1. Cockroaches: a potential source of novel bioactive molecule(s) for the benefit of human health.
1. 蟑螂：有益于人类健康的新型生物活性分子的潜在来源PMID:日期:2023-01-01Cockroaches are one of the hardiest insects that have survived on this planet for millions of years. They thrive in unhygienic environments, are able to survive without food for up to 30 days, without air for around 45 min and being submerged under water for 30 min. Cockroaches are omnivorous and feed on a variety of foods, including cellulose and plastic, to name a few. It is intriguing that cockroaches are able to endure and flourish under conditions that are harmful to . Given the importance of the gut microbiome on its' host physiology, we postulate that the cockroach gut microbiome and/or its metabolites, may be contributing to their "hardiness", which should be utilized for the discovery of biologically active molecules for the benefit of human health. Herein, we discuss the biology, diet/habitat of cockroaches, composition of gut microbiome, cellular senescence, and resistance to infectious diseases and cancer. Furthermore, current knowledge of the genome and epigenome of these remarkable species is considered. Being one of the most successful and diverse insects, as well as their extensive use in traditional and Chinese medicine, the lysates/extracts and gut microbial metabolites of cockroaches may offer a worthy resource for novel bioactive molecule(s) of therapeutic potential for the benefit of human health and may be potentially used as probiotics.

2. {"_":"Efficiency of ant-control agents in colony-level oral toxicity tests using (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) for post-establishment control of the red imported fire ant, (Hymenoptera: Formicidae).","i":["Tetramorium tsushimae","Solenopsis invicta"]}
PMID:日期:2023-01-01The red imported fire ant Buren (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) causes serious damage worldwide as an invasive alien species. The species has expanded its range to the Pacific Rim since 2000s and Japan has faced its multiple introductions since 2017. While colony-level control methods are urgently needed, testing living colonies of the unestablished species is challenging especially due to various restrictions under the COVID-19 pandemic. Here, we proposed alternative long-term toxicity assays using artificial colonies of Emery (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), a Japanese native species belonging to the same subfamily (Myrmicinae) as . We conducted an acute toxicity test to determine if is a suitable substitute for using fipronil and found the LD value in was close to that in . Then, we conducted the long-term toxicity test with fipronil and two insect growth regulators (pyriproxyfen and etoxazole) using artificial colonies of . All workers and larvae in the fipronil-treated colonies died within 3 days of treatment initiation. Emergence of new workers was observed after 18 days in the etoxazole-treated and control colonies, but not in the pyriproxyfen-treated colonies. We concluded that fipronil was the most promising insecticide for post-establishment control, and pyriproxyfen was effective as a toxic-bait agent for colony-level control.

3. {"_":"A DNA barcoding method for identifying and quantifying the composition of pollen species collected by European honeybees, (Hymenoptera: Apidae).","i":["Apis mellifera"]}
PMID:日期:2018-01-01The European honeybee, L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae), is the most important crop pollinator, and there is an urgent need for a sustained supply of honeybee colonies. Understanding the availability of pollen resources around apiaries throughout the brood-rearing season is crucial to increasing the number of colonies. However, detailed information on the floral resources used by honeybees is limited due to a scarcity of efficient methods for identifying pollen species composition. Therefore, we developed a DNA barcoding method for identifying the species of each pollen pellet and for quantifying the species composition by summing the weights of the pellets for each species. To establish the molecular biological protocol, we analyzed 1008 pellets collected between late July and early September 2016 from five hives placed in a forest/agricultural landscape of Hokkaido, northern Japan. Pollen was classified into 31 plant taxa, of which 29 were identified with satisfactory discrimination (25 species and 4 genera) using - and ITS2 as DNA barcoding regions together with available floral and phenological information. The remaining two taxa were classified to the species level using other DNA barcoding regions. Of the 1008 pollen pellets tested, 1005 (99.7%) were successfully identified. As an example of the use of this method, we demonstrated the change in species composition of pollen pellets collected each week for 9 weeks from the same hive.

