Pear psyllid (Cacopsylla pyri) is a persistent pest to the pear industry; with an estimated cost of £5 million per annum in the UK alone. This phloem feeding insect is resistant to a large proportion of approved pesticides, necessitating the use of alternative control strategies. Many pear growers practice integrated pest management (IPM) of pear psyllid, focusing on maximizing natural enemy populations, whilst minimizing the use of agrochemical sprays. The anthocorid Anthocoris nemoralis and the European earwig Forficula auricularia are particularly effective at controlling pear psyllid populations during the summer months. Despite the effectiveness of both natural enemies, there is a lack of understanding on whether both species should be promoted together or separately, due to the risk of intraguild predation (IGP) or interference competition. Furthermore, abiotic factors including temperature may influence both behaviors, altering activity level and niche overlap. Although IGP and interference competition have been documented between multiple species of natural enemies neither have been studied between these two specific predators. Using microcosm experiments, olfactometer assays and survival analyses this study demonstrated whether A. nemoralis and F. auricularia can be used in synchrony to control pear psyllid. Results indicated that IGP is present; F. auricularia will consume A. nemoralis when predators are not spatially separate and in absence of psyllid prey. There was no evidence for interference competition, although both predators consumed more prey at higher temperatures. This confirms that pear growers can encourage both predators for the control of pear psyllid without losing predation efficacy.

梨木虱(Cacopsylla pyri)是梨产业的一种顽固害虫,仅在英国,每年的虫害损失估计就达 500 万英镑。这种以韧皮部为食的昆虫对大部分已获批准的杀虫剂具有抗药性,因此必须使用替代控制策略。许多梨树种植者对梨木虱实行虫害综合防治(IPM),重点是最大限度地增加天敌数量,同时最大限度地减少农用化学品喷洒的使用。炭疽天敌 Anthocoris nemoralis 和欧洲蠼 Forficula auricularia 在夏季控制梨木虱的数量特别有效。尽管这两种天敌都很有效,但由于存在虫群内捕食(IGP)或干扰竞争的风险,人们对这两种天敌是应该同时推广还是分开推广还缺乏了解。此外,包括温度在内的非生物因素可能会影响这两种行为,改变活动水平和生态位重叠。虽然多种天敌之间的IGP和干扰竞争都有记录,但这两种特定捕食者之间的IGP和干扰竞争都没有被研究过。本研究利用微生态环境实验、嗅觉测定和存活率分析,证明了是否可以同时使用 A. nemoralis 和 F. auricularia 来控制梨木虱。结果表明,IGP 是存在的;当捕食者在空间上不分开且没有梨木虱猎物时,F. auricularia 会吃掉 A. nemoralis。虽然两种捕食者在较高温度下会消耗更多的猎物,但没有证据表明存在干扰竞争。这证明梨树种植者可以鼓励两种捕食者同时控制梨木虱,而不会失去捕食效果。

Scientists have long studied the unexpected resistance of eusocial insect colonies to pathogen and parasitic threats. Despite having many closely related individuals living in proximity, these colonies have shown the ability to persist for long periods of time without epidemic collapse. Previous studies have theorized a variety of reasons for their ability to withstand chronic infections including the conveyor belt model and task specialization. The impact of each of these different strategies and the synergy between them is unknown. Testing the impact of each strategy experimentally may be difficult and time consuming. This paper examines the impact of five (5) strategies used by Camponotus rufipes to endure a chronic infection from Ophiocordyceps camponoti-rufipedis, a fungal infection which results in “zombie ants.” These five strategies are to avoid areas with increased numbers of spores, prevent completion of the fungal lifecycle within the nest, use specialized workers, separate groups within the nest, and invest less in forager immune response. A full factorial analysis of the strategies is performed through an agent-based model by selectively turning “off” each of the strategies. The contribution of this work is two-fold. First, a conceptual model for C. rufipes is presented. Synthesizing the current literature, the result is a tool for modeling colony behavior. Secondly, the output of the model indicates the role of each strategy in preventing fungal disease propagation in the colony and the interaction effects between the strategies. Analysis includes a 5-way ANOVA with interaction effects, post-hoc testing, and effect size measurements. Significant findings include that the strategy of minimizing the chance of fungal infection and preventing the fungus from completing its life cycle within the nest are the most important. When these strategies were disabled, 100% of colony collapse occurred. Additionally, the use of the conveyor belt approach (the use of older ants to forage) had a negligible effect on colony survival. Interaction effects between the five strategies are also presented. The results of this work highlight the synergies between the strategies used to prevent O. camponoti-rufipedis propagation, guide future experimentation on this species, and provide additional information for those seeking to use this species as a source of biologically inspired design.

