Tribolium castaneum: A Model Insect for Fundamental and Applied Research

James F. Campbell et al.

Summary: Tribolium castaneum has a long history as a model species in various subject areas. Research on its genetics, genomics, behavior, ecology, and pest management has provided valuable insights. Its genome sequencing, combined with available genomic tools, has facilitated functional genomics research. Understanding of its sensory systems, response to pheromones, movement patterns, and landscape utilization has improved. The use of Tribolium castaneum as a model in pest management, including the evaluation of insecticide resistance mechanisms, has also been significant. However, there is still potential for further integration among these fields.

Hormesis and insects: Effects and interactions in agroecosystems

G. Christopher Cutler et al.

Summary: Insects in agroecosystems face various stressors at low levels, and exposure to mild stress has been found to induce hormetic effects in insects. This review explores the ecological niches of insects in agroecosystems and how hormesis can manifest within and across different insect groups. The mechanistic explanations for hormesis in insects are starting to emerge, but there is a lack of field-based research on this topic. The review also emphasizes the importance of studying the effects of hormesis on species interactions and community structure and functioning, with a focus on understudied guilds such as insect natural enemies, pollinators, and detritivores.

Status and Prospects of Botanical Biopesticides in Europe and Mediterranean Countries

Fatma Acheuk et al.

Summary: Safe alternatives to synthetic pesticides are urgently needed for human and environmental health. Botanical pesticides, which are effective and easily biodegradable, have the potential to be a solution. However, the development of commercial biopesticides from plant species is limited, and there are several constraints and challenges that need to be addressed.

Impact of natural products on discovery of, and innovation in, crop protection compounds

Thomas C. Sparks et al.

Summary: Natural products (NPs) have been a significant source and inspiration for developing novel crop protection compounds, with NPs, their derivatives, and compounds inspired by NPs accounting for 17% of all crop protection compounds. The impact of NPs on the discovery of new modes of action and innovation in crop protection compounds has been consistent over the past 70 years. NPs have had the largest impact on insecticides compared to fungicides and herbicides.

Innovation in insecticide discovery: Approaches to the discovery of new classes of insecticides

Thomas C. Sparks et al.

Summary: The increasing demand for agrochemical insecticides has led to the development of new solutions for managing crop pest insects. Creating new classes of insecticidal molecules can stimulate improvements in spectrum, efficacy, and environmental impact. Understanding the origins and discovery approaches of first-in-class (FIC) insecticides provides insights for successful strategies in developing future FIC insecticides.

Arthropod outbreaks, stressors, and sublethal stress

Raul Narciso C. Guedes et al.

Summary: Outbreaks are sudden increases in population density of a species, and they are important in both natural and artificial systems. Climate and anthropogenic stressors directly or indirectly affect arthropod populations, and their effects are dose- or intensity-dependent. Sublethal stimulation or hormesis is an important phenomenon, but it has been primarily studied in agricultural settings, neglecting key complexities of biological systems.

Pesticide-induced hormesis in arthropods: Towards biological systems

Raul Narciso C. Guedes et al.

Summary: Misconceptions about the importance of pesticide-induced hormesis in arthropods have delayed its recognition. Historically, the focus on lethal effects in experiments overshadowed the consideration of sublethal effects. However, there has been a shift in this trend with the recognition of the significance of pesticide-induced hormesis. This review highlights the potential impacts of hormesis on species interactions and community dynamics, providing a broader understanding beyond its immediate implications for agriculture.

Insect-Plant Interactions: A Multilayered Relationship

Garima Sharma et al.

Summary: Insects recognize host plants through chemical cues during herbivory, while plants induce defense responses to resist attack. The interaction involves various factors such as microbiota, competitors, and predators that influence both insect and plant performance. Insect endosymbionts play a crucial role in host survival and fitness, while plant-associated microbes contribute to plant defense.

Do pesticides promote or hinder sustainability in agriculture? The challenge of sustainable use of pesticides in modern agriculture

Maira Lykogianni et al.

Summary: Sustainable agriculture aims to meet the growing food needs of the world population while minimizing the adverse effects of pesticides on human health and the environment. Strengthened legislation frameworks and the implementation of Integrated Pest Management principles are crucial for the sustainable use of pesticides in agriculture.

Host repertoires and changing insect-plant interactions

Mariana P. Braga et al.

Summary: One of the main challenges faced by ecologists today is understanding and predicting how species interactions will respond to current environmental change, with a particular focus on intimate and specialised ecological interactions. The differentiation between fundamental and realised host repertoires is vital for understanding how insect-plant interactions will respond to the ecological opportunities instigated by environmental change.
