However, use of insecticides, whether biological or synthetic compounds, is Pesticide often detrimental to natural enemies. By definition toxic to insects, insecticides may cause direct mortality of Physiological selectivity natural enemies, reduce food resources (prey/host), or disrupt behavioral and biological processes. Therefore, Ecological selectivity choosing a selective insecticide or selectively applying are important decisions for conserving natural enemies if Soybean insecticide is required. In situations where both insecticide and natural enemy do not share the same target pest, Cotton an additive outcome is expected and CBC can minimize pest outbreaks and resurgence. Given that new, selective insecticides are usually more expensive than older ones, using the former typically adds cost per treated area. Therefore, choosing a selective insecticide becomes a matter of benefits and costs, considering the cost compared to other available treatments and potential pest problems. Beyond the differential toxicity of selective in- secticides to natural enemy and target pest species, some human decisions may produce insecticide selectivity, including application of minimal effective rates, and spatiotemporal separation of nonselective insecticides and natural enemies. These concepts are discussed here using two major crop commodities in Brazil: soybean and cotton. We show that natural enemies and selective insecticides can be effectively combined to manage ar- thropod pest populations even in agroecosystems highly dependent on chemical control. 1.

Economic benefits for the environment and pest control are not easy to assess (Higley and Wintersenn, 1992; Pedigo and Higley, 1992), al- though some methodologies and considerations have been put forward lately for CBC specifically (Naranjo et al., 2015; Begg et al., 2017). It is best to consider incorporation of the natural enemy activity into the ET calculation (Ostlie and Pedigo, 1987; Brown, 1997; Hallett et al., 2014). After these influential methods, several studies have tried to produce sampling systems considering the densities of natural enemies or their activity in deciding thresholds (see references in Naranjo et al., 2015). However, insecticide choice for a multi-species situation likely will rely on broad-spectrum insecticide (hereafter nonselective). In fact, among all CBC practices, in conventional agricultural production systems, after exerting all other control tactics before the pest-species reaches den- sities or causes damage equivalent to the ET, the last option of CBC recommends selective insecticides or application methods to achieve ecological selectivity. Therefore, the CBC using selective insecticides presents some unique aspects: (1) CBC through selective insecticides is a scientifically supported de- cision based on studies elucidating interactions of insecticides and natural enemies, mostly insecticide and species-specific interaction; (2) CBC through selective insecticides is a management decision; it is strongly related to the adoption of ET and insecticide selection; (3) CBC through selective insecticides is an economic decision, given that selective insecticides may be more expensive than nonselective Fig. 1.

Gretscher1, Marco Groth2, Wilhelm Boland1, Antje Burse1* 1 Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology, Beutenberg Campus, Hans-Knoell-Str. 8, D-07745 Jena, Thuringia, Germany, 2 Leibniz Institute for Age Research – Fritz Lipmann Institute, Beutenbergstr. 11, D-07745 Jena, Thuringia, Germany Abstract Background: Insects evolved ingenious adaptations to use extraordinary food sources. Particularly, the diet of herbivores enriched with noxious plant secondary metabolites requires detoxification mechanisms. Sequestration, which involves the uptake, transfer, and concentration of occasionally modified phytochemicals into specialized tissues or hemolymph, is one of the most successful detoxification strategies found in most insect orders. Due to the ability of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) carriers to transport a wide range of molecules including phytochemicals and xenobiotics, it is highly likely that they play a role in this sequestration process. To shed light on the role of ABC proteins in sequestration, we describe an inventory of putative ABC transporters in various tissues in the sequestering juvenile poplar leaf beetle, Chrysomela populi. Results: In the transcriptome of C. populi, we predicted 65 ABC transporters. To link the proteins with a possible function, we performed comparative phylogenetic analyses with ABC transporters of other insects and of humans. While tissue- specific profiling of each ABC transporter subfamily suggests that ABCB, C and G influence the plant metabolite absorption in the gut, ABCC with 14 members is the preferred subfamily responsible for the excretion of these metabolites via Malpighian tubules.

E. Smith), which is a major destructive agricultural pest. Currently, this parasitoid is reared on Corcyra cephalonica (Stainton) eggs in several countries. However, previous studies carried out in China have reported that it cannot parasitize in C. cephalonica eggs. Meanwhile, those works have indicated that Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) can potentially be used as an alternative host. In order to evaluate this potential, our study compared the development and parasitism ability of T. remus on the eggs of S. frugiperda and S. litura at different temperatures in a laboratory. We found that S. litura eggs are more advantageous as an alternative host for the mass-rearing of parasitoid when compared with S. frugiperda eggs. Our results provide a more specific basis and reference for the large-scale Citation: Chen, W.; Li, Y.; Wang, M.; production and low temperature storage of T. remus. Mao, J.; Zhang, L.

Graduate Program in Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology ***** The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Norman F. Johnson, Advisor Dr. Johannes S. H. Klompen Dr. John V. Freudenstein Dr. Marymegan Daly Copyright by Charuwat Taekul 2012 ABSTRACT Wasps, Ants, Bees, and Sawflies one of the most familiar and important insects, are scientifically categorized in the order Hymenoptera. Parasitoid Hymenoptera display some of the most advanced biology of the order. Platygastroidea, one of the significant groups of parasitoid wasps, attacks host eggs more than 7 insect orders. Despite its success and importance, an understanding of this group is still unclear. I present here the world systematic revisions of two genera in Platygastroidea: Platyscelio Kieffer and Oxyteleia Kieffer, as well as introduce the first comprehensive molecular study of the most important subfamily in platygastroids as biological control benefit, Telenominae. For the systematic study of two Old World genera, I address the taxonomic history of the genus, identification key to species, as well as review the existing concepts and propose descriptive new species. Four new species of Platyscelio are discovered from South Africa, Western Australia, Botswana and Zimbabwe. Four species are considered to be junior synonyms of P. pulchricornis. Fron nine valid species of Oxyteleia, the new species are discovered throughout Indo-Malayan and Australasian regions in total of twenty-seven species. The genus Merriwa Dodd, 1920 is considered to be a new synonym.

    Egg parasitoids of stink bugs (Hemiptera: Coreidae and Pentatomidae) on soybean and cowpea in Brazil Antonio de Almeida Paz-Neto1, Ranyse B. Querino2,*, and Cecilia B. Margaría3 Abstract Parasitoids naturally attacking stink bug (Hemiptera: Coreidae and Pentatomidae) eggs and interactions with their hosts were recorded on soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merril; Fabales: Fabaceae) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.; Fabales: Fabaceae) host plants in Brazil. Egg masses of stink bugs collected from plant structures were observed daily until emergence of either parasitoids or bugs. Stink bugs were parasitized by 8 species of egg parasitoids: Trissolcus urichi Crawford, Trissolcus teretis Johnson, Trissolcus bodkini Crawford, Telenomus podisi Ashmead, Phanuropsis semiflaviven- tris Girault (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae), Neorileya flavipes Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae), Ooencyrtus anasae (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae), andAnastatus sp. (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae). Trissolcus urichi, Te. podisi, O. anasae, and N. flavipes parasitized eggs of 2 or more spe- cies of stink bugs, andTr. urichi and Te. podisi were the most generalist. Phanuropsis semiflaviventris, Tr. teretis, Tr. bodkini, and Anastatus sp. showed specialist behavior, because each of them parasitized only 1 species of stink bug.