长期以来,科学家们一直在研究群居昆虫对病原体和寄生虫威胁的意外抵抗力。尽管有许多关系密切的个体生活在一起,但这些群落仍能长期存在而不发生流行性崩溃。以前的研究提出了它们能够抵御慢性感染的各种原因,包括传送带模式和任务专业化。这些不同策略的影响以及它们之间的协同作用尚不清楚。通过实验测试每种策略的影响可能既困难又耗时。本文研究了红腹角雉(Camponotus rufipes)在忍受 Ophiocordyceps camponoti-rufipedis (一种导致 "僵尸蚂蚁 "的真菌感染)慢性感染时所使用的五(5)种策略的影响。这五种策略是:避开孢子数量增加的区域;防止真菌生命周期在巢内完成;使用专门的工蚁;在巢内分群;减少对觅食者免疫反应的投资。通过一个基于代理的模型,选择性地 "关闭 "每种策略,对这些策略进行了全面的因子分析。这项工作有两方面的贡献。首先,提出了一个 C. rufipes 的概念模型。该模型综合了当前的文献资料,是模拟虫群行为的工具。其次,该模型的输出结果表明了每种策略在防止真菌疾病在虫群中传播方面的作用以及策略之间的交互作用。分析包括带有交互效应的 5 方方差分析、事后检验和效应大小测量。重要发现包括:最大限度地减少真菌感染机会和防止真菌在巢内完成其生命周期的策略最为重要。当这些策略失效时,100% 的蜂群都会崩溃。此外,使用传送带方法(利用老龄蚂蚁觅食)对蚁群存活率的影响微乎其微。研究还显示了五种策略之间的交互作用。这项工作的结果强调了用于防止 O. camponoti-rufipedis 繁殖的各种策略之间的协同作用,为今后有关该物种的实验提供了指导,并为那些寻求利用该物种作为生物灵感设计来源的人提供了更多信息。

In response to physical damage, organisms must balance recovery with adaptive responses to other environmental stressors. Understanding how damage and repair influence adaptive responses to high environmental temperatures is of particular interest in light of global climate change. We investigate the impact of damage and subsequent repair on heat-avoidance behaviors in Cydia saltitans larvae using host seeds (Sebastiania pavoniana) as protective structures (together colloquially known as “Mexican jumping beans”). These larvae perform temperature-dependent “jumping” or “rolling” behaviors to escape extreme heat, which are crucial for larval survival in their native arid and hot subtropical dry forests. Due to possible costs of repair and limited energetic resources, we hypothesized that experiencing damage and investing in subsequent repair to a host seed would reduce larval displacement distance from extreme heat when compared to individuals that experienced damage without repairing the host seed, or the undamaged control group. Results suggest that larvae in control conditions exhibited greater displacement from heat compared to those in either damage treatment group. Contrary to predictions, damage and subsequent repair impaired heat avoidance behavior to same extent as damage without investing in repair. This reduced displacement distance in both damage treatment groups may be linked to energy allocation or an adaptive antipredator response. These findings contribute to our understanding of how environmental stressors interact to shape behavioral responses in insects with “extended architecture.” As global temperatures rise, insights into the flexibility of adaptive behaviors are increasingly crucial.

