“…243.5), their data was based on adults from pupae collected during a population outbreak. Thus, it is very likely that larvae would have experienced feeding restriction, which could affect adult traits, including fecundity (FANTINOU et al 2008). In fact, we found a strong positive correlation between pupal weight and total fecundity (r = 0.818, p < 0.01, d.f.…”

“…Lepidoptera accumulate reserves during larval development, and the adverse conditions in the process cause asynchrony with normal population which leads to problems with these insects' reproduction (Rodriguez andVendramim 1997, Matos et al 2006), fertility, and low performance of their offspring (Fantinou et al 2008). …”

Piper aduncum found naturally in the Amazon and southeastern Brazil, is known for its secondary metabolites that have activity on insects. Anticarsia gemmatalis and Spodoptera frugiperda are among the major insect pests associated with agricultural production. This research evaluated the biological activity of hexane, ethyl acetate, and ethanol extracts of P. aduncum leaves on mortality and duration of larval and pupal periods, as well as weight, width, and length of A. gemmatalis and S. frugiperda pupae. The mortality of A. gemmatalis larvae in trials with P. aduncum extracts were 93.3% (hexane) and 90% (ethyl acetate), estimating LC 50 of 6.35 and 5.79 mg/mL, respectively. Mortality in S. frugiperda submitted to the hexane extract ranged from 3.33% to 96.66% (LC 50 of 8.22 mg/mL). The ethanol extract induced low mortality (3.33% to 23.33%). The P. aduncum extracts did not affect the development of S. frugiperda pupae. In A. gemmatalis differences in weight and length occurred. The chemical characterization was by GC-MS, which revealed that the major constituent in the hexane extract of P. aduncum was apiol (90.7%). P. aduncum extracts are important and promising components to manage A. gemmatalis and S. frugiperda, which cause extensive production losses.

“…It can lead to phase variation in larval morphology, behavior, and metabolism (Luo et al 1993c, 1995b, Applebaum and Heifetz 1999. Life history strategies, including migration and reproductive traits, sometimes vary greatly depending on larval population density (Parker and Gatehouse 1985, Luo et al 1995a, Fantinou et al 2008, Zhang et al 2008b. Adults that develop from larvae under crowded conditions tend to be migrants, whereas those developing under more isolated conditions tend to be residents (McDonald and Cole 1991).…”

Effects of Larval Density on Flight Potential of the BeetWebworm,Loxostege sticticalis(Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)

et al. 2010

Tethered-flight techniques were used to investigate the flight potential of 1-d-old adult beet webworm, Loxostege sticticalis L. (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), reared at densities of1, 10, 20, 30, and 40 larvae per 650-ml jar. Larval density had a significant effect on the flight potential, including total flight duration, distance, average velocity, and longest flight duration. Adults reared at a density of 10 larvae per jar, and those reared in isolation displayed the greatest and poorest flight capacity,respectively, relative to the other density treatments. Larval density also significantly affected length of the preoviposition period. Females with longer preoviposition period usually showed greater flight potential, and preoviposition period was positively correlated with flight potential. Body weight, water content, and triglyceride content of the moths were significantly affected by larval density, whereas glycogen content was not. Triglyceride content of adults reared at the different larval densities corresponded to the observed differences inflight potential, whereas water content and body weight were not related to their flight potential. These results suggest that larval density exerts a significant influence on preoviposition period and triglyceride content, which in turn influence flight potential of adult L. sticticalis.
