest that the polyphenolic fractions derived from the olive mill wastewater can be used as a strong natural chemosterilant against the Mediterranean Fruit fly and can be considered as a putative ovicidal agent.

Feeding habits, movement, and reproduction of the predatory flat bark beetles Cathartus quadricollis (Coleoptera: Silvanidae) and Leptophloeus sp. (Coleoptera: Laemophloeidae) in Hawaii coffee and macadamia nut - Eva Brill; Peter A. Follett; Andrea M. Kawabata (International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2021)
Hawaii has a multitude of scolytine (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolitinae) pests including Hypothenemus hampei , coffee berry borer, which is apest of coffee, Hypothenemus obscurus, tropical nut borer, a significant pest of macadamia nut, and Xylosandrus compactus , black twig borer, a pest of many tropical and ornamental crops. The flat bark beetles, Carthartus quadricollis (Coleoptera: Silvanidae) and Leptophloeus sp. (Coleoptera; Laemophloeidae), are known to predate on coffee berry borer and tropical nut borer but their natural history (feeding habits, reproduction and movement) are poorly understood. Studies were conducted using molecular, field, and laboratory assays to examine 1) flat bark beetle reproduction and movement in coffee and the broader agricultural landscape, 2) establishment of augmentative releases for biological control, and 3) predation rates on H. hampei , H. obscurus and X. compactus . Various life stages of C. quadricollis and Leptophloeus sp. were found in seven different plant species common to the agricultural landscape around coffee farms, suggesting these predators are feeding and reproducing on theses hosts. Molecular analysis indicated that C. quadricollis and Leptophloeus sp. predated on H. hampei, H. obscurus and X. compactus in coffee, macadamia nut, and mixed coffee-macadamia nut farms. Laboratory reared predators were recaptured near release sites on coffee farms at 1, 2, and 7 weeks after augmentative releases. Predation of C. quadricollis on H. hampei eggs placed inside artificial coffee berries in coffee farms was about 40%. Predators C. quadricollis and Leptophloeus sp. are natural enemies of some significant agricultural scolytine pests in Hawaii and have excellent potential for biological control with augmentative releases.