在应对物理损伤时,生物必须在恢复与对其他环境压力的适应性反应之间取得平衡。鉴于全球气候变化,了解损伤和修复如何影响对高环境温度的适应性反应尤为重要。我们研究了以宿主种子(Sebastiania pavoniana)为保护结构(俗称 "墨西哥跳豆")的矢车菊幼虫的损伤和后续修复对避热行为的影响。这些幼虫会做出与温度有关的 "跳跃 "或 "滚动 "行为,以躲避极端高温,这对幼虫在其原生干旱和炎热的亚热带干燥森林中的生存至关重要。由于可能的修复成本和有限的能量资源,我们假设,与经历损害但未修复寄主种子的个体或未受损的对照组相比,经历损害并投资于随后修复寄主种子的个体将减少幼虫在极端高温下的迁移距离。结果表明,与任何一个受损处理组相比,对照条件下的幼虫表现出更大的高温位移。与预测相反的是,受到损害并随后进行修复的幼虫的避热行为与没有进行修复的幼虫的避热行为受到的损害程度相同。两个损伤处理组中位移距离的减少可能与能量分配或适应性反捕食者反应有关。这些发现有助于我们理解环境压力因素如何相互作用,从而影响具有 "扩展结构 "的昆虫的行为反应。随着全球气温的升高,了解适应行为的灵活性越来越重要。

Death feigning is thought to have evolved primarily as a predator avoidance behavior, and has been reported in 10 of the 31 orders of insects. However, there have been no reports of death-feigning behavior in Mecoptera species. We found that larvae of two scorpionfly species, Panorpa japonica and P. pryeri, showed death feigning in response to external stimuli by brush poking stimulation. First, we examined the frequencies of death-feigning postures. The two species showed two different postures of death feigning, “straight” and “ball.” Most of the 1st instar larvae of P. japonica and P. pryeri adopted the straight death-feigning posture. Next, we examined duration of death feigning. As the larval instar progressed, the death-feigning posture shifted from straight to ball in both Panorpa species. In P. japonica, the longest durations of death feigning were found in the 2nd to 3rd instars, while the longest duration of death feigning was found in the late 4th instar in P. pryeri larvae.

佯死被认为主要是作为一种躲避捕食者的行为进化而来的,在 31 个昆虫目中有 10 个目有过佯死的报道。然而,目前还没有关于鞘翅目昆虫佯死行为的报道。我们发现,两种蝎蝇(Panorpa japonica 和 P. pryeri)的幼虫在受到外部刺激时,会通过刷戳刺激表现出佯死行为。首先,我们研究了装死姿势的频率。这两个物种表现出两种不同的佯死姿势,即 "直 "和 "球"。大多数粳稻和杓鹬的1龄幼虫都采用了 "直 "佯死姿势。接下来,我们研究了佯装死亡的持续时间。随着幼虫龄期的增加,两种Panorpa的佯死姿势都从直的转变为球的。在 P. japonica 中,死亡假动作持续时间最长的是 2-3 龄幼虫,而在 P. pryeri 幼虫中,死亡假动作持续时间最长的是 4 龄后期。

Chironomidae (Diptera) are one of the most abundant aquatic insects in freshwater habitats and play key roles in aquatic ecosystems. Many studies have assessed chironomid longevity under varying conditions to estimate potential consequences of climate change on longevity. However, these studies did not account for behavioral changes that may affect the ability of chironomids to find a mate or return to the water for oviposition. Longevity estimates may therefore underestimate the effects of climate change on chironomids by neglecting behavior-related fitness losses. To better understand how chironomid behaviors relate to survivorship, we used previously identified behaviors to determine how behavior patterns changed as the chironomid Diamesa mendotae aged. We found that D. mendotae exhibited age-related behaviors that correlated with a decrease in mobility over time. Additionally, behaviors performed early post-collection in D. mendotae adult lifespans were predictive of total chironomid longevity. These findings will help improve estimates of chironomid longevity and our understanding of age-related behaviors in other invertebrates. Improved methods for determining longevity and age-specific fitness-linked behaviors will allow us to better understand climate change’s impacts on aquatic insect survival and reproduction, which has broad ramifications for the aquatic ecosystems where they are abundant.