4. {"_":"Identification and functional characterization of the sex-determining gene in the sawfly, (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae).","i":["doublesex","Athalia rosae"]}
PMID:日期:2017-01-01Sexual fate of the sawfly, (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae) is determined by the complementary sex determination (CSD) mechanism as is the case in honeybees. However, to date, genes involved in sex determination have not been identified in this species. In this study, we attempted to identify orthologs of - (), (), and () from the . genome, all of which are crucial components of the sex determination cascade in the honeybee. As a result, we identified a sawfly ortholog of (designated as ). Rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) using total RNA extracted from male and female larvae identified three male-specific variants and three female-specific variants. Comparison between the full-length cDNAs and the genomic sequence revealed that exon 5 was differentially spliced between the male- and female-specific variants. RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that pre-mRNA was spliced alternatively in a sex-dependent manner at almost all the developmental stages. RNAi-mediated knockdown of in males caused severe defects in the reproductive organs and, notably, induced development of the ovipository apparatus containing the dorsal pair of blades and the sheath. These males also showed abnormalities in testes and seminal vesicles and lacked mature sperm. The present study provides the first direct evidence that is essential for sexual development in hymenopteran species.

5. {"_":"Soybean aphid, (Hemiptera: Aphididae), developmental and reproductive capacity on white clover, (Rosales: Leguminosae), in northeast China.","i":["Aphis glycines","Trifolium repens"]}
PMID:日期:2017-01-01Nymphs of Matsumura were individually reared to adults in the laboratory on detached leaf discs of L. (white clover) mounted on agar medium. Adults of were fed within small clip cages in the field. Development, reproduction and intrinsic rates of increase of were studied. These data were compared to those of controls fed known host plants including cultivated soybean (L.) Merr. and the wild soybean species Sieb & Zucc. The results demonstrated that nymphs of successfully developed into adults and reproduced efficiently when reared on in the laboratory. The lower development temperature threshold for nymphs fed was estimated as 8.27 °C, and the effective cumulative temperature for development from nymph to adult was 90.91 degree-days. Adults of could also survive on in the field, but only a few nymphs were produced.

6. {"_":"Invasion dynamics of Asian hornet, (Hymenoptera: Vespidae): a case study of a commune in south-west France.","i":["Vespa velutina"]}
PMID:日期:2017-01-01Asian hornet, Lepeletier nests were discovered in 2007 in Andernos-les-Bains on the south-west coast of France, 3 years after the first reported sightings in France. The number of nests increased in the commune over the following 7 years, despite local authorities enacting a destruction policy. The nests existed in close proximity to one another leading to a high density of over 10 nests per square kilometre in urban areas. New information on the chosen habitat for nests is presented, and the differences between primary and secondary locations are evident, with primary nests mostly occupying buildings and man-made structures, while secondary nests were found on trees. Using Bayesian inference methods, we fit a basic model to the observational data, which allows us to estimate key demographic parameters. This model fit is highly informative for predicting spread and colonisation of other at-risk regions, and suggests that local control has a limited impact on the spread of once established within a region.

7. {"_":"Illustrated key to the adult female (Diptera: Culicidae) mosquitoes of Sri Lanka.","i":["Anopheles"]}
PMID:日期:2017-01-01The identification of adult female anopheline mosquitoes is an important aspect in malaria surveillance and control strategy throughout the world, and taxonomic keys are being regularly revised and updated as new information becomes available. However, the currently available key to the anophelines of Sri Lanka is of limited use, because they were published more than 25 years ago. This paper presents an illustrated key for the identification of 23 adult female mosquitoes which are currently recognized as local anopheline species in Sri Lanka.

