“…However, a reduction of about 15% from the control level was shown following storage at 21 °C and this may be sufficient to affect dispersal in the field and thus influence the overall efficiency of SIT. Our results parallel other studies showing the detrimental effects of cool storage on the flight capacity of insects . The effect of cool storage of pupae on adult flight ability has been documented less extensively than the effect of cool storage on survival.…”

BACKGROUND Cool storage is a valuable means of manipulating insect development time. The Queensland fruit fly (Q‐fly) is Australia's most economically significant pest of fruit crops. The present study investigates cool storage of Q‐fly pupae for increasing production flexibility for sterile insect technique programs. Development time, survival and fly quality were assessed following continuous storage of 1‐day‐old pupae at temperatures ranging from 13 to 25 °C. RESULTS Survival was reduced almost to zero by pupal storage at 13 and 15 °C, was greatly reduced by storage at 17 °C, and was modestly reduced by storage at 19 °C. Pupal development time was extended by 16 days at 17 °C and by 9 days at 19 °C. Cool storage negatively affected flight ability and depleted lipid reserves. Cool storage at 19 °C enhanced the ability of 3‐day‐old adults to recover from chill‐coma compared to control flies, indicating cold acclimation. CONCLUSION There is potential for use of cool storage in Q‐fly mass rearing, especially to improve alignment between production and field releases. For the purpose of delaying the development time of Q‐fly pupae with minimal quality reduction, storage at 23 °C is recommended for 1‐day‐old pupae. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry

“…The mechanisms resulting in the changes in sex ratio after storage have yet to be elucidated (Lins 2013). While Ismail et al (2010) found in Aphidius ervi Haliday (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), males are more sensitive to cold storage than do females, suggesting that cold storage affects the quality of sperm before insemination.…”

Tetranychus urticae Koch (Arachnida: Acari: Tetranychidae) is an economically important agricultural and horticultural pest around the world. The present study investigated the prolonged exposure of eggs (i.e., 0, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours) to low temperature (i.e., 5 ºC) affecting the egg hatching, and subsequent immature development and survival as well as the reproductive fitness of resultant females. Our results show that chilling had no significant effect on egg hatching rate, but significantly shortened egg development. It was found that prolonged chilling significantly decreased the survival of immature stages. Prolonged chilling also significantly delayed the development of males and thus adult emergence, but had not significantly effect on female development and survival. Results further indicate that the negative effect of lengthy chilling extended to the resultant females resulting in the significantly shorter longevity and lower fecundity. It is interesting that the resultant females might benefit from parental egg chilling, i.e., they started oviposition significantly early and produced significantly higher female-biased sex ratio. The implications from the results of this study in forecasting spring populations and outbreak of this pest in the growing season were discussed.

Octodonta nipae (Maulik) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) is currently a serious invasive pest of palm plants in southern China. Although previous studies reported that Tetrastichus brontispae Ferriere (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) could successfully parasitize the pupae of O. nipae, little is known of the potential for T. brontispae to control this pest. To understand the interaction between T. brontispae and O. nipae, the effects of parasitoid feeding regimes, host age and density, parasitoid age and density, and cold storage on the parasitism of T. brontispae were investigated. Our results indicate that a supply of either glucose or sucrose increased the longevity and fecundity of T. brontispae. The parasitoid preferred one-day-old host pupae and its fecundity increased with increasing host or parasitoid female density. Extended cold storage negatively affected the parasitism of T. brontispae. These results demonstrate how to efficiently raise T. brontispae and will contribute to the effective management of O. nipae.
