Temperature-dependent development of Lista haraldusalis (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) on Platycarya strobilacea

Agriculture pest and disease risk maps considering MSG satellite data and land surface temperature

“…As a result, predicting insect growth stages using a fixed date calendar is extremely difficult. Instead, predictions should be based on a temperature-based function, such as the sum of degree-days (Wilson and Barnett, 1983;Manel and Debouzie, 1997;Ro and Long, 1999;Wise and Lamb, 2004;Doerr et al, 2005;Nietschke et al, 2007;Trnka et al, 2007;Knodel and Ganehiarachchi, 2008;Elliott et al, 2009;Squires et al, 2009;Damos and SavopoulouSoultani, 2010;Elliott et al, 2011;Ahn et al, 2012;Caffarra et al, 2012;Maiorano et al, 2012;bin Kim and Kim, 2013;Jones et al, 2013;Babu et al, 2014;Chuang et al, 2014;Choi and Kim, 2014;Esbjerg and Sigsgaard, 2014;Gonzalez et al, 2014;Jacquemin et al, 2014;Liu et al, 2014;Lozowski et al, 2014;Rao et al, 2014).…”

Microbiome-Guided Exploration of the Microbial Assemblage of the Exotic Beverage “Insect Tea” Native to Southwestern China

“…Various plant species can be used for the production of insect tea, including Cyclocarya paliurus (wheel wingnut, Juglandaceae) (Wen and Guo, 1997;Xiang and Lu, 1998;Wang et al, 2010). In analogy to the broad substrate range, many insect species from the order Lepidoptera can be utilized to produce insect tea (Qin, 1983;Bai, 2010;Liu et al, 2014). Interestingly, Pyralis farinalis, which is commonly known as the meal moth and famous as cosmopolitan pest of stored grain, is also often used for insect tea production (Shang et al, 2011).…”

Estimating development and temperature thresholds of Ephestia kuehniella: toward improving a mass production system

“…Nonlinear models enable estimation of the optimal temperatures and upper threshold temperatures for various stages of an insects' development. Temperature-driven rate models have been utilized to forecast the seasonal population dynamics and activity of pests (Roy et al, 2002;Liu et al, 2014). Wagner et al (1984), Hagstrum & Milliken (1988), and Subramanyam & Hagstrum (1993) highlighted the nonlinear relationship between temperature and development for several beetles of stored product.…”

“…An insect's developmental rate is almost linear below the limit of sub-lethal maximum temperatures (Pakyari et al ., 2011a; Liu et al ., 2014) and a linear model is widely used to describe the relationship between developmental rate and a limited range of temperatures as it enables estimation of the thermal constant and lower temperature threshold (Campbell et al ., 1974). The developmental rate is basically zero at and below the lower threshold temperature.…”
