“…Use of baited traps in stored grain insect pest management is one of the most cost-effective methods for monitoring pest densities in storage (Collins & Chambers, 2003;Edde et al, 2005;Toews et al, 2005Toews et al, , 2009Trematerra et al, 2007b;Campbell et al, 2009). Most storage pest lures available commercially are derived from aggregation pheromones.…”

We tested, in an olfactometer, whether or not Tribolium castaneum Herbst (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) responds preferentially to the volatiles that emanate from the fungi associated with cotton [Gossypium hirsutum L. (Malvaceae)] seed over those that emanate from cereals, because cereals are usually portrayed as the primary resources of these beetles. Pairwise comparisons were conducted between cotton seed, wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), and sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] (both Poaceae); volatiles were tested from intact seeds and from both water and ethanol extracts. The results demonstrate that T. castaneum is attracted more strongly to cotton seeds with its lint contaminated with fungi, than to the conventional resources of this species (i.e., wheat and sorghum). Further tests prove that it is the fungus on the lint that produces the active volatiles, because the beetles did not respond to sterilized cotton lint (i.e., without the fungi typically associated with it when cotton seed is stored). Tests with five fungal cultures (each representing an unidentified species that was isolated from the field‐collected cotton lint) were variable across the cultures, with only one of them being significantly attractive to the beetles. The others were not attractive and one may even have repulsed the beetles. The results are consistent with the beetles having a strong ecological association with fungi and suggest it would be worth investigating the ecology of T. castaneum from this perspective.

“…They invade products through existing openings rather than destroying packaging film (Highland 1991;Adler 2008). For example, typical coleopteran penetrators are Stegobium paniceum (Linnaeus) and Lasioderma serricorne (Fabricius) from the family Anobiidae, Prostephanus truncates (Horn) and Rhyzopertha dominica (Fabricius) from the family Bostrychidae and Oryzaephilus surinamensis (Linnaeus) from the family Silvanidae (Highland 1991;Choi et al 1996;Campbell et al 2002Campbell et al , 2004. Additionally, the Indian meal moth Plodia interpunctella (Hubner) and the almond moth Cadra cautella (Walker) are penetrators in their search for a pupation location (Highland 1991;Choi et al 1996;Campbell et al 2004).…”

Food‐associated insect pests are of great economic and hygienic importance. However, their identification requires expert knowledge and excessive time. Such pests are discovered in food as body parts or immature stages, which further complicates the identification process. In this study, we constructed a DNA barcode dataset of insect pests that can be detected in food. We also tested the efficacy of these DNA barcode sequences for identifying food‐associated insect pests. A 658 bp fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene was analyzed from 55 species of food‐associated insect pests in Korea. The results indicated that this portion of the COI gene effectively discriminated >90% of the food‐associated insect pests. Mean genetic divergences among individuals belonging to one species/between species belonging to one genus of the five orders, Blattaria, Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera and Diptera, were 0.59%/13.18%, 0.84%/20.10%, 0.02%/22.61%, 0.24%/3.48% and 0.17%/15.90%, respectively. In conclusion, we established the first DNA barcode dataset and confirmed its efficiency for identifying food‐associated insect pests in Korea.

“…Increasing sanitation efforts in milling and warehousing facilities could eliminate refugia where T. castaneum populations can develop and spread (Campbell & Arthur, 2007), and also increase the effectiveness of chlorfenapyr and other insecticides used in the pest management program. Monitoring pest populations would also be of great benefit in pest management programs that utilize insecticides as a control strategy (Campbell et al, 2002;Campbell & Arbogast, 2004). Spatial analysis is an effective method for mapping the distribution and spread of stored-product insects (Brenner et al, 1998;Arbogast et al, 2000Arbogast et al, , 2002, which could provide a means to specifically target insecticidal applications (Toews et al, 2005).…”

Efficacy of chlorfenapyr against adult Tribolium castaneum exposed on concrete: effects of exposure interval, concentration and the presence of a food source after exposure

Chlorfenapyr, an insecticidal pyrrole, was applied to concrete arenas at concentrations of 1.1, 0.825, 0.55, and 0.275 g of active ingredient [AI]/m 2 . Adult Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), the red flour beetle, were exposed for 2, 4, or 8 h at each concentration, then removed and held either with or without food (wheat flour) for 7 days. Survival was assessed when the beetles were removed from the exposure arenas and daily during the postexposure period. In the presence of food, survival was high regardless of concentration and the day on which post-treatment survival was assessed, but survival did decrease as the exposure period increased from 4 to 8 h. When the beetles were not given food after exposure, survival at each concentration and exposure period declined during the 1-week postexposure assessments. This pattern of decrease could be described by linear and non-linear equations. Results show the presence of food material greatly compromised effectiveness of the insecticide, and emphasize the importance of cleaning and sanitation in conjunction with insecticide treatments.