8. {"_":"Mode of entry of a vaporized pyrethroid knockdown agent into the body of the housefly, (Diptera: Muscidae).","i":["Musca domestica"]}
PMID:日期:2016-01-01We investigated the mode of entry of pyrethroids into the insect body using adult housefly, L., as an insect model. The wings of adult female houseflies were removed, and empenthrin was applied topically to three different sites: the mesothoracic spiracle, the ventral mesothorax, and the dorsal mesothorax. Among these treatments, the application of the compound to the mesothoracic spiracle led to the quickest knockdown of the flies. To determine the importance of the spiracle as a primary entry site for the pyrethroid, knockdown times were compared between houseflies with blocked and non-blocked spiracles, using two bioassays: a vapor action test using technical grade empenthrin, and a mosquito coil test using empenthrin-impregnated coils. In both tests, the times required for 50 % knockdown of spiracle-blocked houseflies were significantly higher than those required for the non-blocked flies. However, the mortality rates of the two groups were nearly identical, suggesting that spiracles play an important role in the knockdown of houseflies. These results also suggest that the rate of pyrethroid uptake through the spiracles was decreased due to the blocking of the mesothoracic spiracle. Therefore, the spiracle may be considered the main entry site for vaporized pyrethroids.

9. {"_":"Effects of halolactones with strong feeding-deterrent activity on the growth and development of larvae of the lesser mealworm, (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae).","i":["Alphitobius diaperinus"]}
PMID:The effects of dietary applied of β-damascone and its synthetic derivatives γ- and δ-halolactones, which show strong antifeedant activity, on the growth and development of larvae of the lesser mealworm, Panzer (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), were studied. Bioassays were performed in a dose-dependent manner. In the bioassays, oat flakes treated with 1.0, 0.5, and 0.1 % (w/v) acetone solutions of the tested compound or acetone alone as control were served as food. The experiments were conducted using 2-week-old larvae with an average body weight of 4.35-4.88 mg. High correlations between antifeedant activity and larvicidal and growth-inhibitory effects were observed. Larvae reared on diets containing the compounds (at a concentration of 1 %) with high deterrent activity were characterized by a prolonged period of development, lower body weight gain, and strong tendency for cannibalism as a result of starvation. The control larvae ended their development after 24 days with a mean body weight of 22.9 mg. At the same developmental time, the mean body weights of larvae treated with the δ-halolactones γ-chloro- and γ-bromo-δ-lactone were only 60.3 % and 43.2 % of that of the control larvae. The larval periods for larvae on the diets containing γ-chloro- and γ-bromo-δ-lactone were 33 and 41 days, respectively. The larval developmental time and body weight gain were not significantly influenced by lower doses of the compounds, with the exception of γ-bromo-δ-lactone. This compound, when applied at a concentration of 0.5 %, significantly prolonged larval development as compared to the control larvae, and caused high mortality of larvae and pupae. The adult emergence percentage was 37.51 % when this treatment was applied, as compared to 90.0 % in the control. Thus, β-damascone derivatives with a lactone ring exhibit both dose-dependent behavioral effects and post-ingestion toxicity against larvae, and may have the potential to control this pest.

10. Biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and classical biological control.
PMID:Increasing concern over worldwide loss of biodiversity has led ecologists to focus intently on how ecosystem functioning may depend on diversity. In applied entomology, there is longstanding interest in the issue, especially as regards the importance of natural enemy diversity for pest control. Here I review parallels in interest, conceptual framework, and conclusions concerning biodiversity as it affects ecosystem functioning in general and classical biological control in particular. Whereas the former focuses on implications of loss of diversity, the latter focuses on implications of increase in diversity as additional species of natural enemies are introduced to novel communities in new geographic regions for insect pest and weed control. Many field studies now demonstrate that ecosystem functioning, e.g., as reflected in primary productivity, is enhanced and stabilized over time by high diversity as the community increases in its efficiency in exploiting available resources. Similarly, there is growing field support for the generalization that increasing species and functional diversity of natural enemies leads to increasing pest suppression. Nonetheless a central concern of classical biological control in particular, as it seeks to minimize non-target effects, remains as to whether one or a few species of natural enemies can provide sufficient pest control.
