The endemic North American praying mantid, Brunneria borealis Scudder (1896), is obligatorily parthenogenic and wingless. The species is both geographically widespread, distributed over an essentially continuous pericoastal range of more than 2,400 km from eastern Texas to central North Carolina, and abundant in early-stage successional old fields. We used mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) analysis to examine the genetic similarities among specimens of this insect and collected from 7 states along this range of distribution. We found no variations in the mitochondrial COI gene, which suggests that this wide geographic distribution of the species is surprisingly recent. We hypothesize that its obligatory parthenogenic status may be an accident of colonization of North America by a single facultative parthenogenic female, and the subsequent distribution was most likely achieved by inadvertent human transport.

Accurate sampling of pests is the foundation of pest management. Choosing the best trap for pest monitoring can be complex, however, because trap performance is affected by pest preferences and behaviors. Moreover, preservation of DNA in traps is a consideration when insect specimens are used in molecular assays, such as the detection of insect-borne pathogens. We assessed the efficiency of 2 trap designs and 2 trap placements on the capture of beet leafhopper, Circulifer tenellus (Baker) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), vector of “Candidatus Phytoplasma trifolii” and Beet curly top virus. Trap designs included standard yellow sticky cards and 3D-printed traps that capture insects directly in a DNA preservative. We found that yellow sticky cards captured more adults than did 3D-printed traps during summer months but captured fewer adults during autumn when leafhoppers move to overwintering sites. 3D-printed traps captured more nymphs than sticky cards, regardless of season, and traps hung at ground level captured more nymphs and adults compared to traps at 1-m height. Contrary to predictions, we did not find differences between trap types in the molecular detection of Ca. P. trifolii or Beet curly top virus, perhaps because 3D-printed traps captured few leafhoppers during summer when the pathogen rates were highest. Our results suggest behavioral differences in C. tenellus trap preference based on seasonality and life stage and underscore the importance of understanding insect behaviors when choosing trap designs for pest monitoring as well as for properly interpreting trap capture data.
害虫的准确取样是害虫管理的基础。然而，选择用于害虫监测的最佳诱捕器可能很复杂，因为诱捕器的性能受害虫喜好和行为的影响。此外，当昆虫标本用于分子检测（如检测昆虫传播的病原体）时，诱捕器中 DNA 的保存也是一个考虑因素。我们评估了 2 种诱捕器设计和 2 种诱捕器放置方式捕获甜菜叶蝉 Circulifer tenellus (Baker) （半翅目：Cicadellidae）的效率，甜菜叶蝉是 "Candidatus Phytoplasma trifolii "和甜菜卷曲顶病毒的传播媒介。诱捕器设计包括标准的黄色粘卡和直接在 DNA 防腐剂中捕获昆虫的 3D 打印诱捕器。我们发现，在夏季，黄色粘虫卡比三维打印诱捕器捕获更多成虫，但在秋季叶蝉转移到越冬地点时，黄色粘虫卡捕获的成虫较少。无论哪个季节，3D打印诱捕器都比粘虫卡捕获更多若虫，而悬挂在地面上的诱捕器比悬挂在1米高处的诱捕器捕获更多若虫和成虫。与预测相反，我们没有发现不同类型的诱捕器在分子检测 Ca.与预测相反，我们没有发现不同类型的诱捕器在三叶叶蝉或甜菜卷曲病毒的分子检测上存在差异，这可能是因为三维打印诱捕器在夏季病原体发生率最高的时候捕获的叶蝉很少。我们的研究结果表明，基于季节性和生命阶段，C. tenellus 对诱捕器的偏好存在行为差异，并强调了在选择用于害虫监测的诱捕器设计时了解昆虫行为的重要性，以及正确解释诱捕器捕获数据的重要性。

Ants are common in agroecosystems, where they can significantly impact agricultural production and yield through interactions with other organisms. By regulating crop-damaging insects and occasionally pollinating flowers, ants provide ecosystem services. However, ants can harm crops through herbivory, tending hemipterans, eating beneficial arthropods, or vectoring disease. In this review, we provide an overview of the roles played by ants in agroecosystems through their interactions with other species. We categorize ant species interactions as beneficial or harmful, direct or indirect, and address the importance of context-dependency. In addition to reviewing the role of ant-mediated biological interactions in agroecosystems, we discuss management implications that should be considered when supporting or suppressing ants. This article provides new insights and suggests promising directions for utilizing ants to implement more sustainable agricultural practices in agroecosystems across the globe. We propose that ants play critical roles in agroecosystems through their interactions with other organisms and should be considered when making management decisions.