摇蚊(双翅目)是淡水生境中数量最多的水生昆虫之一,在水生生态系统中发挥着关键作用。许多研究评估了摇蚊在不同条件下的寿命,以估计气候变化对寿命的潜在影响。然而,这些研究并未考虑可能影响摇蚊寻找配偶或返回水中产卵能力的行为变化。因此,对寿命的估计可能会低估气候变化对摇蚊的影响,因为它们忽略了与行为相关的体能损失。为了更好地了解摇蚊的行为与存活率之间的关系,我们利用之前确定的行为来确定摇蚊Diamesa mendotae的行为模式是如何随着年龄的增长而变化的。我们发现,D. mendotae表现出与年龄相关的行为,这些行为与随着时间推移移动性降低有关。此外,D. mendotae成虫采集后早期的行为还能预测摇蚊的总寿命。这些发现将有助于提高对摇蚊寿命的估计以及我们对其他无脊椎动物与年龄相关行为的理解。改进寿命和与年龄相关的行为的测定方法,将使我们能够更好地了解气候变化对水生昆虫生存和繁殖的影响,这对它们大量存在的水生生态系统具有广泛的影响。

Nutritional Status Does Not Restrict Foraging Activity and Web Investment in a Shelter-Building Spider Species, But Individuals are More Risk-Prone at Night 营养状况不会限制建棚蜘蛛的觅食活动和蜘蛛网投资,但个体在夜间更易遭受风险

Optimal foraging and individual specialization theories suggest that different properties of the interactions between prey and predators determine foraging strategies. However, none of these theories consider how the nutritional status of the predators and the risk of being attacked by other predators may affect prey foraging strategy. Shelter-building spiders, such as Metazygia laticeps (Araneidae), build webs as dynamic traps to capture prey and may optimize capture efficiency while adopting strategies to minimize their exposure to predators by building a shelter and staying inside it most of the time. Prey capture, however, involves leaving the shelter, which may contribute to an increased risk of predation. Individuals may be more likely to take risks when they are in poor nutritional status. In this study, we conducted field experiments to assess support for the hypotheses that M. laticeps spiders with poor nutritional status (i) expose themselves to greater risk of predation during foraging and (ii) invest more silk in different web structures to increase prey capture success. Nutritional state was unrelated to exposure to predation and did not restrict web investment in M. laticeps. However, spiders left the shelter more quickly at night than during the day, regardless of their nutritional state. We suggest that individual’s nutritional state does not determine foraging, and predation risk can affect general activity of spiders depending on foraging period.

最佳觅食和个体特化理论认为,猎物与捕食者之间相互作用的不同特性决定了觅食策略。然而,这些理论都没有考虑捕食者的营养状况和被其他捕食者攻击的风险会如何影响猎物的觅食策略。建造庇护所的蜘蛛,如Metazygia laticeps(鹤蛛科),建造蜘蛛网作为捕获猎物的动态陷阱,并可能通过建造庇护所和大部分时间呆在庇护所内的策略,优化捕获效率,同时尽量减少暴露于捕食者的机会。然而,捕获猎物需要离开庇护所,这可能会增加捕食的风险。当个体营养状况较差时,它们可能更愿意冒险。在这项研究中,我们进行了野外实验,以评估营养状况不良的花斑蛛(i)在觅食过程中面临更大的捕食风险和(ii)在不同的蛛网结构中投入更多的蛛丝以提高捕获猎物成功率的假设是否成立。营养状况与捕食风险无关,也不限制花斑蛛对网的投资。然而,无论营养状况如何,蜘蛛在夜间比白天更快离开庇护所。我们认为,个体的营养状况并不决定觅食行为,捕食风险会根据觅食时间影响蜘蛛的一般活动。

Shelter-building spiders, such as <i>Metazygia laticeps</i> (Araneidae), build webs as dynamic traps to capture prey and may optimize capture efficiency while adopting strategies to minimize their exposure to predators by building a shelter and staying inside it most of the time. Prey capture, however, involves leaving the shelter, which may contribute to an increased risk of predation. Individuals may be more likely to take risks when they are in poor nutritional status. In this study, we conducted field experiments to assess support for the hypotheses that <i>M. laticeps</i> spiders with poor nutritional status (i) expose themselves to greater risk of predation during foraging and (ii) invest more silk in different web structures to increase prey capture success. Nutritional state was unrelated to exposure to predation and did not restrict web investment in <i>M. laticeps</i>. However, spiders left the shelter more quickly at night than during the day, regardless of their nutritional state. We suggest that individual’s nutritional state does not determine foraging, and predation risk can affect general activity of spiders depending on foraging period.</p>","PeriodicalId":16180,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Insect Behavior","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141737285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We explored the potential of differences in foraging preferences to contribute to long-term species coexistence in aquatic predatory hemipterans. We hypothesized that predatory hemipterans would have distinct foraging preferences informed by their morphology. We used a prey choice experiment to test whether Belostoma flumineum, Pelocoris biimpressus, and Ranatra australis differed in their relative preferences of amphipod, damselfly naiad, and physid snail prey. We discovered that the predators showed complementarity in their foraging preferences with B. flumineum preferring snails, P. biimpressus damselfly naiads and R. australis amphipods as prey. Our results suggest that the disparate foraging preferences of aquatic hemipterans may facilitate their coexistence in aquatic systems but caution that studies need to explore whether patterns uncovered in the laboratory experiment reflect interactions in nature.

