Automatic synthesis of insects bioacoustics using machine learning: a systematic review - Henry Kyalo; Henri Tonnang; James Egonyu; John Olukuru; Chrysantus Tanga; Kennedy Senagi (International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2025)
The application of machine learning has received increasing attention in the synthesis of insect sounds to preserve biodiversity. This study reviewed current literature on the application of these techniques in the automatic synthesis of insect bioacoustic and their applications in insects as food and feed, improving pest management, and as well as managing pollinators. To achieve this, the study used Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) methodology to identify, screen, and include the final articles used in this review, based on criteria such as papers addressing machine learning in insect acoustics, biodiversity, ecology conservation, etc. This study revealed that most of the researchers used secondary data and the microphone was the common tool used to record sound signals. Sound signals were mainly pre-processed using techniques such as denoising, segmentation, and windowing. Sound signal classification algorithms were categorized mainly as shallow and deep machine learning algorithms. In the shallow machine learning algorithms, the most common method of feature extraction was the Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) and the Support Vector Machine (SVM) was the most commonly used algorithm. In deep learning, spectrogram image features were widely extracted and the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) was mostly used to synthesize the spectral features. This paper also reviewed recent developments in insect bioacoustics signals processing, applications, and future directions. Generally, machine learning algorithms can be applied and deployed successfully to different insects’ automatic synthesis problems to improve the production of insects (as food and/or feed), and improve/preserve diversity and life on Earth.

Suitability of different artificial diets for mass rearing of six lepidopteran pest species - Elrine Strydom; Annemie Erasmus; Hannalene du Plessis; Johnnie van den Berg (International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2024)
Busseola fusca (Fuller) (Noctuidae), Chilo partellus (Swinhoe) (Crambidae), Eldana saccharina (Walker) (Pyralidae), Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) (Noctuidae), Sesamia calamistis (Hampson) (Noctuidae) and Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Noctuidae) are six of the most important insect pests of sugarcane, sorghum and maize in Africa. Suitable artificial diets are needed for the continuous rearing of these species in sufficient numbers to support research on Bt protein-incorporated artificial diet bioassays, screening for host plant resistance, as well as for monitoring of insecticide and Cry-protein resistance evolution in pest populations. This study evaluated diet protocols for rearing of these species. Different noctuid and crambid diets were evaluated and the following life history parameters were recorded: larval survival and mass, larval duration, pupation rate, pupal mass, duration of pupal period and sex ratio. Chilo partellus, E. saccharina and H. armigera excelled on a sugarcane-incorporated diet with high larval survival and mass, pupation and the quickest development to adults. Busseola fusca , S. calamistis and S. frugiperda performed better on a maize leaf-incorporated diet. These two diets are considered optimal for the respective species and are recommended for use in rearing of these species.

Pastoral grasses and legumes as potential host plants for fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) development. - Saleh Mohammad Adnan; Holly Cattermole; Kim Saligari; Helen Spafford (International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2024)
The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a highly polyphagous, migratory pest native to the tropical and subtropical region of Americas. Grass crops particularly corn have been most heavily impacted since S. frugiperda invaded Australia in 2020. In northern Western Australia, S. frugiperda is primarily a problem in dry season (May to October) crops when there are abundant host plants available in monocultures. During the wet season (November to April) it is not known what host plants may support larval growth and development. Accordingly, this present study undertook a no-choice feeding bioassay to assess larval and pupal development on several grasses and legumes that are present over the wet season in northern Western Australia to evaluate their potential as suitable host plants for S. frugiperda . Maize (control) and sorghum were the most suitable hosts for S. frugiperda development as they supported greater larval and pupal survival, heavier larvae and pupae, and shorter development period. Following maize and sorghum, pastoral grasses, particularly blue grass, and a weedy grass, barnyard grass, had comparable effects on larval and pupal development. Legume pastures (Cavalcade, butterfly pea, and siratro) were unsuitable hosts in this bioassay as very few larvae completed their development to adults. This study demonstrates the potential for rangeland pasture grasses and weedy grasses as wet season host plants for S. frugiperda . They provide the necessary green bridge for S. frugiperda populations to survive. It is recommended that pastoralists monitor their grass forage for S. frugiperda and consider management if significant reductions in biomass are detected.