Pollinators are critical for agricultural production and food security, leading to many ongoing surveys of pollinators (especially bees) in crop and adjacent landscapes. These surveys have become increasingly important to better understand the community of potential pollinators, quantify relative insect abundance, and secure crop ecosystem services. However, as some bee populations are declining, there is a need to align and improve bee survey efforts, so that they can best meet research and conservation goals, particularly in light of the logistical and financial constraints of conducting such studies. Here, we mined the existing literature on bee surveys in or around agricultural lands to better understand how sampling methods can be optimized to maximize estimates of 2 key measures of bee communities (abundance and richness). After reviewing 72 papers spanning 20 yr of publication, we found that study duration, number of sites, sampling time, and sampling method most significantly influenced abundance, while the number of trips per year and collection method significantly influenced richness. Our analysis helps to derive thresholds, priorities, and recommendations that can be applied to future studies describing bee communities in agroecosystems.

Insect-induced galls are novel structures that serve as habitat to whole communities of associate arthropods that include predators, parasitoids, and inquilines. Galling insects are generally under-described, but their associate communities, which can include many specialist organisms, are virtually unknown, particularly in the southwest United States. Aciurina bigeloviae (Cockerell 1890) and Aciurina trixa Curran 1932 (Diptera: Tephritidae) are unusually common and abundant galling flies in New Mexico. The 2 species are sister and occur in sympatric areas but have distinct gall morphologies. We reared all arthropods from 3,800 galls from 14 sites in the northern and central regions of the state and as a result characterized the complete communities of both species, including barcode sequences and eclosion phenology. We also investigate interactions of A. trixa galls with the abundant inquiline weevil Anthonomus cycliferus Fall 1913 (Coleoptera: Circulionidae) and find no measurable effect of inquiline abundance on the size of the emerged adult fly or gall. The total species count is 24 and includes 6 guilds; both A. bigeloviae and A. trixa communities are richer and more complex than other documented Tephritidae–Asteraceae galling systems. This study highlights the potential of galling insects as ecosystem engineers to maintain large, rich, and multi-trophic communities.
昆虫诱发的虫瘿是一种新型结构，可作为包括捕食者、寄生虫和绻虫在内的整个节肢动物群落的栖息地。一般来说，对虫瘿的描述较少，但其伴生群落（可能包括许多专门生物）却几乎不为人知，尤其是在美国西南部。Aciurina bigeloviae（Cockerell，1890 年）和 Aciurina trixa Curran，1932 年（双翅目：栉蝇科）是新墨西哥州异常常见和大量的瘿蚊。这两个物种是姊妹物种，出现在同域，但有不同的虫瘿形态。我们从该州北部和中部地区的 14 个地点的 3,800 个虫瘿中饲养了所有节肢动物，从而确定了这两个物种的完整群落特征，包括条形码序列和羽化物候学。我们还研究了 A. trixa虫瘿与丰富的inquiline象鼻虫Anthonomus cycliferus Fall 1913（鞘翅目：Circulionidae）之间的相互作用，发现inquiline的丰富程度对出现的成蝇或虫瘿的大小没有可测量的影响。总物种数为 24 种，包括 6 个类群；与其他有文献记载的 Tephritidae-Asteraceae 类瘿蚊系统相比，A. bigeloviae 和 A. trixa 群落更为丰富和复杂。这项研究凸显了取胆昆虫作为生态系统工程师在维持大型、丰富和多营养群落方面的潜力。