我们探讨了觅食偏好的差异对水生食肉半翅目动物长期物种共存的潜在影响。我们假设,捕食性半翅类动物会根据其形态而具有不同的觅食偏好。我们使用了一个猎物选择实验来检验Belostoma flumineum、Pelocoris biimpressus和Ranatra australis是否在对两足类、豆娘类和笠螺类猎物的相对偏好上存在差异。我们发现,捕食者的觅食偏好具有互补性,B. flumineum偏好蜗牛,P. biimpressus偏好豆娘,R. australis偏好片脚类动物。我们的研究结果表明,水生半翅目昆虫不同的觅食偏好可能会促进它们在水生系统中的共存,但需要注意的是,研究需要探索实验室实验中发现的模式是否反映了自然界中的相互作用。

Where a female lays her eggs has strong implications for the survival of her offspring, an impetus that takes on particular significance for species that exhibit highly specific requirements. The preference-performance (optimal oviposition) hypothesis predicts that an individual will place its eggs where the resulting offspring experience their highest success. We assessed the spatial patterns of ovipositioning of the rare, monophagous Harris’ checkerspot butterfly (Chlosyne harrisii: Nymphalidae) and related this pattern to the survival of their early offspring, and the initial foraging-site decisions of the young. Harris’ checkerspots laid their egg masses exclusively on flat-topped white asters (Doellingeria umbellata: Asteraceae), exhibiting a strong preference for tall plants (> 40 cm). However, they frequently laid multiple egg masses on a single plant, seemingly contradicting the preference-performance hypothesis, since even a single brood usually consumed all the leaves of its natal plant, eventually forcing the caterpillars to find another host plant. Larvae in the second instar recruiting to their next aster experienced extremely high losses, though some individuals usually managed to locate the closest site. Accordingly, the average success of single broods on a foodplant significantly exceeded that of multiple ones. We thus found little evidence that plant characteristics associated with oviposition choice benefitted overall survival. Although occasional second broods prevailed over first broods, they typically had fewer food resources than on an unoccupied plant. This study presents an apparent conundrum for the preference performance hypothesis with potential implications for the conservation of this rare butterfly.

雌性动物在哪里产卵对其后代的生存有很大的影响,这对那些有高度特殊要求的物种来说具有特别重要的意义。偏好-表现(最佳产卵)假说预测,个体会将卵产在所产后代成功率最高的地方。我们评估了稀有的单食性哈里斯方格斑蝶(Chlosyne harrisii: Nymphalidae)产卵的空间模式,并将这种模式与其早期后代的存活率以及幼蝶最初的觅食地点决定联系起来。哈里斯棋盘蝶只在平顶白菊(Doellingeria umbellata: Asteraceae)上产卵,并表现出对高大植物(40厘米)的强烈偏好。然而,它们经常在一株植物上产下多个卵块,这似乎与偏好-表现假说相矛盾,因为即使是一个卵块也通常会消耗掉其原生植物的所有叶子,最终迫使毛虫寻找另一种寄主植物。第二龄幼虫在寻找下一个寄主时损失极高,尽管有些个体通常能找到最近的寄主。因此,单窝幼虫在一株食物植物上的平均成功率大大超过多窝幼虫。因此,我们发现几乎没有证据表明,与产卵选择相关的植物特征有利于总体存活率。虽然偶尔会有第二窝雏鸟胜过第一窝雏鸟,但它们获得的食物资源通常少于未被占用的植物。这项研究为偏好表现假说提出了一个明显的难题,对这种稀有蝴蝶的保护具有潜在的影响。
