“…The red ßour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), is a serious pest of stored cereals and grains during all stages of food distribution, infesting warehouses, elevators, mills, food processing plants, bakeries, and retail stores (Campbell et al 2004); thus, this beetle often inhabits different food types and food patches that differ widely in their nutritional quality. Therefore, it provides an excellent system to address questions about inßuence of nutritional quality on development and reproduction.…”

Tribolium beetles have evolved over several thousand years to colonize and exploit various food products that vary widely in their nutritional quality. Here Tribolium castaneum was used as a model organism to explore the effect of nutritional quality on male development and reproduction. The results showed, when tested across different qualities of nutritional diets, Tribolium males developed faster and their body size was larger on a high-quality diet, and there were significant correlations between male developmental traits. However, Tribolium males fed different nutritional diets did not show significant variation in olfactory attractiveness, mating rate, insemination rate, sperm defense (P1), sperm offense (P2), and reproductive success within a population context (RSPC). Moreover, there was no significant correlation of male reproductive performances except RSPC with developmental traits, and except for P2 and RSPC, no significant correlations between male reproductive performances. Therefore, although male developmental performance was significantly influenced by diet quality, reproductive performance was not. We discussed these findings and their sexual selection implications in light of its habitat.

“…In recent years there has been increased interest in the use of insect growth regulators (IGRs) to control insect pests in raw grain commodities, processed food warehouses, and in milling and storage facilities (Mondal and Parween 2000, Campbell et al 2004). Methoprene, a juvenile hormone analog, affects growth and development of immature stages of stored-product insects and prevents maturation to the adult stage (Oberlander et al 1997, Henrick 2007.…”

A series of studies was conducted to determine the effects of temperature on toxicity of the insect growth regulator methoprene to eggs and larvae of Plodia interpunctella (Hübner), the Indianmeal moth. When methoprene was applied to Kraft paper at the rate of 0.0003 mg of active ingredient [(AI)]/cm2, there was little direct toxicity against eggs of P. interpunctella, and temperature did not affect insecticide efficacy. Similarly, exposure of eggs on a paperboard surface treated with different rates of methoprene resulted in delayed adult emergence but not a reduction in adult emergence. However, wandering-phase larvae ofP. interpuctella were susceptible to methoprene, and exposure of larvae for 0.5, 1, and 2 h on different packaging materials resulted in reduced adult emergence. There was variation in emergence depending on the specific surface, but temperature had no effect on resulting adult emergence from exposed larvae. A partial budget analysis described treatment costs and reduction of risks associated with control of eggs and larvae of P. interpunctella. Results indicate methoprene could be used in management programs to control larvae of P. interpunctella, but eggs may be able to compensate for exposure to methoprene residues on treated surfaces.

“…In a simple classiÞcation scheme, we can think about the insects associated with food facilities occurring in or moving between two types of patch locations: those outside of the food facility and those inside the building (in the structure of the building, spillage, or stored commodity) (Campbell et al 2004). Doud and Phillips (2000) found high numbers of P. interpunctella outside a ßour mill and speculated that immigration could be important in pest dynamics inside the mill.…”

“…Landscape structure in turn inßuences inhabitant behavioral and ecological processes such as dispersal, population dynamics, and spatial distribution (Turner 1989, Wiens et al 1993, Wiens 1997. For stored-product insects, it is likely that landscapes are fragmented at a range of spatial scales and populations are made up of subpopulations that are interconnected by dispersal behavior (Campbell et al 2004). At a simplistic level, we can ask what is the degree of interconnection among individuals inside and outside an anthropogenic structure (i.e., subpopulations interacting on a spatial scale greater than the structure).…”

Distribution and Dispersal Behavior of Trogoderma variabile and Plodia interpunctella Outside a Food Processing Plant

The distribution and dispersal distances of insects outside of food processing and storage facilities potentially have an important influence on the population dynamics and spatial distribution of insects inside facilities. In this study, Trogoderma variabile Ballion and Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) sex pheromone-baited trap captures outside and inside a food processing facility were measured, the relationship between trap captures outside and inside the facility was evaluated, and the dispersal ability of the males of these species was assessed using self-mark-recapture stations. T. variabile and P. interpunctella males were captured in high numbers outside the food facility. The two species differed in their spatial distribution around the facility, with T. variabile being more closely associated with the proximity of the building, but most likely originating from sources outside the building. For marked T. variabile, the average recapture distance was 75 m (range 21-508 m) and for marked P. interpunctella the average recapture distance was 135.6 m (range 21-276 m). In an immigration/emigration experiment, three T. variabile marked outside were recaptured inside, but no T. variabile marked inside were recaptured outside and no marked P. interpunctella were recaptured in either location. The potential for outside populations to influence inside populations has implications for the effectiveness of different management and monitoring tools.
