Effects of heat shock on survival and reproduction of Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) adults

Antioxidant responses of Propylaea japonica (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) exposed to high temperature stress

“…All ladybeetle adults were killed at 43°C; however, at 41°C the survival rate still was 61.5%. This result is consistent with previous reports of decreased survival of phytophagous insects during increasing temperatures (Cui et al, 2008;Mironidis and Savopoulou-Soultani, 2010;Nyamukondiwa et al, 2013;Park and Kwak, 2014). P. japonica can survive a wide range of temperatures, does not undergo estivation, and remains active from spring to autumn (Kawauchi, 1997;Zhang et al, 2004).…”

Ecologically relevant measures of the physiological tolerance of light brown apple moth, Epiphyas postvittana, to high temperature extremes

“…The lack of difference in LT 50 values between females and males of E. postvittana at ecologically relevant high temperatures in our study has also been found for Helicover paarmigera (Mironidis and Savopoulou-Soultani, 2010), Ceratitis capitata and Ceratitis rosa (Nyamukondiwa and Terblanche, 2009) and for four desert species of Drosophila (Strataman and Markow, 1998). In contrast, significant gender differences for high temperature tolerance have been documented for Frankliniella occidentalis (Li et al, 2011), Bactroceraoleae (Pappas et al, 2010), Drosophila melanogaster (Folk et al, 2006) and Aphidius rhopalosiphi and Aphidius avenae (LeLann et al, 2011).…”

Stage-specific heat effects: timing and duration of heat waves alter demographic rates of a global insect pest

“…However, persistent carry-over effects of exposure to hot temperature at early life-stages do not always occur (Huey et al 1995;Potter et al 2011;Xing et al 2014). Exposure to high temperatures during the adult stage may also limit mating performances (Katsuki and Miyatake 2009;Mironidis and Savopoulou-Soultani 2010), egg maturation (Berger et al 2008) and oviposition pattern (Berger et al 2008;Zhang et al 2013), which in turn could alter the temperature effects during early life-stages.…”
