“…In the field population, there was a higher proportion of males than females for the M-form, while the proportion of the Sb-form was higher in females than males (PB 0.01, x 2 test); but the sex ratio of the B-form was similar (P!0.05). Wei's (2008b) study of sex ratio in N. huttoni, also found an excess of males in some field samples. Although wing form was not monitored in that work, because the Sb-form is now found to have more females, that result can now be attributed to a preponderance of Mform males.…”

Individuals of Nysius huttoni White, a ground-dwelling hemipteran, develop one of three wing forms. Field studies were carried out from 1995 to 1998 to investigate the proportion of each wing form; adult populations consisted of 94.1% macropters, 5.5% sub-brachypters and 0.4% brachypters. Paired mating adults were collected for two years in 1995Á1996 and 1996Á1997 to investigate which wing forms were mating with which, and the proportions of the wing form combinations among the mating pairs. Theoretically, there are nine possible mating combinations among three wing forms. However, only six mating combinations were found in the field. Four mating combinations, M)M, àM) ßSb, ßM ) àSb and Sb)Sb occurred in both years; and two mating combinations, ßM ) àB and ßSb ) àB were found only in 1996Á1997. The other three mating combinations, àM) ßB, àSb) ßB and B)B were not found in either year. M )M was the predominant mating combination with an average percentage of 81.2%. The effects of temperature and photoperiod on wing development of this species were investigated at five constant temperatures (15, 20, 25, 30 and 3590.58C), one ambient (laboratory room conditions) temperature and three photoperiods (16-h, 12-h, and 8-h of light) in the laboratory. The results indicate that both low and high temperatures, and short day-length at lower temperature, tend to accelerate the production of sub-brachypters and brachypters, while high temperature under long photoperiod appears to favour the production of macropters. This ability to produce macropters possibly benefits this bug by enabling rapid dispersal of adults during occasional very dry summers (which may kill preferred weedy hosts) to temporary alternative crop hosts in Canterbury and Central Otago.

“…Rearing experiments were started from the first clutch of eggs laid by these adults. As in Wei (2008b) newly hatched first instar nymphs of N. huttoni were transferred to small glass vials (2 cm diameter, 5.5 cm high) on the same day that the eggs hatched. The nymphs were then reared singly on shepherd's purse.…”

“…However, the sex ratio is often affected by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors, including genetics, behaviour, physiology, intracellular endosymbionts, and biotic and abiotic factors like temperature, photoperiod, humidity, light conditions, and host or prey quality and quantity [71,72]. A study on the sex ratio of Nysius huttoni (White, 1878) (Hemiptera, Lygaeidae), conducted both in the laboratory and using samples from the natural environment [73], revealed that, in the natural environment, the sex ratio remained constant at around 1:1. In contrast, in the laboratory environment, a combination of short photoperiods and low temperatures produced the highest proportion of males.…”

Corythucha arcuata, commonly known as the oak lace bug (OLB), is an insect species originally native to North America that has become an invasive species of significant concern in Europe. This invasive pest has been observed in various European countries, raising concerns about its impact on forest ecosystems. In 2015, it was first documented in Romania, further highlighting the need for research on its bioecology and life cycle. This study investigated the bioecology of the OLB in the southern region of Romania, focusing on its life cycle, development, and population dynamics. The results indicated that the OLB has three generations per year and overwinters in the adult stage in sheltered locations. Temperature significantly influenced the timing of egg hatching, nymph appearance, and adult development, with variation observed between generations. Additionally, a life table analysis provided insights into the population dynamics of the OLB in its natural environment, revealing variation in egg laying trends across generations. This research contributes to a better understanding of the OLB’s bioecology and provides essential data for forest managers developing science-based management strategies to mitigate its impact. By elucidating the life cycle and development patterns of the OLB in southern Romania, this study aids in the development of predictive models and life tables tailored to the region. These findings empower forest managers with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions for effective OLB management, ultimately preserving the health of forest ecosystems.

Wei (2008) yang melakukan penelitian pada Nysius huttoni White juga menyatakan bahwa faktor abiotik, seperti suhu dan kelembaban dapat mempengaruhi banyak aspek dalam ekologi dan biologi dari spesies serangga, yaitu perkembangan, reproduksi, kelangsungan hidup, dan juga nisbah kelamin.…”

Stenocranus pacificus Kirkaldy (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) is destructive pest on corn plants in South Lampung and it has been reported to cause corn damages in North Sumatra. The objective of this research was to study some aspects biology of S. pacificus on corn plants in screenhouse. The research was conducted by observing the biology of S. pacificus that was reared on corn plants in screenhouse. The results showed that life cycle of S. pacificus was 38–47 (41,60 ± 3,19) days: egg was 9–11 (10,20 ± 0,79) days, the first instar nymph was 3–4 (3,70 ± 0,48) days, the second instar nymph was 3–4 (3,90 ± 0,32) days, the third instar nymph was 3–4 (3,70 ± 0,48) days, the fourth instar nymph was 3–4 (3,80 ± 0,42) days, and the fifth instar nymph was 3–4 (3,60 ± 0,52) days. Age of female was 13–17 (15,30 ± 1,34) days. It was longer than age of male which was 8–12 (10,10 ± 1,20) days. Female could produce 181–214 (197,60 ± 11,64) eggs during its life. The sex ratio was 1:1,98.
