Increasing temperatures affect multiyear life cycle of the outbreak bush ‐cricket Barbitistes vicetinus (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae)
We clarify that forBarbitistes vicetinus the occurrence of a facultative multiyear diapause is triggered by summer temperatures experienced by eggs after oviposition. Field observations showed that the proportion of embryos that can complete development at the end of summer ranged from zero to nearly 90% depending on summer temperature. A substantial shift in rates of development from 20% to nearly 80% occurred in a thermal range of about only 1  °C. Overall, the results suggest a potential key role of summer temperature warming on the outbreak propensity of this species, able to switch from a multiyear to an annual life...

Cover Caption
A worker of thebumblebee Bombus (Melanobombus) friseanus collecting nectar on aGaillardia aristata flower. Bumblebees are social insects possessing a simple, recurring, and distinctive set of gut microbiota that contributes to the health of its host. The unique life cycle of bumblebees is key for the acquisition and development of their gut microbiota. Bumblebees may provide a valuable system for understanding the general principles of host-microbe interactions, gut-brain axis, and vertical transmission (see pages 958-976).

Relative fitness of susceptible and Cry1A.105/Cry2Ab2 ‐single‐/dual‐protein‐resistant Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) on non‐Bt diet and a diet containing a low concentration of two proteins
In this study, two tests (Test-I and Test-II) were conducted to evaluate the relative fitness of Bt-susceptible and -resistantH. zea on non-Bt diet (Test-I and Test-II) and a diet containing a mix of Cry1A.105 and Cry2Ab2 at a low concentration (Test-II only). Insect populations evaluated in Test-I were two Bt-susceptible strains and three Bt-resistant strains (a single-protein Cry1A.105-, a single-protein Cry2Ab2-, and a dual-protein Cry1A.105/Cry2Ab2-resistant strains). Test-II analyzed the same two susceptible strains, three backcrossed-and-reselected Cry1A.105/Cry2Ab2-single-/dual-protein-resistant strains, and three F...