Insights of ecological resilience in Caatinga assemblages – landscape configuration drives Chrysomeloidea (Coleoptera) diversity in a seasonally dry tropical forest - Renato Portela Salomão; Fredy Alvarado; Artur Campos Dália Maia; Denize Wgliana Gervasio de Oliveira; Adelita Maria Linzmeier; Luciana Iannuzzi (International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2024)
Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests (SDTFs) have long suffered from chronic, intensive and extensive landscape transformations due to human activities, challenging biodiversity conservation in this biome. The Caatinga is the largest Neotropical SDTF, serving as an excellent model to understand how land use changes modulate ecological communities. In this study, we assessed the effects of landscape configuration and composition on the abundance and diversity of Chrysomeloidea in a region of Caatinga. We sampled beetles in 10 landscape units, in which we measured landscape configuration (patch size, edge density) and composition (landscape diversity, patch richness). Hill numbers (q0, q1, q2) were used to analyze the diversities of Chrysomeloidea. A total of 484 individuals belonging to 82 species were collected. Landscape configuration affected Chrysomeloidea assemblages with a positive correlation between edge density and Chrysomeloidea diversity. We provide a new perspective regarding the spatial distribution of Chrysomeloidea in Caatinga and conclude that landscape configuration, but not composition, directly affects Chrysomeloidea assemblages.

Pupal diapause in Hypocosmia pyrochroma (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), a biological control agent for Dolichandra unguis-cati (Bignoniaceae) - Kunjithapatham Dhileepan (International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2024)
Cats claw creeper leaf-tying moth Hypocosmia pyrochroma (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) enter pupal diapause in the soil from middle of autumn (April), in response to declining photoperiod. Proportion of larvae entering pupal diapause increased with decreasing Daily Solar Radiation (DSR), and all larvae completing development in winter under low DSR entered pupal diapause. Under natural photoperiod, adults emerged from pupal diapause, from late spring (October) to middle of summer (January), with peak adult emergence in late spring (November) and early summer (December). Pupae did not undergo diapause when the entire development (eggs and all larval instars) occurred under prolonged photoperiod (14 L:10D). However, it was not possible to terminate the pupal diapause either by prolonging photoperiod or by increasing the temperate regimes. Based on larval incidence in the field it is proposed that H. pyrochroma is a bivoltine species with overlapping generations.

Four species of Trichoderma genius ( T. harzianum , T. citrinoviride , T. viride and T. asperellum ) and Metarhizium anisopliae were assessed for their effects on larval mortality and progeny production of Trogoderma granarium Everts (Coleoptera: Dermestidae). The fungal strains were tested at 2.0 × 10 6 , 2.0 × 10 7 , 2.0 × 10 8 and 2.0 × 10 9 spores/kg. The larval mortality of T. granarium was recorded after 7, 14 and 21 days of treatment. The emerged adults (F 1 ) from treated larvae were counted after 30 days of treatment, while F 2 and grain weight loss were examined after 80 days of treatment. In general, increasing of spore concentration of all fungal strains enhanced the larval mortality. After 21 of treatment, all fungal strains induced notable larval mortality particularly at the highest concentration (2.0 × 10 9 spores/kg) except T. viride (19.4%). The highest larval mortality was observed in treatments with M. anisopliae (82.1%) and T. citrinoviride (69.0%) at 2.0 × 10 9 spores/kg, respectively. Furthermore, all spore concentrations of tested fungi decreased the emerged adults (F 1 and F 2 ) with M. anisopliae , T. citrinoviride and T. harzianum being the most potent, particularly at 2.0 × 10 9 spores/kg. After 80 days, M. anisopliae and T. citrinoviride at 2.0 × 10 9 spores/kg induced the highest protection of wheat grains against larvae of T. granarium with weight loss of 0.7 and 1.3%, respectively. The outcomes of the present study indicate that the two fungi, M. anisopliae and T. citrinoviride are highly effective seed protectants against T. granarium and could be applied in the integrated pest management programs (IPM) of khapra beetle as effective biological control agents.

To evaluate the influence of ecological migration village construction on mosquito vector populations and mosquito-borne diseases in southern Yunnan Province. Two vicinal villages in Mengla County, the southern part of Yunnan Province, a native village, and a newly built village, were selected as study sites. Malaria and Japanese Encephalitis vector mosquito population divergence between the two villages were studied. Malaria and Japanese Encephalitis (JE) cases in the two villages were also compared. Anopheles minimus was the dominant population in houses in the newly built village, and An . jeyporiensis dominated the native village. Accordingly, there were nine malaria cases in the new village compared with zero cases in the native village. Culex tritaeniorhynchus , the chief JE vector in the study area, displayed no difference between the two villages; however, there was a higher density of the local secondary JE vector ( Cx. pseudovishnui ) in the native village than in the new one. The JE cases in the villages corresponded to zero. From the vector-borne disease perspective, our results suggest that local community should pay more attention to malaria and An . minimus during the construction of an ecological migration village in the new Chinese Western Developing Plan (CWDP) in southern Yunnan Province.
