BOTANICAL INSECTICIDES, DETERRENTS, AND REPELLENTS IN MODERN AGRICULTURE AND AN INCREASINGLY REGULATED WORLD
Tập 51 Số 1 - Trang 45-66 - 2006
▪ Abstract Botanical insecticides have long been touted as attractive
alternatives to synthetic chemical insecticides for pest management because
botanicals reputedly pose little threat to the environment or to human health.
The body of scientific literature documenting bioactivity of plant derivatives
to arthropod pests continues to expand, yet only a handful of botanicals are
currently used in ...
The Sublethal Effects of Pesticides on Beneficial Arthropods
Tập 52 Số 1 - Trang 81-106 - 2007
Traditionally, measurement of the acute toxicity of pesticides to beneficial
arthropods has relied largely on the determination of an acute median lethal
dose or concentration. However, the estimated lethal dose during acute toxicity
tests may only be a partial measure of the deleterious effects. In addition to
direct mortality induced by pesticides, their sublethal effects on arthropod
physiology...
Insect Fat Body: Energy, Metabolism, and Regulation
Tập 55 Số 1 - Trang 207-225 - 2010
The fat body plays major roles in the life of insects. It is a dynamic tissue
involved in multiple metabolic functions. One of these functions is to store and
release energy in response to the energy demands of the insect. Insects store
energy reserves in the form of glycogen and triglycerides in the adipocytes, the
main fat body cell. Insect adipocytes can store a great amount of lipid reserves
a...
Ecology of Infochemical Use by Natural Enemies in a Tritrophic Context
Tập 37 Số 1 - Trang 141-172 - 1992
Potential of Insects as Food and Feed in Assuring Food Security
Tập 58 Số 1 - Trang 563-583 - 2013
With a growing world population and increasingly demanding consumers, the
production of sufficient protein from livestock, poultry, and fish represents a
serious challenge for the future. Approximately 1,900 insect species are eaten
worldwide, mainly in developing countries. They constitute quality food and
feed, have high feed conversion ratios, and emit low levels of greenhouse gases.
Some insec...
Insecticide Resistance in Insect Vectors of Human Disease
Tập 45 Số 1 - Trang 371-391 - 2000
▪ Abstract Insecticide resistance is an increasing problem in many insect
vectors of disease. Our knowledge of the basic mechanisms underlying resistance
to commonly used insecticides is well established. Molecular techniques have
recently allowed us to start and dissect most of these mechanisms at the DNA
level. The next major challenge will be to use this molecular understanding of
resistance t...
Can Generalist Predators be Effective Biocontrol Agents?
Tập 47 Số 1 - Trang 561-594 - 2002
▪ Abstract Theoretical developments are helping us to comprehend the basic
parameters governing the dynamics of the interactions between generalist
predators and their many pest and nonpest prey. In practice, however, inter- and
intraspecific interactions between generalist predators, and between the
predators and their prey, within multispecies systems under the influence of
rapidly changing bio...
Odorant Reception in Insects: Roles of Receptors, Binding Proteins, and Degrading Enzymes
Tập 58 Số 1 - Trang 373-391 - 2013
Our knowledge of the molecular basis of odorant reception in insects has grown
exponentially over the past decade. Odorant receptors (ORs) from moths, fruit
flies, mosquitoes, and the honey bees have been deorphanized, odorant-degrading
enzymes (ODEs) have been isolated, and the functions of odorant-binding proteins
(OBPs) have been unveiled. OBPs contribute to the sensitivity of the olfactory
sys...
Sustainability of Transgenic Insecticidal Cultivars: Integrating Pest Genetics and Ecology
Tập 43 Số 1 - Trang 701-726 - 1998
▪ Abstract This review examines potential impacts of transgenic cultivars on
insect population dynamics and evolution. Experience with classically bred,
insecticidal cultivars has demonstrated that a solid understanding of both the
target insect's ecology and the cultivar's performance under varied field
conditions will be essential for predicting area-wide effects of transgenic
cultivars on pest...
LIFE-STYLES OF PHYTOSEIID MITES AND THEIR ROLES IN BIOLOGICAL CONTROL
Tập 42 Số 1 - Trang 291-321 - 1997
▪ Abstract This review categorizes the diversity of life-styles in the
Phytoseiidae, based primarily on food habits and related biological and
morphological traits. The life-styles proposed are as follows: Type I,
specialized predators of Tetranychus species represented by the Phytoseiulus
species; Type II, selective predators of tetranychid mites (most frequently
associated with species that pro...
