“…However, the lack of adequate artificial diets makes it necessary to use large numbers of preferential or alternative hosts to produce these natural enemies (Milward-de-Azevedo et al, 2004). The preservation of hosts at low temperatures for later use without losses on the reproductive caracteristics of parasitoids is important to increase the production of these agents of biological control (Thomazini and Berti-Filho, 1998;Leopold et al, 1998;Floate, 2002;Pratissoli et al, 2003;Milward-de-Azevedo et al, 2004).…”

“…The high parasitism and emergence of individuals of P. elaeisis from pupae of B. mori after storage at 10 °C during all periods is important, showing that low temperatures constitute a strategy to preserve and to increase the availability of this host to be used at the right time to produce parasitoids in mass rearing programs (Thomazini and Berti-Filho, 1998;Leopold et al, 1998;Floate, 2002;Pratissoli et al, 2003;Milward-deAzevedo et al, 2004).…”

The mass rearing of parasitoids represents a fundamental stage for programmes of biological control. The progeny of the parasitoid Palmistichus elaeisis Delvare and LaSalle (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) were evaluated on previously refrigerated pupae of Bombyx mori L. (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae). Forty-eight to 72 hours-old pupae of B. mori were stored at 10 °C for five, 10, 15 or 20 days and then exposed to parasitism by P. elaeisis females. This parasitoid showed shorter duration of the life cycle when reared on pupae of B. mori which were previously stored at 10 °C during 15 days. P. elaeisis parasitized 100% of the pupae of B. mori after storage at 10 °C during all periods with emergence of this parasitoid from 78 to 100% of these pupae. P. elaeisis had a higher number of progeny per pupa of B. mori stored for 15 days at 10 °C. Pupae of B. mori can be stored for 15 days at 10 °C before being used to rear P. elaeisis.Keywords: parasitoids, mass-rearing, host, temperature. Desempenho reprodutivo de

“…For chill-susceptible insects, intermittent periods of recovery during a cold exposure often permit higher survival than a single prolonged exposure to cold (Chen and Denlinger, 1992;Colinet et al, 2006;Kostal et al, 2007;Leopold et al, 1998;Nedved et al, 1998;Renault et al, 2004). Periods of higher temperatures allow the insects to repair cold injury by restoring ion homeostasis (Kostal et al, 2007) and replenishing ATP levels (Dollo et al, 2010), for example.…”

There was an error published in J. Exp. Biol. 214,[806][807][808][809][810][811][812][813][814] In calculating the metabolite levels (i.e. lipid, glycogen, trehalose, glucose and glycerol) and energy content values (Figs2 and 3), an incorrect correction factor was applied in the last step of the calculation. The correct metabolite and energy content values can be obtained by multiplying the values that appear in the manuscript by a factor of 2.

“…In the 1970s, it became apparent that FTs improved thermal tolerance of insects over those exposed to CTs (17,82), and that fitness could be greater in FTs (6). Research on FTs resurged in the early 2000s, particularly in the context of insect cold tolerance (75,83,96).…”

All climate change scenarios predict an increase in both global temperature means and the magnitude of seasonal and diel temperature variation. The nonlinear relationship between temperature and biological processes means that fluctuating temperatures lead to physiological, life history, and ecological consequences for ectothermic insects that diverge from those predicted from constant temperatures. Fluctuating temperatures that remain within permissive temperature ranges generally improve performance. By contrast, those which extend to stressful temperatures may have either positive impacts, allowing repair of damage accrued during exposure to thermal extremes, or negative impacts from cumulative damage during successive exposures. We discuss the mechanisms underlying these differing effects. Fluctuating temperatures could be used to enhance or weaken insects in applied rearing programs, and any prediction of insect performance in the field—including models of climate change or population performance—must account for the effect of fluctuating temperatures.
