Abstract Identifying species boundaries within morphologically indistinguishable cryptic species complexes is often contentious. For the whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Aleyrodoidea: Aleyrodidae), the lack of a clear understanding about the genetic limits of the numerous genetic groups and biotypes so far identified has resulted in a lack of consistency in the application of the terms, the approaches used to apply them and in our understanding of what genetic structure within B. tabaci means. Our response has been to use mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase one to consider how to clearly and consistently define genetic separation. Using Bayesian phylogenetic analysis and analysis of sequence pairwise divergence we found a considerably higher number of genetic groups than had been previously determined with two breaks in the distribution, one at 11% and another at 3.5%. At &amp;gt;11% divergence, 11 distinct groups were resolved, whereas at &amp;gt;3.5% divergence 24 groups were identified. Consensus sequences for each of these groups were determined and were shown to be useful in the correct assignment of sequences of unknown origin. The 3.5% divergence bound is consistent with species level separations in other insect taxa and suggests that B. tabaci is a cryptic species composed of at least 24 distinct species. We further show that the placement of Bemesia atriplex (Froggatt) within the B. tabaci in group adds further weight to the argument for species level separation within B. tabaci. This new analysis, which constructs consensus sequences and uses these as a standard against which unknown sequences can be compared, provides for the first time a consistent means of identifying the genetic bounds of each species with a high degree of certainty.

产卵偏好、幼虫扩散与同类相食行为在Helicoverpa armigera（鳞翅目：夜蛾科）中的研究

Hermetia illucens (L.) was reared on three larval diets to determine their effects on preimaginal development and selected adult life-history traits. Prepupal and adult characteristics were examined for individuals reared on each diet and compared with field-collected prepupae and corresponding emergent adults. Diet did not significantly influence development or survivorship to the prepupal stage. However, adult emergence for all diets was significantly less than that determined for the wild population. Development time from egg to adult for individuals reared on the diets at 27°C ranged from 40 to 43 d with the larval stage lasting 22–24 d. We observed >96% larval survivorship to the prepupal stage and 21–27% adult emergence. Females accounted for 55–60% of emergent adults across treatments. Specimens reared on each diet were reduced in size, longevity, and calorie content in comparison to specimens from the wild population. Males within diet treatments and field-collected specimens were significantly smaller than females and emerged 1–2 d before females. Additionally, males reared on the diets and provided water lived for 9 d, whereas females lived for 8 d. This information indicates the diets might be used for rearing soldier flies. However, further refinement is needed to produce adults similar to those found in nature.

Abstract Exotic fruit flies in the family Tephritidae pose a threat to U.S. agriculture and natural resources. As part of ongoing fruit fly detection and exclusion programs, invasive fruit fly adults are periodically trapped in and introduced populations are eradicated from two major fruit producing states: California and Florida. Although the pathways used by flies to enter these states are not clear, one possible introduction pathway is hand-carrying fruits and vegetables infested with eggs or larvae through ports of entry during border crossings or international air travel. These collections represent an important resource for determining what species are most commonly associated with particular ports of entry, their host plants, and source country, making the identification of the intercepted larvae fundamental. Here, we examine cytochrome c oxidase subunit I sequences obtained with Sanger DNA sequencing and Single Molecule Real-time sequencing (SMRT) technologies on a collection of hundreds of intercepted larvae and pupae that are suspected to be fruit pests found in the subfamily Dacinae, in addition to a collection of field-caught flies. Utilizing Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) Circular Consensus Sequencing, we sequenced thousands of independent amplicons in a single SMRT cell. We present our implementation of PacBio’s method by describing wet-lab procedures as well as analytical protocols to automate the process. Finally, for the intercepted material, we compared the generated SMRT data to sequences produced with Sanger and evaluate their quality as a means to identify flies. Using intercepted material, we obtained a sequencing success of over 88% with PacBio’s SMRT sequencing. As the spread of invasive insects grow, so will the size of collections of intercepted material; we found technologies such as SMRT sequencing to be excellent resources to simplify the generation of large amounts of molecular data and to reduce or eliminate all together the manipulation of the sequences.

Abstract Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is a global invasive pest attacking soft-skinned fruit. The specialist larval parasitoid wasp, Ganaspis brasiliensis (Ihering), was recently approved in Europe and the United States for classical biological control releases against D. suzukii. Rearing methods are essential for supporting innundative releases but current methods using fresh fruit are costly and susceptible to variation in host quality. To develop an artificial rearing system, we first compared the performance and development of D. suzukii and G. brasiliensis on fresh raspberries and blueberries and then on various artificial diet shapes and volumes. Drosophila suzukii had 1–2 days shorter development times in raspberry than blueberry, whereas Ganaspis adult development time was similar in both fruit and averaged 25 days. Parasitism rates by G. brasiliensis were significantly higher in blueberry than raspberry in both small and large resource patches. We found that D. suzukii preferred to lay eggs in full sphere diet shapes than in flat diet circles or semisphere diet, and in the first trial with wasps parasitism was only found on D. suzukii larvae in the full sphere shape of raspberry diet. Comparison of parasitism on full sphere raspberry and blueberry diets found higher parasitism in raspberry compared to blueberry diet. Our results indicate potential for further improvement of artificial rearing systems for G. brasiliensis to allow more cost-effective and reliable rearing for biological control programs.

Abstract Silpha obscura Linnaeus, 1758 (Coleoptera: Silphidae) is an omnivorous beetle species known for damaging agricultural crops, making it an important target for pest control strategies. Despite its impact, no studies have yet examined the anatomical and histological structures of the male digestive and reproductive tracts of S. obscura. Therefore, this study aimed to describe these structures in detail, which could provide insights into potential control methods. Twenty individuals were collected and histologically processed, with observations made using light microscopy. The digestive tract of S. obscura comprises 3 parts: a short foregut, a relatively long and wide midgut characterized by folds and numerous crypts of the blind intestine, and a narrow and elongated hindgut, which expands into the rectum. Malpighian tubules attach at the beginning of the hindgut, which continues with the ileum, colon, and rectum and ends at the anus. The male reproductive tract includes a pair of testes, a pair of efferent ducts (vas efferentia), a pair of deferent ducts (vas deferentia), a pair of seminal vesicles, 2 pairs of accessory glands, and the ductus ejaculatorius, which extends into the ejaculatorius bulbus. The reproductive tract terminates with the aedeagus. The testes consist of 2 lobes, each containing numerous follicles where spermatogenesis and spermiogenesis occur. This study provides detailed insights into the anatomy and histology of the digestive and male reproductive tracts of Silpha obscura. These findings may lead to new strategies for controlling this agricultural pest. Understanding these structures is crucial for further research.

Abstract Aggression is an essential component of survival and fitness, although the expression of aggression behaviors can also carry fitness costs. As a result, aggressive behaviors vary significantly across animals and are likely acted on by natural selection to produce this variation. Aggression, and associated traits like nestmate discrimination, both complex traits, have well studied genetic components, with links to genes involved in processes like neuronal function, metabolism, and hormone and cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) production and reception. However, whether and how natural selection acts on these genes to produce variation across species is not fully understood. Using a comparative genomics approach, we analyzed natural selection in ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) with candidate genes previously linked to these traits. We find that aggression is associated with shifts in selection intensity, including positive selection on neurotransmitter receptors, and that ants with low levels of nestmate discrimination experience positive or relaxed selection on several CHC genes. Interestingly, we find that most candidate genes analyzed experience positive selection across ants, regardless of aggression level or discrimination ability. Our results shed new light on the means by which natural selection may act to produce variation in aggression across the ants.

Abstract Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle (Sapindales: Simaroubaceae) (tree-of-heaven) is an invasive tree species first introduced to the United States in 1784. With high rates of sexual reproduction, rapid growth, and prolific vegetative sprouting, A. altissima is an aggressive competitor that reduces native plant diversity and is difficult to manage beyond small-scale infestations. In the United States, the issues associated with Ailanthus management were compounded by the 2014 arrival of Lycorma delicatula (spotted lanternfly). Lycorma delicatula coevolved with A. altissima, its primary host, in eastern Asia. Suppression of A. altissima is recommended as an important strategy to slow the spread of L. delicatula. Due to the inadequacy of traditional control methods to manage A. altissima, biological controls are desired. Several potential biological control agents have been proposed for A. altissima. This review discusses current research on several promising candidates, specifically a native fungus, Verticillium nonalfalfae Inderb. et al. (Hypocreales: Plectosphaerellaceae); a trunk-boring beetle, Eucryptorrhynchus brandti (Harold) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Cryptorrhynchinae); and an eriophyid mite, Aculops ailanthi (Lin-Fuping, Jin-Changle &amp; Kuang-Haiya) (Arachnida: Eriphyidae). A list of other possible biological control agents is also provided. We discuss unanswered questions for each species, the limits of biological controls in this system, and call for further research on integrated pest management practices for managing A. altissima.

臭椿潜在生物防治方法综述

Abstract The soybean tentiform leafminer, Macrosaccus morrisella (Fitch) (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae), is a new potential pest of soybean; however, little is known about its biology. This study determined the number of instars, how to distinguish those instars, and how to differentiate the sexes of M. morrisella. Soybean plants oviposited on by M. morrisella in the laboratory were sampled daily to assess the development of the insects by measuring larval head capsule width, body length, and leaf area mined. Cages containing a subset of plants were then checked daily until the first emergence of adults. In addition, 20 pupae and resulting adults were sexed. The frequency distribution of head capsule widths of M. morrisella larvae showed 4 nonoverlapping peaks. However, examination of individuals comprising the third peak showed 2 distinct mouthpart morphologies, which were a sap-feeding 3rd instar and a tissue-feeding 4th instar with overlapping distributions of head capsule widths. Inspection of tentiform mines containing individual larvae revealed the presence of up to 4 shed head capsules, confirming the existence of 5 instars. Leaf area mined ranged from 0.28 to 498.45 mm2 per larva. Pupae of M. morrisella were sexually differentiated by observing the presence of the gonads through the cuticle in males and its absence in females, and this was confirmed by examination of the frenula of the resulting adults. This study fills an important gap in our understanding of M. morrisella biology, which is crucial for developing integrated management strategies for this potential pest of soybean in North America.
